This is kind of cool cause he just retired and this is a special edition cause it's he 20th anniversary of the Madden games but it's kind of dumb as well cause he won't be in the game. Article

LOL. No, but seriously, he deserves it. It is kinda dumb since he's not in the game but he definently should be on it anyways.

He deserves it, and who cares if he won't be playable in the '09 season, he's still the man.

It's good to see a company like EA isn't above honoring guys who truly mean a ton to the sport. I know he is retired, but, Brett Favre really is a legacy player, and I can't think of anyone more deserving of the cover.

Someone who should be on it and who is better and still in the league: Tom brady. One because his team and HIM specifically have been kicking teams in the butt for the last 5 years, 2 if he goes on it the patriots will suck and make me happy.

The Madden Curse continues, as Brett Farve will not be playing next season. Okay, seriously, I expect this is not the final version of the cover. Somewhere on the final product Madden has to be giving Farve a pants massage.

I'm glad he got the cover. He's been such a great player in the league for so long and has always given his best. I think its a good way to honor him, besides putting him in the Hall of Fame.

Dualbust your kind of ranting. besides everyone who likes teh patriots only likes them because they're good. Brett Favre has always been a tough guy, that you couldnt dislike. and brett favre isnt a random player, Sage Rosenfels is a random player, Michael Clayton is a random player, Favre is a legend.

I thought it might have been nice to have had the likes of Sean Taylor on the cover in memory of his life. I am sure they may have considered it but with Brett Farve's record breaking season they could not pass him. I am actually a Cowboys fan, but I thought the way he was honoured by the league by placing in the Pro-Bowl last season. EA might have considered him because of his tragic death. Saying that there where a couple of guys who lost their lives before the season. I think there was a Patriot backup DE Marquis Hill (I think) and two Broncos players. I just think Sean Taylor was more recognisable than the others.

I haven't bought madden since 06 but putting Favre on the cover makes me interested in purchasing this years edition. I've been a Green Bay Packer Fan since I could walk but when Favre started playing on the team (when I was 6) it completely changed the frame of mind of every Packer fan. We finally had something to be excited about, a player to be excited about. He brought the packers a super bowl, won the MVP 3 times and carried a franchise on his shoulders for the duration he played in Green Bay. Brett Favre was humanized by the media and made vunerable, which I feel that many athletes are not. He struggled with many personal and family problems that were made public by the media. There is only one way I know how to describe Brett Favre and it is Champion. He will forever be the face of the Packers franchise. He is a legend in Wisconsin and of the NFL.

ok yea i agree with one thing that Sage and michel are random and farve is a legend BUT everyone likes the patriots because their good is a VERY bad reason they like them for...... k well everyone else likes them for that reason but i like them cause their a team that you can cheer for and you dont give up hope for when their playing like you watch dolphins their gonna win 2 games thats why i like patriots because when they play you dont give up hope and another thing i agree with you on is that bret Farve is a NFL legend. he has.......he HAD a record setting season and a record setting time in the NFL and he should come back to the packers

Buddy you're making us true, non-bandwagon-jumping Patriots fans look bad - stop.

I'm really happy Favre got the cover, he had such a good season and the playoffs ended so badly, so at least he gets a consolation prize.
