Peyton Hillis beats Michael Vick for the EA Madden 12 cover

Today on ESPN's "Sportsnation", it was announced that Cleveland Browns RB Peyton Hillis had 66% of the votes as Michael Vick had 34% of the votes in the "Race to Grace" for gracing their presence on the cover of EA's Madden 12 football video game. Not to be a "Debby Downer" but the last time a running back graced the cover of a Madden game was in 2007 and it was Shaun Alexander and we all know how his career turned out after his picture appeared on the boxes. Let's hope Peyton does not fall victim to the ever dreadful "Madden Curse".

LET IT BE KNOWN ON THIS VERY DAY I WILL GO OUT ON A LIMB AND SAY THAT THIS YEAR THE MADDEN CURSE WILL BE REVERSED BECAUSE PEYTON HILLIS WILL BREAK THE TREND AND BECOME THE FIRST BROWNS PLAYER TO BE NAMED AN NFL MVP, ATTEND THE 2011-12 SUPER BOWL (as a fan-LOL), NOT BE BUSTED FOR HGH OR WEED OR FEMALE FERTILITY DRUGS, AND ACTUALLY ENJOY BEING A CLEVELAND BROWNS FOOTBALL PLAYER.

You've been served!

THE BEST DAMN MADDEN FANTASY FOOTBALL TEAM that stunk in the NFL.

THE BEST DAMN MADDEN FANTASY FOOTBALL TEAM that stunk in the NFL.

Now that the 2010 NFL season has been completed I find myself already dealing with some minor "football withdraw" symptoms. The outlook for the 2011 season is up in the air as the owners and players try to come to terms of the business side of the game. So I've decided to give in to my football cravings and that I was going to create the "BEST DAMN MADDEN FANTASY FOOTBALL TEAM that stunk in the NFL". So I have created a list of two teams for Madden 2010 and I will be inputting the individual players ratings/points based upon their first year in the NFL stats. I may also consider using their last year of college stats as the basis for their current player ratings. Here is the listing for team A:
