Wasn't it Brees this year? He didn't bust.
Someone will find a reason he was a "bust". Maybe his Ints, or losing in the playoffs to a team with a losing record.

No... it's the knee injury that he sustained week 3 that they tried to cover up all year and then finally admitted to in January.
Or that. Either way, most of the recent examples of the Madden curse is just people reaching for things.

Racism is alive and well in America. Pretty sure that a black RB from the Browns with less than 1200 rushing yards would not have even gotten out of the first round.

HAHAHA I knew someone was gonna say something so absurd and rediculous like this. I has nothing to do with racism.Racism is alive and well in America. Pretty sure that a black RB from the Browns with less than 1200 rushing yards would not have even gotten out of the first round.

It might not be racism, but it certainly is racial. You can't possibly argue that Hillis got out of the first round if this voting, if he were black. Ray rice had more yards rushing and more receiving. Mendenhall had more rushing and more touchdowns. If you wanted to make a case for a break out running back who came out of no where to have an epic season, well, gosh, I don't know how you could look further than Foster, who had 450 more yards rushing, 120 more yards receiving and 5 more touchdowns. If you're doing it strictly on performance, Foster is clearly the running back that should have advanced to the finals.No. Hillis isn't on the cover because he is the best running back, a break out running back, a fantasy mvp, or any other reason than he's the first white 1000 yard rusher since 1986. Race has everything to do with his popularity.HAHAHA I knew someone was gonna say something so absurd and rediculous like this. I has nothing to do with racism. What a pathetic statement.Racism is alive and well in America. Pretty sure that a black RB from the Browns with less than 1200 rushing yards would not have even gotten out of the first round.

Or maybe just the fact that the team and city of Cleveland had a huge campaign to help thier player win the vote? Maybe that was it?It might not be racism, but it certainly is racial.

Or maybe it had something to do with the fact that one player brutally killed innocent dogs in a horrible and disgusting way and the other guy didn't.

yeah, I'm sure that was it.
Does cleveland even have internet access yet?
If that were the case, why was vick in the finals to begin with? Wouldn't he have lost in the first round? You can certainly make the case that vick making the finals was racial as well, as I imagine a disproportionate amount of Vick voters were african american, a community he is, was, and has always been immensely popular in.

it could be racism based but it was really a real life troll executed by the 4chan forums.Racism is alive and well in America. Pretty sure that a black RB from the Browns with less than 1200 rushing yards would not have even gotten out of the first round.

Maybe the Madden franchise has lost so much popularity that they needed an average white guy to represent just how mediocre it has become. Heard you get a free Big Mac and a Coke when you preorder.
If that were the case than Mike Alstott should have been on it 10 years ago.

So I guess Hillis is white? I had no idea. Seriously.
Why do people even worry about the racial aspect of a Madden cover? Maybe the people of Cleveland finally have someone on their team who might be considered for a cover and they're blowing up the voting to get a shred of respect. Isn't that possible as well?

He also had 11 rushing TDs and 61 receptions, but obviously what you are saying is at least partially true.Racism is alive and well in America. Pretty sure that a black RB from the Browns with less than 1200 rushing yards would not have even gotten out of the first round.

Did Aaron Rodgers want to be on the cover and does that play into it? Serious question. I would assume if a guy does not want to be on the cover that they don't have to be, maybe that is the reason.
He lost against Hillis in the semi's.It's pretty obvious there was an internet joke campaign to get Hillis the #1 spot. That's what they get for making it based on internet "votes."

Not sure why everyone assumes it's a joke. First, the cities with players competing in the bracket are the ones that really drive the vote. Cleveland pushed hard for fans to vote for Hillis. Also, Hillis had a good year and most people who follow the NFL appreciate his hard-nosed, blue collar style. He's a very humble, likeable player.
Hillis might not be the league MVP, but I would hardly conclude it took a "joke" to get him on the cover in this type of voting format.
