I had a feeling this was going to end VERY badly.
EA Sports and ESPN teamed up to, through ESPN's SportsNation, do a tournament poll to determine the cover person (not athlete) for Madden 12.
Each of the 32 teams got one representative. (Seattle had no worthy players, apparently, so their fans, as "The 12th Man", were the Seahawks' representative.)
I would like to announce, seven days early, the Madden 12 cover person:
Dog Killer. Ron Mexico. Piece of Shit Michael Vick.
How do I know this?
Because ESPN or some sabotage operation (though almost certainly the former!) eliminated probably the only player who could've defeated him, and through VERY suspicious means...
Aaron Rodgers, of the Super Bowl Champion Green Bay Packers (and it'd feel a lot better saying that if Brian Tuohy hadn't known the result of the game three hours before kickoff), was the #1 seed in his quarter of the draw.
He defeated Ndakumong Suh (the AP Defensive Player of the Year as a rookie) by a 3-1 margin.
He did the same to Sam Bradford.
He then defeated Danny Woodhead of the Patriots by 56-44. OK, I can live with that -- the Patriots are always on The Short List.
So will someone please explain to me -- other than the obvious fact that EA, ESPN, and the inner-city black demographic which Madden and the NFL seem to want to cherish want DogKiller Vick to be on the cover (again! - and he'd be the first player in history to grace the cover twice) -- how Rodgers loses the cover poll semifinal by 61-39 (better than a 3-2 margin)...
... to PEYTON HILLIS of the CLEVELAND BROWNS!!!
Hillis has only started in the league one year (last year). He did have a 1,000-yard rushing season and 11 touchdowns. He was a backup for two years previous to that.
He beats Ray Rice, Vick's replacement (Matt Ryan, and by only 51-49!), and Jamaal Charles of the Chiefs.
And it's not like much of the rest of his quarter of the bracket had any real stars in it (Maurice Jones-Drew, Tim Tebow, Dwight Freeney, and Jordan Gross).
So he then beats the Super Bowl MVP and quarterback of one of the most popular teams in the National Football League by better than a 3-2 margin????
WHO THE HELL DO YOU THINK YOU ARE KIDDING?
You want to present Michael Vick as this reformed God, but he's done nothing for me but to confirm he's a slimy piece of shit.
Vick defeated Andre Ware by a 3-1 margin. Then he beat Andre Johnson, Patrick Willis, and Adrian Peterson by approximately 3-2 margins apiece.
I've got no choice but to vote for Hillis, but I have a feeling another Madden boycott is in order, if not far worse -- and I better not go further than that. I had to reconsider a tweet to ESPN because I felt I might get my Twitter account suspended for what I'd like to do to DogKiller's Madden 12 displays...
