Out most of the day Wednesday 5/2

I’ll be gone for most of the day on Wednesday May 2nd attending the media event at EA Canada. New updates will come possibly very late on Wednesday evening or Thursday morning.

Another chance to win

With the sooner than expected announcement of the Madden NFL 08 cover athlete, the contest previously being run to win the faceplate ended without a successful guess of Vince Young. So now we’ll give it another shot.

To qualify simply sign up for the site’s newsletter which can be found in the sidebar. For details on the newsletter read this post. Anyone on the list by Thursday April 26th will be eligible. Once that date is reached, one person from the list will be randomly selected to receive their choice of the Madden 07 faceplate or a copy of NBA Live 07 for the PC. The winner will be contacted via the email address provided to choose which prize and to provide their shipping address. Good luck!

Weekly Newsletter

I’ve added a weekly newsletter signup on the sidebar of the page. Simply enter in your email address and confirm the sign-up in the email that is sent to you. You can always opt-out of the newsletter by clicking the link within them or by contacting me and I can do it manually.

The newsletter will contain the title and link to all the articles that have been posted over the course of the week. This way you can stay up-to-date with the news and make sure you didn’t miss out on anything important!

Pick the Madden 08 cover athlete contest

With the announcement expected any time now over the course of the next two weeks, speculation continues to run rampant as to who will grace the cover of Madden NFL 08. Here is your chance to take your best guess and possibly win a Madden 07 faceplate for the Xbox 360. If there is more than one correct entry then the winner will be randomly selected from that pool of people.

Use the Contact Padre page to send in the name of the player you think will be selected for the cover. Make sure to include a working email address as I will need to reply to the winner in order to arrange the shipping of the faceplate.

Entries will be accepted right up until the moment that the player chosen to be on the cover of Madden 08 is revealed. Good luck!

Introducing ‘Ask Padre’

I’m going to be starting a regular feature called (creatively enough) Ask Padre. If you have a topic that you would like me to touch on, go to the Contact Padre page and send me a message. I’ll try to get to as many as I can, with priority going to the best suggestions/questions or the ones that I can offer the most insight or opinion on at the time. I plan posting at least one Ask Padre column a day.
