LT Says "No Thank You" To Madden

Trackback — Thu, 19 Apr 2007 05:30:10 EDT

Hornets 86, Clippers 83 - Sports fans talk about "meaningless games" towards the end of the regular season. Those are contests held after a team is already in or out of the playoffs and seeding isn't a major issue. It's a common indicator of an exciting team in baseball.

Tom Brady was selected to be on the cover but pulled out at the last minute.

@Hit Bull Win Steak: Pretty sure that Madden sells more than both Halo and GTA -- the only game to sell more than it recently is The Sims.

@apostles03:

Pat Summerall tried to say "No, thank you" to Madden, but that didn't stop him.

Maybe they could put Al Davis on the cover? So that he'd die?

Why Not Jon Lovitz? — Wed, 18 Apr 2007 14:16:16 EDT

LT called EA Sports offer "classless and offensive," then proceeded to blame their president.

Chris Henry thought it was a petty crime that he wasn't considered for the cover.

Tom Brady turned down the cover of Madden 08 since he;'s already going to be on the cover of the new EA game coming out called "Baby Daddy 08"

Joey Porter was crazy about the idea of being on the cover.

I suppose should the Chargers win the Super Bowl (c) then LT won't be going to Disney either.

What exactly does one have to "do" to be on the cover of Madden? Seems like all they need is a picture of you playing football, which in most cases shouldn't be too hard to come by.

Ray Lewis would kill to appear on the cover again.

I believe this will reverse the curse.

The video game gods know it was supposed to be LT. Therefore, LT will still get hurt and Vince Young will tear up the league.

Now, anyone who turns down an EA Madden cover will be cursed while the sloppy seconds back-up choice will reign supreme.

A couple more hundred grand, and LT would have been willing to send his career off the rails. Use the evil power that you have because you have it, Electronic Arts! Don't be so stingy!
