Saints Fans Cringe as Brees Named Madden 11 Cover Athlete
This week, EA Sports went out of its way to crush the hearts and dreams of certain football fans by naming its cover athlete. This year’s victim – Drew Brees. Yes, each year EA Sports seems to name a cover athlete and each year, disaster seems to strike that player. I am sure that Vegas bookies already have a line on what week the Madden Curse will kick in. And if you don’t believe in the curse, just ask the last few cover athletes about it and see what they have to say.
The only item that probably enjoyed this announcement was Sports Illustrated, as it takes away some of the spotlight on the original curse, the Sports Illustrated Cover Jinx. Sorry Saints fans, but take heart, Jimmy Clausen was still available as the time of this article post.
Check out the new box art, as well as some screens of Drew Brees in action after the jump. Madden 11 is coming to every possible platform imaginable, with the exception of the PC and original Xbox. There might even be a Genesis and SNES version coming out with enough fanfare.
