It'd more-or-less be a capstone for all the work Vick has done to rehabilitate himself, his character, and his name since he was found guilty of his crimes.

Contrary to popular belief, the justice system exists not to damn those guilty of criminal acts forever, but to teach those found guilty of crimes the wrong of their actions and to offer them rehabilitation and the ability to eventually once again conform with the expectations of our society. With regard to Vick's crimes, people seem to forget that.

Vick obviously broke the law and what he did was indefensible, but he's served his time and has done a hell of a lot of work to get back to where he is today.

How would that work? Vick handing the ball to Hillis?

# 225 OSUFan_88 @ 04/27/11 05:58 PM

Conspirators be damned, Hillis wins!!!!!!!!

# 226 djordan @ 04/27/11 05:58 PM

LOL WOW!!!!..

# 227 RGiles36 @ 04/27/11 05:58 PM

It's gotta be both right? Perhaps they wanted Vick on the cover, but wanted to mitigate the risk by having him share it?

Edit: I must be wrong LOL

# 228 DerkontheOS @ 04/27/11 05:58 PM

Woot go Hillis!!

Hahaha it's Hillis I love it! EA's marketing team is probably drunk and crying right now

lol, nice.

I know a lot of us hardcore football fans will claim we know Peyton Hillis (and most people here do), but really, he's even kinda unknown for a lot of NFL fans - much less the casual fan. This is gonna be fun to watch.

At least it will make him and the Browns more known next year.
I enjoyed his play all year.
But honestly I forgot his first name when I was explaining the MAdden Cover Vote

Yeah, I hear that. First time I ever heard of the guy was when I took up the Denver Broncos in a '10 online franchise. Got used to using him as a fullback and eventually ended up giving him as many touches as Knowshon Moreno (because he was actually rated around the same speed as him

.

Congrats Cleveland.

I would argue he quite obviously is, actually. That said, I'm obviously not going to change any stubborn opinions about Vick, he's a hot-button issue, so I'll just have peace in mine.

Congrats to Hillis for winning the cover vote.

Holy crap. We won something!

# 236 SouthernBrick @ 04/27/11 06:29 PM

I'm just wondering how EA is gonna screw up the cover now. Hillis looks good on the Madden cover(judging from a few fan made covers) so hopefully they'll do him some justice.

Well good luck to Hillis next season.

And guess Vick needs to save a dog from a burning building for every dog he harmed for people to even consider not bashing him at every chance. smh

Vick is one of the most popular athletes in the country right now. I'd argue he's in the top 10.

If by popular you mean well known than absolutely. Lets not pretend he is well-loved. If Vick is top ten than Hillis must be as well...

I wouldn't even put Hillis in the top 20 and that is probably being to nice. Not a *****...just sayin'.
