For a long while I’ve stated my gut feeling on the cover of Madden NFL 10 was that it would feature either a wide receiver or defensive player. It turns out that it will be both. Today EA Sports has revealed the cover of Madden 10 will be shared by Steelers SS Troy Polamalu and Cardinals WR Larry Fitzgerald.

I pegged Larry Fitzgerald as a strong candidate during the Cardinals’ playoff run. He broke the record for yards receiving in the playoffs where he caught seven TDs along with those 546 yards on 30 receptions. Three of the TDs came in the NFC Championship and two in the Super Bowl.

On the other side of the ball Troy Polamalu was the most likely choice for a defensive player. He is well known due to his frantic style of play and his hair makes him easy to recognize on the field. He comes in representing the Super Bowl Champions which is something new for the cover. He had an INT taken back for TD that sealed the win in the AFC Championship and came off a big season where he picked off seven passes.

Fitzgerald will be appearing on Late Night With Jimmy Fallon tonight where he will be discussing being on the cover. They will also be playing the game on the show which means a glimpse at some gameplay.

Well it beats having Manning on the cover based on Pasta's dumbass theory.

i would rather have no player on the cover. Why does anyone give a flying F@#$ who is on the cover. Its a waste of the 250K they spend on paying these cover guys. Madden sells itself each and every year and it doesn't need a cover athlete to do it.

EA: How bout you take that money and put it towards research and development for madden or perhaps increase your QA staff so this product ships with out obvious bugs. Screw the damn cover athletes. They bring NOTHING TO THE GAME.

For all yall punks who think that contacting my state representatives is a waste, Madden is a billion dollar business. Nothing gets a congressman more excited than money. I have had several responses already in regards to this product and it's practices. There are laws against monopolies in this fashion and since they make BOKU it's worth coming after them. We will have free trade and a free market if we all put in the effort.

Congress is already working on fining NCAA football for bogus claims of a national championship because there isn't a fair competition format. The reason why? Because NCAA makes BOKU!

Time to strike fellas and show them who we area and that we stand UNITED!
