Peyton Hillis Leading Michael Vick in Vote for Madden 12 Cover

If the vote for the cover athlete of Madden NFL 12 were to end today Browns running back Peyton Hillis would receive the honor. Hillis is winning over Eagles quarterback Michael Vick with the news of that coming from CNBC sports business reporter Darren Rovell. Given the strength of support behind Hillis and the outcomes of each match-up along the way being foretold in the early numbers it would appear likely he will hang on and win this. The official announcement of who will be on the Madden 12 cover is set to be made Wednesday.
This would be the ideal outcome for EA Sports. They’ve already gotten a high level of publicity out of the controversy created by including Vick in the tournament and his subsequent run through it. Hillis though makes for a great story to craft a marketing strategy around and is the type of high character guy desired to put front and center. Regardless of who were to win out the tournament has exceeded expectations in their ultimate goal of raising awareness of the upcoming game

Good. Keep the curse out of Philly

There is no such thing as a Madden curse, Vick gets hurt every year, so just hope you have a solid backup for the couple/few games he will inevitably miss.

Eagles 2012 superbowl champs?

I for one wouldn't want to be on the cover of Madden: Lockout.

If there were any truth to a Madden curse I think the players themselves wouldn't want to be on the cover, but every year they are on it anyway. last year there was no issue, Bree's had a monster year.

brees did get hurt, but he wasnt a pussy and he played through it, so i guess technically if niggers wanna be niggers and say the curse is true, then there ya go

It's the NFL, not flag football. Any NFL player will tell you EVERYONE is hurt sometime during the year.

It's like people saying the person on the Madden cover will get caught in a rainstorm. In fact that is what I believe. If your on the cover of Madden look out! Rainstorm is headed your way!
