Great read. I doubt JM gets so passionate about the game now. I doubt even he can't get the big boys at EA to listen anymore.

And that is why the game still has his name on it folks. Hopefully that will quiet the folks who say I wish they would just take Maddens name off it. For that they should put Madden back on the cover next year.

His name is on the game today, for the exact reason why they sought him out in the first place. Not for his Football acumen, but to capitalize on name recognition.

Madden isn't the mega broadcast star that he was, but his name on the game is etched in pop culture consciousness.

It has very little to do with any benefit of the input that he might bring.

why? the game is a shadow of its former self. if i were madden, i'd get out of the contract to get my name off the box. then again, his paycheck is probably good enough to warrant sidestepping this moral landmine.

John Madden should watch this video. Then let's see how many swear words he can come up with.
