    Absolutely! VY can do anything!

    Also, I imagine that he will the best choice QB on Madden. This will be similar to the Michael Vick Madden unfairness in that previous version. You know where you pick Vick and just scramble all day til someone is open and nobody can tackle you cause you are too fast.

    The Madden Cover Curse (i.e. evil) and VY (i.e. good) are such polar opposites, putting them together would tear apart the very fabric of the universe.

    VY will bring peace to the world.
    like when you play Madden and you pick Vince you hit that turbo button and "PEACE" out the defender.

    it's amazing to read reactions to this from different boards. here, b/c it's a lot of UT folks and Houstonians, think he's black jesus and deserves to be on the cover.

    on other boards, where the demographic consists of people all around the country, the reaction is, "WTF? What did he do to deserve to be on the cover. Talk about a hype machine."

    Vince Young is Cursed
    John Madden officially announces Young as 08 cover athlete.
    by Jon Robinson

    April 17, 2007 - You've heard the rumors and read the betting odds (IGN called LT even and Vince Young 3-2 favorites), but nothing was made official until John Madden's radio show on KCBS when the man behind the biggest sports franchise in gaming officially named Titans QB Vince Young as the Madden NFL 08 cover athlete.

    "Vince Young is going to be on the cover…why, is that not out yet…did I just let something out of the bag?" Madden said on his show this morning as the hosts asked him about the rumors.

    Madden was also asked about the cover curse saying that he's never heard from a player on the cover complaining about the curse, adding: "We had one version where I was on the cover, so I was thinking if you admit there is something to it, then it's going to get you if you're on the cover, so I had to poh-poh it."

    To listen to Madden's podcast from this morning, check the KCBS site.

    You can also watch Vince Young on the Jimmy Kimmel Live! show tonight as he talks about how he will overcome the cover curse.

    Vince Young will be the greatest video game football player since Techmo Bowl's Randall Cunningham and Bo Jackson
