Madden bruiser: Peyton Hillis voted onto game's cover - ESPN
Ok, I'm not going to say that Hillis didn't deserve to get the cover, but let's take some things into consideration.
First off, he beat out both Aaron Rodgers and Michael Vick for the cover. And he didn't just squeak by, he won by nearly double the votes against both of these guys. That leads me to the conclusion (which is of course, my opinion), that both the Packers and Eagles fans assisted Hillis in winning, because they didn't want their star QBs to fall victim to the "Madden Curse". It may be far fetched, but that's what I think.
More importantly, Congrats Peyton Hillis! Just think, he seemingly came out of nowhere after being buried on the Broncos bench, even though they had him at starting fullback for a bit. The man is a pro-bowler now. Keep up that bruising, smashmouth running man, I love it!
