    Madden 09 Cover Athlete: Brett Favre

    According to Pasta Padre and GameDaily, Brett Favre is the cover athlete for Madden NFL 09. Favre will be on David Letterman tonight, to announce.

    "He may be retired but Brett Favre is the cover athlete for Madden NFL 09. This is the first time a non-active player has been selected for the cover. The news comes out of an appearance on the David Letterman show tonight (which tapes earlier in the day) and has been confirmed by GameDaily. There is also a show on the NFL Network scheduled for Saturday at 10am ET that will showcase the history of Brett Favre and the Madden franchise. The official press release is expected Friday morning."

        I hope not although he would've been perfect for the cover last year.

          At least this year's cover guy won't get injured, unless Brett hurts himself working on his farm.

                    Huh??? I find that totally baffling. The Madden cover usually ties into the new big feature of the game in some way. What is the new feature this year?? Retirement mode?? Ability to throw into triple coverage for INTs?

                    How does having a player that doesn’t do a lot of press, doesn’t go to parties, doesn’t play video games, and ISN’T CURRENTLY PLAYING IN THE NFL help promote your game in anyway?

                    Why not just slap Madden on the cover for the 20th edition? That makes 100x more sense than this.

                    EA is more clueless than ever. Sounds to me like they signed a deal with Farve already and then he retired and they are too lazy or unable to back out of it.

                      Can't think of a better way to fix slumping sales then to pick one of the most popular athletes of all time. Surprised Favre agreed to it though. Too bad, I wasn't going to get madden this year but now i have too. Love the choice.

                            I like the idea of going with an unconventional choice, just not sure that Farve was the right person to pick. Seems like it would've been more appropriate to have Madden himself on the cover; perhaps speak more to getting away from EA's trend for going with the hot athlete at the time. Doesn't make a huge difference one way or the other I guess
                            HBO's "The Wire" should rank as one of the top 10 shows EVER on tv - period

                            XBL gamertag: d0meBreaker22 (that's a zero)

                              What does that matter??? What other NFL football game would Mom or whoever purchase?

                              Almost everyone has heard of Madden in the wame context. He has been around longer in football and on TV than Favre.
