Favre To Grace Cover Of Madden '09, It Seems
This not-so-wild speculation courtesy of GameDaily — and seemingly confirmed Awful Announcing and by us, through a source who was at the Letterman taping that airs tonight — reveals that Brett Favre will be on the cover of the Madden 09. More »

Of course just about everyone loves Frank TV: Christians, Hindus, Muslims, Jews ... our admiration for the voice stylings of Frank Caliendo is the only thing on which we can all agree.* Two notable exceptions, however, are John Madden and Charles Barkley, who do not take kindly to Caliendo using their likenesses in those Dish Network TV ads. Michael Buffer: "Let's get ready to lit-i-gaaaaaaate!"! More »

You Control Everything This Man Does
So here's a sad little story: The guy who serves as the model for motion capture on Madden, Kenny Bell, really wants to be a real life NFL player. He might look like a player, but he isn't, not really. But he wants to be. More »

In case you were wondering why no one in your office is, you know, around today, it's because Madden 08 was released last night. Because we are afraid to leave our apartment, we order from Amazon, so we won't see the games for a couple more days. But if you aren't waiting that long, it's a big deay. More »

Ikea Loveseats Are Bulky And Difficult To Move
I was perusing Sports by Brooks late last night, as is my wont, and came across this item: "The NEW YORK TIMES reports EA Sports will provide new President Peter Moore with "relocation-related expenses" from Redmond, Washington, to Redwood City, California. The move will cost the company $330,000. Moore, a former Microsoft executive, also received a $1.5M signing bonus from the company." Ha! I once made that exact relocation — Redmond to Redwood City — for about a hundred bucks. Of course, I didn't have nearly as many leather-bound books. More »

LT Says "No Thank You" To Madden
So, you know how Vince Young is on the cover of Madden 08, and how Chargers fans breathed deep sighs of relief? Well, according to Darren Rovell at CNBC, LaDainian Tomlinson was supposed to be the cover boy but turned it down. More »

Begin Preparing For The Vince Young Injury
ESPN Video Games had him at 12-1 odds, but Nashville City Paper is reporting that Vince Young will be on the cover of Madden 2008. This is awful news for Titans fans, of course, who have had enough experience with the Madden Curse — Eddie George was Patient Zero of this little game — to be awfully wary. More »

Save LT Before It's Too Late
It won't be long now until they announce who will grace the cover of Madden 2008 — ESPN's quixotic video games section handicaps the contenders here — and as everybody knows, it has pretty much meant doom for whomever is graced with the honor. Marshall Faulk, Daunte Culpepper, Eddie George, Ron Mexico ... the cover has meant nothing but pain. More »

Devin Hester Is Virtually Fast
If you're like us — and Lord help you if you are — much of the summer is spent counting down the days until the new version of Madden is released. (This year, the Buzzsaw is gonna be good! Leinart to Boldin ... Buzzsaw!) Even though the NFL Draft still hasn't happened, they've already released some player ratings, and it turns out that Bears return man Devin Hester notched the first-ever 100 rating for speed. He's pretty happy about it. More »

'Dallas Clark Is Awesome. Seriously. (Please Don't Hurt Us)'
The folks over at Rooster Teeth.com are small-boned, practical folk. So when they angered large, muscular Indianapolis Colts tight end Dallas Clark recently with a rather unflattering portrayal of him on a video game commercial, they quickly scrambled to make amends. They drafted a letter of apology, and even created a "director's cut" version of the offending video which casts Clark in a better light (see above). More »

Ethan Albright Is In Fact Able To Walk Upright
As Madden 07 obsessives know, Washington Redskins lineman and ginger kid Ethan Albright is the lowest-rated player in the game, with a rating that barely gives him enough aptitude to stand up and walk in something resembling a straight line. We have wondered if Albright knows about this, or cares, and even though we don't have an answer to that, The Phat Phree has a hilarious imaginary letter from Albright to John Madden himself. More »
