The NFL doesn't really care about defense anymore and Madden seems to be running out of stupid things to put "emphasis" on so they've moved on to defense it seems...and I would assume putting a defensive player on the cover seems less exciting to EA

If one believes that the vote is rigged, Hillis isn't the exception to the rule, he's the reason for the rule. If anything they would have instituted to avoid three straight Tebow covers

Anyway I think that it's ridiculous to have teams with multiple players while other teams are left out. I think it should be one player from each playoff team and four from the non-playoff teams.

1) Richard Sherman

2) Demaryius Thomas

3) Navorro Bowman

4) Devin McCourty if Brady won't do it I guess.

5) Jimmy Graham

6) Luke Kuechly

7) LeSean McCoy

8) Keenan Allen

9) AJ Green

10) Jamaal Charles

11) Andrew Luck

12) Eddie Lacy

13) Antonio Brown

14) Josh Gordon

15) Patrick Peterson

16) JJ Watt

That IMO is a much better bracket.

The fact that people get so up in arms over who is even in the vote itself just goes to show why EA does it every year.

As for the vote itself, it reminds of the stuff I've seen on WWE where the fans get to choose an opponent or opponents for somebody on any given night. At the end of the day, it doesn't matter what the fans vote for, the script reads what it reads. But personally, I couldn't care less who makes it on the cover. They could put John Madden's hairy back on it for all I care.

My team was left out....and I am ok with that.
