Every late winter, early spring, there is always talk about who will be on the cover of the new Madden NFL video game. This year is no different. Many different rumors have been flying. Among those rumored to be on the cover are C. Johnson, L. Tomlinson, and P. Manning. But now the world finally knows and can stop guessing. The face on the new Madden will be the face of Titan's quarterback, Vince Young.
As the article says, "Young joins former Madden cover athletes Daunte Culpepper, Michael Vick, and Donovan McNabb in a collection of quarterbacks that combine a good arm with serious running ability." These type of quarterbacks are "new breeds". A new breed quarterback not only can throw the ball down the field, but can scramble down the field with the best of them.
This new breed of quarterbacks are slowly starting to take over the NFL. Some view this as good, and some view this bad. I guess it depends on what type of offense you like (or how good your Offensive Line is).
But anyways, back to the Madden 08 cover. Young claims he is not afraid of the madden curse but looks forward to the challenge of proving it a myth. In the past, those who appear on the Madden cover have...to put it lightly....down years. A year plagued with struggles and/or injury. Is this really a curse or is it more a coincidence? Again, I suppose it just depends on how superstitious you are. I tend to lean towards coincidence but that's just me.
So, whoever is on the Madden 08 cover will have a bad year, eh? Oh the places I could go with this. Any of you photoshop experts out have lots of free time? Try this: put Hillary Clinton on the cover of Madden 2008. Maybe she'll have a bad year. (**Disclaimer: No, it's not an anti female thing or an anti democrat thing, it's just and anti Clinton family thing. For the record, there is a lot of genius in what the Clinton family has done and is doing for america. I just think they are slimeballs ethically**)If she is on the cover maybe she'll post some "bad stats".
What about Dwignt K. Schrute from the NBC show, The Office? I'm sure he'd love to be on the Madden 08 cover. He may actually have to miss work because of injury. Probably wouldn't be salesman of the year, that's for sure.
One more...what about Dr. Burks, President of Harding University? What would happen to HU if he were on the Madden cover? Would we be financially unable to put up another new building? Would they have to settle for a homecoming musical budget of a jar of peanuts and a cardboard box? What would it be like? Interesting...
I'll contact the head honchos at EA Sports to see if it is too late take Vince off. Any other suggestions on who to put on the cover? Hmm...i think this could go places.
If you can't tell, there's not much to write about. Braves are doing Okay, 9-4 as of right now and today we face our first non NL East opponent, the Chicago Cubs. Work is good, we only have a few Nooma videos left to show the Teens, then we'll start studying the Letters of Paul. Jenny and I are headed out of town this weekend, just to get away.
Peace!

For what it's worth, I was reading earlier that Hillary's approval ratings are at 45%, with disapproval ratings at 52%. Her Democratic primary opponents Obama and Edwards are both over 50% approval with under 30% disapproval. Money talks, but I'm not sure that even the wad of cash she's sitting on can win her the nomination.
Wow, I wasn't aware that her disapproval was that high. You're right, she might as well save her time cuz she won't be the Demo Nominee at that rate.
Speaking of the Clinton family...did you know Gov. Mike Huckabee is from Hope, Arkansas? There goes his chances.
