John Madden Announces 2008 Cover Athlete

April 17, 2007 in Podcast comments 5

John Madden officially announces that Vince Young will be the cover athlete for Madden NFL 2008.

You've heard the rumors and read the betting odds (IGN called LT even and Vince Young 3-2 favorites), but nothing was made official until John Madden's radio show on KCBS when the man behind the biggest sports franchise in gaming officially named Titans QB Vince Young as the Madden NFL 08 cover athlete.

"Vince Young is going to be on the cover…why, is that not out yet…did I just let something out of the bag?" Madden said on his show this morning as the hosts asked him about the rumors.

Madden was also asked about the cover curse saying that he's never heard from a player on the cover complaining about the curse, adding: "We had one version where I was on the cover, so I was thinking if you admit there is something to it, then it's going to get you if you're on the cover, so I had to pooh-pooh it."

    Fantastic! I remember when he won the Rose Bowl for us a little while ago. Vince Young is perfect for the cover, and I am glad he was picked. =)

      You're forgetting about the curse of being on the cover, Sakura. You might want to read this article for more information.

        Well that sucks, but it's not like I am a huge fan of him anymore anyways. I was just happy he won the Rose Bowl for us. Hopefully he won't get injured though. =/
