  • HIB,

    I guess we're different katz.........bought a new 42 inch tv 2 months ago.......haven't watched 3 hrs this week. Spend most of my time working, volunteering, rubbing shoulders and socially drinking with people that have more pull than I could dream of, hoping it rubs off. Can't imagine the reward of honing my madden skills. 3 years ago I got a honorary key to the city for volunteer work, looks like a gold card that gets me free shit here and there. More importantly it got me many opportunities I never would of had playing video games as an adult. Pull that card out during a job interview and see how their interest and conversation change. I'm not really a nice guy, but I put in the work. You people don't know what your missing. But its your life and you can do what you want so I will shut up now and go do something productive to fill my offseason time. Good luck to Hillis if he even gives a damn.

  • Wow a lot of self-important a@@holes that are apparently "Browns" Fans. What does this have to do with playing video games and keys to cities? Last time I checked this was supposed to be about a Browns player getting national recognition outside of the slums of Cleveland. Who cares if you're 12 or 82, who here is such a perfect person that they can judge another human being? Oh wait, according to the Bible its a sin to judge another human being... Such a shame that something so positive brings out such negative things in people. I'm 40 years old not married with no kids (besides a cat and a dog) and I play video games quite a bit. Fire away, but i'll tell you this much, I could care less what anyone else thinks because no one has walked in my shoes and vice versa. I am who I am and the root of it is even against better judgement I still support this team through thick and thin. I vowed to never buy a Madden again, but if Hillis makes the cover i'll be first in line and will never sell or trade this copy in. This may be the ONLY opportunity we will see of a Cleveland sports player on the cover of anything major and mainstream.

If they stay there, they'll get plenty of attention)

    Unless they keep losing games with the bases loaded, one down, and the batter just watches 3 strikes go by. I'm not even an Indian's fan and that pissed me off last night.

    man nobody was talking about supporting this team or supporting hillis. it was a couple of people (including me) that have a difference of opinion with what to do with your free time.........that's all. personally i'd rather be out hob-knobbin and checkin out the ladies than 'plugged in' and stationed in front of a tv for hours. that's just me though. i get the video game thing and like i said before if i was any good at playing them i'd probably be broke.

    yes, sometimes the back chat here will turn a little ugly but i believe it's all in good fun (unless you're a steeler's troll). what, never busted chops with friends before???

  • Yeah, some people here are really catching feelings quick.

    Just vote for Hillis, cheer for him, and move on.

  • does anybody know the results of the voting right now? it's killing me. I need to see the Ragin Caucasian on the cover of Madden!

  • I second that. I'd love to hear that a) Hillisis destroying Vick or 😎 we're losing, but it's very very close.

  • If they give an update, you'll see it on ESPN.

    april 27 is when they announce it so i'm assuming the 26th or sometime early on the 27th.

  • Maybe, maybe not. I won't believe it until they say "On the cover of Madden 12 is Peyton Hillis."

  • Get those last minute votes in for The Beast!! Decesion to be announced Wednesday. Don't let the dog killer win!

  • This could very well be EA sport's worst nightmare. A cover finals composed of a dog killer and a relative no-name.

    But on that note, go Hillis!

  • Just a note: You can use firefox private browsing or chromes equivalent to vote more than once per machine.

    You just have to close and re-open the browser for it to work again (that is what did it for me).

    I don't think that Hillis is a no name. He got a lot of attention last year. He became Mike Golic's favorite player.

  • Hence 'relative'. Let's be honest, EA would have preferred Adrian Peterson vs. Aaron Rodgers.

    I'm just glad our fanbase (and PETA) are voting against Vick.

  • Who gives a rats ass who is on the cover of a video game? What are you, 12 year olds?

    I agree....this seems too important to some.

    Plus.....isn't the cover some sort of jinx??

  • I think the Browns fans have shown there passion by geting Payton this far. I could care less about a video game myself, but I think this probably do's say something about the fans.
