Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers is in the final four of the voting to grace the cover of EA Sports' Madden NFL 12 video game.




Rodgers received 56 percent of the vote in the quarterfinals against Patriots running back Danny Woodhead. Rodgers is now up against Cleveland Browns running back Peyton Hillis in the semifinal.

On the opposite side of the bracket, Vikings running back Adrian Peterson advanced to the semifinals against Eagles quarterback Mike Vick.

Snake used to be a big videogamer/football gamer...but Madden sucked the life out of me. NFL 2k5 for the win. I still own all Madden games on Xbox 360 but play hardly at all.

It's still good to see that Arod is in the final 4 going against a white RB...meaning he's going either against Peterson (who has already been on a cover...and Vick who should be glad he has a job in the first place)....Meaning awesome...The best young QB in the NFL and Super Bowl Champ gets on the cover. Good stuff.

They should only put Rodgers on the cover if they're not planning on playing football this season, and are ready to put someone else on the cover before the next season begins. That curse is real. It's verifiable. It's legit. I'd rather they put Urlacher and Peppers on the cover every single year that game comes out.

Remember when they put Brett on the cover? That curse screwed over TWO teams that year! I want no part of that ever again.

We still have time to vote for Hills!

Vick will win it and I'm fine with that because I never want to see a Packers player on the cover of Madden.

[Tarlam!]

We should make a push for All Day...

[Patler]

They should use a picture of the entire Packers team, with coaching staff and TT standing in front of Lambeau field, with all the Championship and Super Bowl trophies in front of them.

The curse of the Madden cover can't hold a candle to the tradition and aura of the Packer organization!!

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!

I think it's interesting that the final will come down to a rookie Madden Coverboy (Hillis or Rodgers) versus someone who's been on the cover before (Vick or Peterson).

I'm guessing the last time Vick was on the cover he got suspended and went to jail for dog fighting, right? Rodgers has enough issues with concussions, the Madden curse would be the thing to end his career way too early.

Like with Obama, the thing about Vick is he'll draw 95% of the black vote. He'll have such a head start with that, it will be hard to lose.

Rodgers deserves it though. He's player of the year IMO.

[Freak Out]

Stop with the superstitious bullshit boys...put the SB MVP on the cover and get it over with. Wait.....was it Jordey?

[mraynrand]

I say put Hillis on there. If you put Vick on there, have him being torn to shreds by some Dobermans.

That would make a great in game mini game.

I voted Hillis ... Way to superstitious...

What are you talking about? Vick is going against AP who if you haven't noticed is black as well. That's like me saying Hillis is only in the running because he got 95% of the white votes. Go look at the stats, if Vick wins it's because he put up MVP numbers, not because he's black.
