Brees not on Madden 12 Cover!

SmashMouth · 04-27-2011, 10:50 PM

Cleveland has ended its championship drought.

Browns running back Peyton Hillis will grace the cover of Madden NFL '12, the popular video game, after beating Philadelphia quarterback Michael Vick in a vote by fans. Hillis received 66 percent of the one million votes cast to handily defeat Vick in the final.

Hillis rushed for 1,177 yards last season, his first with the Browns.

With his bulldozing running style, the 25-year-old Hillis became a cult hero in Cleveland, which hasn't celebrated a professional sports title since the Browns won an NFL title in 1964.

One of Hillis' first perks for winning will be to present the top 10 list on David Letterman's late-night TV talk show.

Drew broke the curse, he'll be ok

Saints will be fine, just keep Vick off the cover

Yep, the Super Bowl is ours.

Saints defeat Ravens, 38 - 17. Drew Brees is named the Super Bowl MVP for a second time as he cements his status as the preeminent quarterback of the league.

I find it hard to believe that Vick was even considered. I know he's done his time, and he was good last year, but...

Congrats to Peyton Hillis on making the cover. TBH, I don't really care who gets the Madden cover, as long as it's not ***** boy Brady or skidmarks Ryan.

Drew had his worst game versus the Browns, now a Brown bumps him off the cover of Madden.

Congrats Cleveland, we were in your pathetic shoes for 40 years.
