Green Bay had the best team overall rating in the game. They wanted the cover athlete to be an offensive starter from the best team. That narrowed it down to Brett Favre, Antonio Freeman and Dorsey Levens. For whatever reason they landed on Levens. Favre and Freeman may have turned down the offer, who knows? Anyway, that's my best guess why Levens was on there after a poor season. |

Calvin Johnson vs. Cam Newton for Madden cover
dammit! I wanted Aaron Rodgers on it ... imagine Aaron Rodgers with that chip on his shoulder to prove the curse wrong? Plus, I wanted to buy a copy of Madden with him on it. Maybe next year after another MVP season and Super Bowl MVP |

As I said from the start of it all Cam Newton will be on it, he has the flare and personality to be on the cover. Sorry to say but people put Rodgers in the Brady and Manning class which means they lose popularity because they are hated by other teams fans. |
 Just Imagine this for the next 6-9 years. What a ride it will be :) |

Surely it couldn't have been a plethora of Packers fans voting for Calvin Johnson ... nah ... it has to be the notion that folks put Aaron Rodgers with Tom Brady and Peyton Manning and everyone hates them, thus, Aaron Rodgers received less votes. As I said from the start of it all ... |

My man Donald Driver  (thanks to Pack93z for the pic) 2010 will be seen as the beginning of the new Packers dynasty.   |
