Actually, I'm not even positive he won and EA Sports didn't just go in a room and say, "We CANNOT put Michael Vick on the cover again!" Then again, Hillis did put out the new golden boy, Aaron Rodgers, in the previous round, so maybe he did beat Vick in a vote?
Well, whatever the case is, the city of Cleveland should be pissed. On the surface, it's awesome to get the recognition, but in the grand scheme of things, now your always shitty team just got the Madden curse placed on its best player. I like Hillis (he was my fantasy MVP last season), so I hope nothing happens to him, but if it did, no one should be surprised.
(Side note: Hopefully EA brings the speed burst button back on Madden 12.)
