ESPN - Hillis was announced Wednesday as the winner of the fan vote, under way since March 21, on
"SportsNation" on ESPN2. In all, almost 13 million votes were cast -- including more than 1 million in the final.
The 10th-seeded Hillis overwhelmingly defeated Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Michael Vick,
seeded third, garnering 66 percent of the vote in the final of the
32-player bracket to become the cover of this year'’s version of the
popular NFL video game franchise. This is the first year fans were
allowed to vote for the game's cover.
Damn right Peyton. When's the last time a white boy was on the Madden cover that wasn't a QB? Doubt that has ever happened. You gotta respect a white boy running back more than anything else in sports.
Don't get me wrong I wasn't a Vick hater by any means, but he has already been on the cover before and Peyton Hillis was the break-out player of the year in my opinion. Hopefully the great white hope doesn't get the madden curse and get hurt this year.
