Raise your hand if you think EA rigged the final Madden 12 vote

SarcasticGamer - So, a white running back, from a crappy team, is your new Madden poster child? What issue of the Onion is this headline from? Reality check: Peyton Hillis is your new Madden coverboy. Hillis beat out Vick for the final slot. Who else thinks that the vote was rigged? Conspiracy theory time.

Rigged? Are you kidding me? Hillis is a bad ass plain and simple. I was so pissed when mcdaniels traded him from the Broncos for peanuts. Also newsflash jackass, a lot of people vote for the guy they most want to see get injured. duh.

BloodyNapkin4767d ago

"So, a white running back", what you mean to say is a great running back on a crappy team along with being a model citizen. Unlike some other quaterback we know.

miDnIghtEr4767d ago

Why does it matter if he's a "white" running back? Why didn't the article just say running back?

Because reverse racism FTW.

BX814767d ago (Edited 4767d ago )

Duh! Everyone knows white people can't run the ball and black people can't QB. Geez where have you been?

miDnIghtEr4767d ago

Dude, it's 2011! The best golfer is black, the best rapper is white! Ire and brimstone coming down from the skies! Rivers and seas boiling!
Forty years of darkness! Earthquakes, volcanoes...
The dead rising from the grave! Human sacrifice, dogs and cats living together... mass hysteria!

Pillville4767d ago

"The best golfer is black, the best rapper is white!"

It's not 2003 anymore.

BX814767d ago

@miDnIghtEr LOL! I like the ref. to Ghostbusters! I was going to read this article but as soon as I saw that the writer made a point to put he was a white running back I changed my mind.

thugbob4767d ago

"the best rapper is white"

Ummmm no. If you know anything about hip-hop you'd know that the best rapper is black. And he is Lupe Fiasco, the lyrical genius.

everyone thinks it has something to do with race when people say that they hate Vick.

I hate him because hes a dumb azz criminal who threw away his position as starting QB and LEADER of a team for something so lame as dog fighting.

I dont like any of the criminals that are allowed to play in the nfl, and I am grateful that my favorite team doesnt tolerate any BS from its players, especially not if they commit crimes and go to prison.

Tony-Red-Grave4767d ago

wtf are you on? i might like a piece of this.

vick IS a great player on the field, thats pretty damn important, and hes done his time and been good off the field, albeit maybe not then but now he is, he deserved to be on the madden cover for his accomplishments on and off the feild since he got out.

Emilio_Estevez4767d ago

They may have, but it was the right choice if they did. Vick on the cover is a PR nightmare and this guy tots deserves it

Solidus187-SCMilk4767d ago

not because I love dogs and hate Vick, but because I hate all the criminals that the NFL allows to come back.

Not just Vick, there are others too taht should never be allowed to play in the NFL again.

If you or I committed some of these crimes we would have a very hard time even getting a job at the local grocerey store.

I just think Vick made an unforgivable stupid decision. Throw away your position as the starting QB and leader of a team to fight dogs? sounds like a moron to me.

my favorite team is the patriots and I know Tom brady is by far the best QB in the NFL. I would not be happy, but I would not want him on the team if he was committing crimes in the off season. Why? because that would show that he was terribly stupid and selfish and that he isnt committed to the fans, his teammates, or winning.

Vick is a good player, but there are plenty of people like me who think the NFL should not take back serious criminals whatever their race, crime, or previous level of success. And then of course there are people who love dogs. Ohhh, and vick has already been on the cover once and Peyton hillis is a great player.

Urrakia344767d ago

Peyton Manning and Drew Brees are better than Tom Bieber.....I mean Brady.

jetlian4767d ago

only in america! Killing people ok killing dogs oh heavens NO. I think retards shouldn't be allowed on n4g.

Hate all you want Most jobs will pay if the person is worth it.

Solidus187-SCMilk4767d ago

when did I say killin people is OK? When did I say killing dogs was on the same level or even the reason I dont like Vick? NEVER

I dont think any criminals of any kind should be allowed in the NFL.

Ohh, and fighting and executing dogs is a crime in this country. NFL players should not be above the law, thats all im saying.

darx4767d ago

@jetlian You care about the human race that much? I sure don't!

jetlian4767d ago

i'm not retarded. first of all l never said "you" I said only in AMERICA.

secondly why shouldn't they be allowed in the nfl? who the hell are you? Its one thing if the crime was related to the profession!

if he was with animal control I could see your point.

How was he above the law? And what makes a law so important?

Inside EA Sports, Why Madden Must Be Called 'American Football'

Kotaku - Once upon a time there wasn't much of a dispute over the word "football." Over here, it meant cheerleaders, instant replay, and concussions. Over there, it meant relegation, riots, and flopping. Then came the Internet, and commenters stomping around in one another's mud puddles.

Is EA Truly The Worst Company In America Or Just A Victim Of Fanboy Rage?

The votes are in and the people have spoken, Electronic Arts has officially won the most coveted of all awards and become the Worst Company in America for 2012. This is no small feat considering that past winners have included BP, who showed a disgusting lack of remorse for causing one of the worst environmental disasters in history, and Comcast, a perennial runner up and a company that I have a personal distaste for and am forced to work with because they are the only internet provider in my area. Is EA truly deserving of this title or this just a product of stories and conjecture tainting consumer perception?

just fanboy rage, i'm sure. ea should just be lucky to have the talents of dice and bioware under their belt.

Laxman4408d ago

Definately just fanboy rage. They publish and bring us gamers some of the best, more innovative and original games we can hope to play. There is no way they are even close to being the worst company in the world.

ardivt4407d ago

There are banks and huge companies destroying peoples lives and people claim a gaming publisher is the worst comapny in America? Raging gamers really are fun.
