I think of it this way, Rodgers gets hate from Lions, Bears, and Vikings fans. Hillis gets hate from baltimore, and cinci but I bet at this point Steelers fans hate on Rodgers a little more. Maybe that's how it worked out? lol

Browns fans must be doing some serious ballot stuffing. Rodgers should be on the cover.
Just goes to show why fans shouldn't be allowed to decide anything.
Sure Rodgers is the far better player and had a much better year, but the Madden cover isn't some sort of award... it's just a popularity contest. If the fans want to see Hillis on the cover i don't see anything wrong with that. It would be cool to see the underdog on the cover.

So Vick will be the only player to appear twice if I'm correct?

Hooray, a not so well known player on a shitty team on the cover. Either that or a convicted dog killer fresh out of the slammer.
Can't wait.
That said I'd rather see Hillis get it. Vick? A guy that most of the country wanted to hang by his nuts a few years ago is suddenly a golden boy? I don't get it.

Vick will win by a landslide , in fact I'm shocked hillis got this far, should have been Rodgers or Rivers. Why wasn't Brady or manning in the running?

he's a white running back... that lives up to the hype. How is this a surprise?

Funny thing about this years cover finalist is both have been afflicted with a case of fumbleitis. As none of the 1,000 yard rushers this past year had more fumbles then Hillis with 8 (Bradshaw and Benson had 7). Vick had 6 this past year.

People seem to forget that Hillis was a pure nobody(well, not quite since plenty of Denver fans knew he had talent) who was viewed as a NFL scrub(aka JOSH MCDANIELS WAS "RIGHT") prior to the season. He produced despite having an anemic supporting cast.
