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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Newegg is having a huge Spring Cleaning Sale.

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.
Who cares.
Why does it matter if he's a "white" running back? Why didn't the article just say running back?
Because reverse racism FTW.
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
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.
