		<description><![CDATA[&quot;The facts are when Aaron Rodgers and the Packers have no expectations they excel, when they are picked to win, they struggle as proven by this voting.&quot;

so the preseason superbowl champs (who went on to win the superbowl!) struggle when there&#039;s expectations?

and what&#039;s with everyone dissing on packer fans? (over a madden cover vote)
you had superstitious packer fans/bunch of browns fans/fantasyfootballnerds  vs the other packer fans who wanted aaron on the cover/vikingsbearslions fans who wanted him cursed.....Falcon Fans voted against Matty Ice, Lions fans even had a couple &quot;vote against suh&quot; articles when it was RodgersVSsuh]]></description>

As a Packer fan I voted for Hillis and everyone else that was against him and I don’t usually vote for these stupid things but the curse is real. At least I wasn’t going to chance it. Way to go Hillis.
=================================
Oh please, the curse is real? Tell that to Drew Brees, who was on last year’s cover. Made it through the whole season injury free and back into the playoffs.

Contrast that to Rodgers, who suffered two concussions and missed one game.

Curse my ass. You idiot Packer fans who voted for Hillis because of some BS curse should be embarrassed. Rodgers was, hands down, the most deserving of the bunch. He should have gotten it.

============================

Who had the better year?  I will take a Super Bowl victory over being one and done in the playoffs. Brees threw twice as many INTs as he did the year before.  Keep calling names though because it makes you look real smart.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Mini fans yapping at Green Bay because we &quot;lost&quot; the Madden cover. Hilarious... and really sad. I hope the rest of the NFL fanbase now understands what we have to put up with on a constant basis from those tools. If it&#039;s cloudy in Wisconsin and partly sunny in Minnesota they&#039;ll crow about it. Can&#039;t imagine what would happen if their team ever won the Super Bowl, but God willing we&#039;ll never have to know.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[C&#039;mon, I seriously. I admit I really like his physical running style, but a promotion to Madden Cover after 1 good season doesn&#039;t make sense. 

Madden Cover is supposed to be for guys who&#039;ve made multiple probowls and are league icons. 

If he wins , other players are going to be jealous and will try to take him out.]]></description>

I hope Hillis wins.  It will be the first and only win for Cleveland this decade.  It might just put us on the map!  Heck...it could be the start of many great things.  Tribe winning the pennant. Cav fans getting a cha-lu-pa. And...dare I say it...a Browns superbowl?  

Does anyone else see the irony that it&#039;s Vick versus the Dawg Pound once again?]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I would think one would have to be pretty stupid to be a cleveland steamer fan, but I truly am amazed how stupid they are.

Yeah, every day us Packer fans wake up and only dream we had willy Hillis on our team.  I curse you Ted Thompson for not trading for Willis!  I mean, Hillis! 

Just sit back steamer fans and think about this, a trade for Aaron Rodgers involving Hillis.  What would the steamers have to put up to make it happen?  Let&#039;s see, Hillis, Joe Thomas, Holmgren, your stadium, Lake Erie, your next decades draft choices, and the bone of Art Modell.

So celebrate the victory, but don&#039;t go getting all stupid about the greatness of Willis.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It&#039;s funny how Packer fans claim to be clever by voting against Rodgers to protect him from teh curse.  If this is so true, then how did Rodgers even get out of the first round?

I think this is hilarious since EA Sports clearly wanted Aaron Rodgers on the cover giving him the easiest draw possible and he blew it.  The facts are when Aaron Rodgers and the Packers have no expectations they excel, when they are picked to win, they struggle as proven by this voting.]]></description>

As a Packer fan I voted for Hillis and everyone else that was against him and I don’t usually vote for these stupid things but the curse is real. At least I wasn’t going to chance it. Way to go Hillis.
=================================
Oh please, the curse is real? Tell that to Drew Brees, who was on last year&#039;s cover. Made it through the whole season injury free and back into the playoffs.

Contrast that to Rodgers, who suffered two concussions and missed one game. 

Curse my ass. You idiot Packer fans who voted for Hillis because of some BS curse should be embarrassed. Rodgers was, hands down, the most deserving of the bunch. He should have gotten it.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Packers fans should be embarrassed for not voting for Rodgers. This whole idea of a curse is absolutely ridiculous, and it&#039;s embarrassing to think the cover of one of the most popular video games ever is limited to the running back of a team who hasn&#039;t had a winning record in quite a few years and a convicted felon who tortured animals. 

If Vick makes the cover, I will not be buying the game.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I think the thing is rigged, I was informed that it was...wait for it...Hillis and Vick promoting the voting before it started.

I find it really hard to believe that the 2 promoting it initially end up being the 2 left.  Likewise, that anyone even came close to beating out Rodgers, who should have easily won out.

I will continue to not vote, I won&#039;t be buying the game anyway, it&#039;s shifted away from the Madden I loved playing and got too &quot;everybody friendly&quot;.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Trickbunny, 
maybe you are just dumb because it couldnt be possible that a packer fan actually voted against Rogers. I voted against other Packers as well in other polls since just because they won the SB doesnt mean they have the best player at every postion.  
I voted for Hillis as ridiculous as it sounds but Madden has too good of a track record for the cover curse and predicting the superbowl. 
But curse or not I love my dog so Go Hillis

LOLing at all the Packers fans who are pretending that they voted for Hillis to avoid “the curse.”

“Curse” or not, anyone who tries to claim they didn’t want the player who represents their team to be on the cover of one of the most high profile and popular video games ever is flat out lying and eating sour grapes. Fact.]]></description>
