How in the world is Hillis more popular than Aaron Rodgers who won the Super Bowl? Or even Clay Matthews? My wife hates football and barely watches it, but she knew who Clay Matthews was before the Super Bowl even started. When I told her that Hillis won the Madden cover, she's like "who?". Let's be real here, Vick didn't win because people are still holding a grudge and can't just let it go which is pretty ridiculous if you ask me because no one's life is perfect. Everyone has made a drastic mistake in their lives, but they want to continuously bash a man who is really trying to recover his life. It's really sad honestly.

At the end of the day, does it really matter why or why didn't people vote for X or Y?
Vick put himself in that predicament and he needs to live with it. Some people will never forgive him. Some people will.

Don't blame the voters on how they feel one way or the other.

Nobody knows for a fact why Hillis won or why Vick lost. It's all pure speculation.

EG was dead on in his assessment. Truly, there are more important things in life than a cover on a game.

If people were still so pissed at Vick, he never would have sniffed the finals.

I never bought a game for a cover. I wasnt going to buy the game anyway. If Franchise and Superstar mode is tremendously improved, I will consider buying it

Wasnt Peyton on the cover of Nfl fever?

Yea. I got the names mixed up

I voted for Vick...

Edit: Also, stop trolling Cleveland and Browns fans. We're not the crazed hicktown we're painted to be, just EXTREMELY passionate about our sports.

If it did they wouldn't have been in the original field. Also don't underestimate the number of Browns fans. Add that to the anti-Vick fans and there you go.

Absolutely. Don't forget about the Razorback fans. I like Vick alot but he never had a chance once it came between him and Hillis. A white boy who rushes for 1200 yards on the browns. He is a bruiser and you gotta love it.

I think hillis is a beast he deserves the cover in my opinion

# 189 taqiyya @ 05/01/11 10:54 AM

Ya it's wack Mike Vick did not make it on there. No sweat we all make our own covers anyways right?

Gratz to Peyton. Hell he might get a little more exposer now he is cover guy. The madden curse is more of a coincidence anyways in my opinion.

If Hillis gets a cover, I best be seeing a Calvin Johnson cover in the near future.

Detroit doesn't get any love for covers of games. Not even the Wings with their success.
