The winner of the Madden cover contest voted by the fans was announced today. Finals were Michael Vick from Philadelphia Eagles vs Peyton Hillis from Cleveland Browns. With a 66% vote Hillis won and will become the first Browns player on the Madden cover. Madden cover has a "curse" around it, it seems like every year whoever is on the Madden cover will get hurt the next season. Vick was on it in 04' and broke his leg in a preseason game, in 09' Brett Favre was on the cover and by the time it was released he was traded to the New York Jets, 10' had Larry Fitzgerald and Troy Polamalu which both had ankle injuries.In an ESPN.com chat Hillis said he's not afraid of the "Madden Curse." He went on saying "For people to believe in this so-called curse, I can't wait to prove people wrong," Hillis said. "From what I believe and where I am in my spiritual life, it would be good to prove them wrong in that sense." Hillis seems not to be afraid of this "Madden Curse" and sounds like he wants to show people its not try and he deserves the cover and help the Browns win and get to the playoffs.
