Scoop: Brett Favre to Cover Madden NFL 09

22
While speculation might suggest Eli Manning or Adrian Peterson, EA has gone with longtime Packers star Brett Favre. The announcement is expected tonight on Letterman.

According to the Facebook site for Madden NFL 09, the cover athlete is expected to be announced on April 25. Moreover, a quick check of the CBS schedule for Late Show with David Letterman shows that Favre is going to appear as one of Dave's guests tonight (April 24). For the past few years, EA has used late-night shows to announce the Madden cover. Last year Jimmy Kimmel's show was used to announce Tennessee Titans quarterback Vince Young for Madden 08.

As much as i respect brett favre, i think it should have gone to someone else. Despite eli mannings lack luster beginnings, i think he deserved it more than favre. Not to mention the fact that favre is old and he needs to GTFO

"Not to mention the fact that favre is old and he needs to GTFO...."

sonarus I've seen you light up the boards with comments for months. Some interesting; some mundane, but not one as twisted & poorly construed as this.

You respect Brett Favre, yet you don't even bother to capitalize his name? OK! 8D

And you think he's too old and needs to get out? Err umm, were you awake during the playoffs last year?.... Where he (and the team) were only a field goal kick in overtime away from going to the Super Bowl last year? Seriously, wtf are you talking about? =0

You clearly have no idea what you're talking about with all due respect. Brett Favre can play as long as he still has the will and the health -- and he's got both last time I checked. Then again I'm a lover of the game, not a passionless passer by.

I'm not going to lie i'm an indianapolis colts fanboy. I hate all the good teams. I recognize favre has done his share for football and all that but what pissed me off was the touchdown record he broke. He had to stay for how many extra yrs for that. Because of that mostly i don't like him and almost doesn't cut it. If they had gone to the super bowl fvkin patriots would have devoured them giants deserved to go

Totally agree that the Giants derserved to go. The only thing that would have pissed me off would have been if the Giants had lost. As a Colts fan you should know Manning is going to break many of those records anyway. I'm a Packer fan first and a colts fan second. Manning carries himself almost like a Farve in the regard that He doesn't talk sh*t and doesn't blame his team when things don't go his way. You have to respect that.

Sonarus- Have you looked at the Pats schedule, total BullSh*t.

Farve was a field goal kick away from the SB? Which game were you watching? The Farve and the Packs spent the entire game trying to lose and his late game INT was classic Brett Farve. I agree with Sonarus, Brett Farve need to go away for good. Yet despite being retired he's still on the cover...WTF?

i hope he gets the cover of it. i think he deserves it more than any other quarterback that comes to mind. last years season with the Packers was phenomenal. i mean, c'mon...look at how old that fvcker is and how well he moved around out there on the field. all the records he broke and made. at the end of his career he was still doing really good. sucks he retired. i hope the Packers new quarterback gets injured and their back-up sucks. rumor has it Favre will come out of retirement if this happens. here's to hoping!

I just have a problem with him staying late just to break records. He should have done it when he was younger like everyone else. If peyton manning plays till favre's age, i doubt anyone will ever beat his records
