Brett Favre to be Madden 09 Coverboy

Oogity_Boogity_Boo | April 25, 2008 | News | Playstation 3 Wii 
It was announced last night on the late show with David Letterman that Brett Favre will be on the cover of Madden NFL 09, which is the franchise's 20th anniversary edition.
This year will be the 20th anniversary of the Madden franchise, and with the recent retirement of Brett Favre, it only seemed fitting that he would be the cover athlete for the upcoming title. For the first time in Madden cover history, a non-active player will grace the cover of the franchise.

    Oh my God, nice. I never once thought that Favre might've been the one to grace the next Madden cover. I thought maybe Eli Manning, Tom Brady, or someone. But that's awesome nonetheless. Favre deserves it.

    The man definitely deserves it. Good Choice by the Madden franchise and EA.

    This just seems like a cheap way to try to break the Madden curse to me...

    Or maybe I'm still bitter about Super Bowl XXXI...

    Damn why him, he's a hyped up Quarterback. And Hardly the best anyway.

      Hyped? are you kidding me? The man has long been one of the best quarterbacks in the game. He may not be the best out there when he retired, but he definitely was a man with great charisma and passion for the game as well as putting up some impressive numbers. He more than deserves the cover.

        Its bad enough John madden kisses his ass, now he's using him for the cover of his game? Come on enough, he continued saying every year for 4 years im retiring its the end, he stays only to pass Dan Marino's numbers its pathetic imo. While he is going to end up on the hall of fame, his whole career for the last 4 years has just been annoying. Are you retiring or not? And a few weeks ago he stated " If the QB gets injured i possible will return to take over". I mean come one enough is enough. Im sorry but I would take Elway, Unitas and anyone QB in history which includes Payton Manning and his brother over him.

        Hate to say it but this article is a duplicate anyway. And Jmac and iLL stated the reasons i say about Bret Favre.

          No, that article is merely stating the possibility. This is a confirmation.

      Um... Is he playing buttball instead of football?
      I don't see why he can't play if only his butt is injured.

      (The above comment is a joke, right? )
