Peyton Hillis To Be On The Cover Of Madden NFL 12

Patrick Allen — Wed, 27 Apr 2011 21:05:04 +0000

Fans of the Cleveland Browns have something to cheer about as RB Peyton Hillis has defeated Michael Vick in the voting to grace the cover of Madden NFL 12.

Browns fans absolutely love Hillis and for good reason.

Chiefs fans remember Hillis from his brief stay as a member of the Denver Broncos. A couple of years ago, the Broncos went through a number of injuries at the HB position. They eventually got to Hillis and the young RB had a couple of really fantastic games before injuring himself in a game against the Chiefs. Hillis looked really good in that game and I remember being relieved when he got hurt and left the action.

At the end of the season, Broncos coach Mike Shannahan was canned and Josh McDaniels was brought in. McDaniels ignored Hillis for an entire season which I found strange seeing as how much promise I thought he had shown the year before. McDaniels then traded Hillis to Cleveland for Brady Quinn.

Oops.

Guess that is why McDaniels got fired and Hillis is now a star. Congrats to Hillis. Well deserved.

Madden 12 Cover Vote Update: Hillis vs. Vick For The Cover

Patrick Allen — Mon, 18 Apr 2011 16:57:25 +0000

The man who knocked Jamaal Charles out of the Madden 12 Cover Vote race has moved on to the finals.

Maybe it was meant to be.

Peyton Hillis pulled off a shocking upset over Super Bowl MVP Aaron Rodgers, defeating him 61%-39%. The Browns RB will take on former Madden 12 cover athlete Mike Vick, who defeated Adrian Peterson 59%-41%.

It stinks he knocked off Charles and I think Jamaal is the better back but I am rooting for Hillis all the way now. I thought Rodgers deserved to be on the cover but I have to hand it to Browns Nation, they have shown up in a big way for Hillis.

The city of Cleveland has had a rough go of it for a while now. They’ve had major heartbreak with all of their pro teams over the years, with the most recent humiliation being LeBron James’ classless dumping of the city on national television.

I grew up just outside of Cleveland the folks over there love their Browns and they’ve been seeking for someone to root for. Looks to me like Hillis is that guy. I think it’s a great story so I’m on team Hillis.

Who do you guys think should be on the cover? Vote here.

Jamaal Charles Losing To Peyton Hillis In The Madden 12 Cover Vote

Patrick Allen — Wed, 06 Apr 2011 15:46:03 +0000

Kansas City Chiefs RB Jamaal Charles needs the help of Chiefs Nation if he wants to continue his dream of being on the cover of Madden NFL 12.

Charles, who defeated Jaguars RB Maurice Jones-Drew in the last round of voting, is one of only eight players left in the competition.

Some fans are worried about the so called “Madden Curse” but we here at AA have decided to promote Charles in this endeavor. Charles has made it clear via Twitter that he really wants to be on the cover of Madden and if that is what he wants, we are going to help.

Right now Hillis is beating Charles by a 58/42 split. That means Charles fans need to get over to ESPN.com and start voting for Jamaal.

Madden 12 Cover Vote: Round 1 Results

Patrick Allen — Mon, 28 Mar 2011 16:15:26 +0000

EA and ESPN have released the results for the first round of the Madden NFL 12 Cover Vote.

Here are the results:

Advancing on the left:

Rodgers, Bradford, Woodhead, Nicks, MJD, Charles, Ryan, Hillis

Advancing on the right:

Rivers, Peterson, Brees, Sanchez, Vick, Andre Johnson, Ward and Willis

You can see the bracket here. Voting for this round ends on April 3rd.

My guess is this one is going to come down to Aaron Rodgers and Vick. Rodgers deserves it for leading the Pack to the Super Bowl and Vick is an insanely popular player to control in Madden. I think Rodgers and his SB pedigree will win out over Vick.

What do you guys think? Who will end up on the cover?
