Brett Favre is the Madden 09 cover athlete
by 
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.
It is fitting that Favre will represent the 20th Anniversary of Madden. His long and storied career can be revisted in the same manner that EA Sports will be doing with the 20th anniversary of Madden.

last year…vince young leaked his coverboy status a few days early also…so with favre expected to be on letterman tonight…i dont think this was unexpected by EA…favre should be the cover athlete…let’s just hope that the madden jinks will cuz his retirement plans to go up in smoke…haha…

No one notices the online leagues?

New feature must be the ability to bluff your retirement every off season.

It’s too bad that such a legendary player is going to grace the cover of a game that will surely be terrible. If Madden 08 is any indication of what 09 will be…we’re all doomed.

This is a decent choice.

ehh i’ve seen that post a week or so ago, the question was actually asked by a member of my league. Still doesn’t say anything for sure though.

Well, it is the 20th Anniversary game, and who’s a better person to put on the cover than someone who has been in all but 2 Madden games.

HAHAHA. This is hilarious. EA puts “Moonwalking” Brett Favre on the cover. Glitchfest Playmaker is the new feature. The all new special dance glitch feature this year. Hahaha. They wont have hand towels, but will add glitter gloves, and highwater tights.

I was being sarcastic.
April 24, 2008 at 6:29 pm
I called this on themaddenlab forums, i said favre or taylor would be on the cover
April 24, 2008 at 7:18 pm
Great pick!
April 24, 2008 at 8:12 pm
Horrible decision. Why put someone that isn’t even in the game on the cover? Makes no sense. Should have been Tom Brady or Randy Moss. They did way more than Favre did last season. EA once again needs to step it up. WOW. Looks like I’m going to change my cover as soon as I get the game.

I hate the Packers. But, I respect Brett Favre. I loved watching him play, especially in that overtime game on MNF in Denver with the 60-yd TD pass for the win. I mean, if he was a Bear, I’d love him even more, but as long as he was in a Packer jersey, I couldn’t stand him, but I respected him. In all, good choice EA, I’m proud to have him on my box.

As a Rams fan for years… thats exactly how I felt about Joe Montana and Jerry Rice. Augh!!! The Niners beat the Rams 18 times in a row!!! Augh… I hate them guys!!! But damn are they good… and most importantly… up-standing citizens and role models. I wish more were like them these days.
Oh… and for what it’s worth… I wish Moss or Owens or Chad J. was on the cover this year, too. Maybe then the Madden Curse could get rid of those nutsacks.

It loads now
it was getting hit hard last night

I guess we’ll get some ben-gay to go with the game since Favre is the cover athelete.
April 25, 2008 at 12:05 pm
The cover looks sweet….If EA was going classic they could have used Eric Hipple or Vince Evans…
April 25, 2008 at 1:06 pm
What if Favre gets injured in a freak fishing accident ? Would that count ?
April 25, 2008 at 6:42 pm
this is a great choice…
April 28, 2008 at 12:28 pm
worst choice ever………i would rather have a blank cover than brett favre
you cant play as him and hes not even good…..
*sigh* ANDRIAN PETERSON ALL THE WAY
