I agree. 3 MVP's in a row, and unquestionably one of the great QBs ever. It's just no big deal really and it's obvious that Madden himself has had a man crush on Brett forever. I never embraced Brett either (rooted against him in his 2 SB appearances) but some people seem to hate him (Stephen A Smith-no matter what he says).

The main feature this year...gasp...is realistic weather. Which makes the Brett Favre choice correct.
