Happy for him, good to know We are finally being put on the map.

I'm gonna hate playing as the Lions in Madden now probably with the amount of people who will be using them. >_>

It's been a nice career. :(

The Lions join the Titans as the only teams to have had a player on more than 1 cover..if you count Barry Sanders in the background of the 2000 cover.

lolMadden Curse.

I voted for Megatron myself, tbh. Nothing taken away from Cam, but Megatron had the best season of any WR in the league.

He's a dynamic player so it's nice that he's been recognized and will be able to be on the cover of Madden. I don't believe in the Madden Curse it's just a big coincidence lol.

Megatron is a guy that I really feel like everyone can and does root for. That's why this deal SUCKS. I really hope he isn't crashed with the Madden Curse. Larry Fitzgerald is the ONLY player to ever survive the cover curse. And that's because he shared it with TroyPol who was burdened with injuries.

Vince Young was fine, Drew Brees was fine, Eddie George was fine, and Barry Sanders retired before the season, nothing to do with the curse.

Fitz is far from the only player to survive "it." It's a coincidence.

Vince Young was fine? :troll:

And Ray Lewis survived it too actually. He got injured the season after which shouldn't count...

Vince Young lost is job the following season and is now looked upon as a mental patient.

Drew Brees played hurt all season long and got pimp slapped by the fucking Seahawks of all teams in the playoffs.

George had one good season (the year he was on the cover) and was never the same again. Never average more than 3.5 YPC again.

And again.. I don't even count Barry as being on the cover... Madden was still the cover man in 2000.

I dont buy into the curse anymore. He'll be fine, the Lions have had enough curses for their franchise timeline.

If you're going to say, "Well at some point after they're on the Madden Cover, the player is going to get hurt or have his skills fall off," then no d'oh?

There are people who have avoided the "curse." Brees didn't get pimp-slapped at all, the Saints defense did. So the curse now applies to the entire football team?

This is all coincidence. I can't believe I'm actually arguing this, lol. The NFL is a physical sport. The players are coming off a fantastic season, some regression is to be expected, not to mention offensive players are probably going to be targeted more due to their great season. There is no curse because of who is on the cover of a video game.

RANGA+  : (19 June 2013 - 12:13 AM) makes me wanna puke
BLUE  : (19 June 2013 - 12:13 AM) You can always drop him if it worries you. :D
Favre4Ever+  : (19 June 2013 - 12:13 AM) I want to see the Heat trade away Wade and Bosh :laugh:
Favre4Ever+  : (19 June 2013 - 12:13 AM) Ehh, I will suffer. Haha. Thanks for your concern though Blue
Favre4Ever+  : (19 June 2013 - 12:13 AM) ;)
BLUE  : (19 June 2013 - 12:14 AM) His walk rates weren't bad in the minors though, in all seriousness. He was just amped up and full of adrenaline for tonight.
BradyFan81  : (19 June 2013 - 12:14 AM) those fans don't deserve that teams
BradyFan81  : (19 June 2013 - 12:14 AM) how mad are Spurs fans right now though?
BLUE  : (19 June 2013 - 12:15 AM) And Harvey dominated in the first game. Best double-header ever. :yep:
Bay  : (19 June 2013 - 12:15 AM) There's still some good pitchers to be had ;)
BLUE  : (19 June 2013 - 12:15 AM) We're still miles away, but please be good Harvey and Wheeler.
Socal  : (19 June 2013 - 12:16 AM) Fuck Dale Thayer GDIAF
Favre4Ever+  : (19 June 2013 - 12:18 AM) I'd just think it would be awesome for the Heat to tell Wade to fuck off because they want to rebuild with Lebron. Ha
Favre4Ever+  : (19 June 2013 - 12:18 AM) Although, I dunno why Lebron would want to do that.
Favre4Ever+  : (19 June 2013 - 12:20 AM) Probably run back to Cleveland. Their core will be so epic...
JetsFan4Life  : (19 June 2013 - 12:24 AM) Yeah lebron won't be sticking around for any rebuilds anywhere.
BradyFan81  : (19 June 2013 - 12:27 AM) if the Heat win then I don't think they'll be changing anything for a while
Favre4Ever+  : (19 June 2013 - 12:28 AM) Big 3s contracts are up soon, though, aren't they?
Socal  : (19 June 2013 - 12:28 AM) Striking out on a foul tip to end the game, gayest shit ever
Favre4Ever+  : (19 June 2013 - 12:28 AM) Bosh is ass, and Wade is only good for a game a week with his knees
Socal  : (19 June 2013 - 12:29 AM) go kill yourself, Dale Thayer, ruining the Padres streak
Favre4Ever+  : (19 June 2013 - 12:29 AM) Lebron SHOULD be out no matter what
Favre4Ever+  : (19 June 2013 - 12:29 AM) If he was intelligent
BLUE  : (19 June 2013 - 12:32 AM) LeBron can opt out after next season, I think.
Sarge+  : (19 June 2013 - 12:33 AM) The worst part of the Spurs losing tonight is Duncan had himself a game... 30 points 17 rebounds at age 37. Who does that?
Sarge+  : (19 June 2013 - 12:34 AM) Feel bad for Timmy. :(
funnygunny  : (19 June 2013 - 12:34 AM) tim tebow?
funnygunny  : (19 June 2013 - 12:34 AM) or should i say, TOM TEBOW
Tridentdawgp...  : (19 June 2013 - 12:35 AM) Adam Kilgore ✔ @AdamKilgoreWP "Show up tomorrow ready to eat somebody's face." -- Jayson Werth on how he gets over losses.
Tridentdawgp...  : (19 June 2013 - 12:35 AM) Sure, Jayson. Why not?
RazorStar  : (19 June 2013 - 12:56 AM) Miller can only beat what is put in front of him and for the most part, he did that to an elite level. No pass-rusher is going to beat the offense on every single snap, but Miller is definitely a creator of his own production rather than a benefactor of teammates or offensive futility.
RazorStar  : (19 June 2013 - 12:57 AM) The most telling part of the above chart is Miller’s time to sack the quarterback. If you take out the two sacks when he caught the quarterback from a coverage assignment, the 3.29 number drops to 2.75 seconds per sack. That kind of speed from a position lined up next to the defensive line puts a huge amount of pressure on the quarterback to get rid of the football.
RazorStar  : (19 June 2013 - 12:57 AM) http://presnapreads....ason/#more-1155
RazorStar  : (19 June 2013 - 01:00 AM) Even if his sack numbers falter over the rest of his career, Miller isn’t a sack specialist from the point of view that that is his strength. I’m not sure Miller really has a strength. He does everything well and while that can be seen as a negative to some, he does everything so well that it makes him an elite defender and one of the very best young players in the league.
Favre4Ever+  : (19 June 2013 - 01:01 AM) How is doing everything well a negative?
Favre4Ever+  : (19 June 2013 - 01:01 AM) He sucks at nothing. Send him to Green Bay
RazorStar  : (19 June 2013 - 01:02 AM) Well Erik Walden is terrible at everything and he gets paid.
RazorStar  : (19 June 2013 - 01:02 AM) so being good at everything must be a bad thing
Favre4Ever+  : (19 June 2013 - 01:02 AM) lol
Favre4Ever+  : (19 June 2013 - 01:02 AM) Touche
RANGA+  : (19 June 2013 - 01:15 AM) I like what you said about Miller largely being responsible for his own production Raz
RANGA+  : (19 June 2013 - 01:15 AM) i think thats his strongest feature
RANGA+  : (19 June 2013 - 01:16 AM) you can stick him in any defensive scheme and hed get pressure in the backfield
Favre4Ever+  : (19 June 2013 - 01:26 AM) Dude, you could line him up at CB and he would shut down Megatron
RANGA+  : (19 June 2013 - 01:28 AM) well maybe not that far :p
RazorStar  : (19 June 2013 - 01:54 AM) You could line him up at Corner and he would sack megatron for a loss
Favre4Ever+  : (19 June 2013 - 02:01 AM) haha
RANGA+  : (19 June 2013 - 02:02 AM) lulz
RANGA+  : (19 June 2013 - 02:02 AM) im out dudes
