gofridge has learned that Brett Favre, a former member of the face of evil, will be on the cover of Madden NFL 09. gofridge urges everyone not to buy Madden NFL 09, because anyone who buys Madden NFL 09 will be supporting evil.

So if a player is inactive, does the Madden curse still apply?

If so, what will happen to Favre?

I'm confused. How could he be a member of the Face of Evil if he never played for the Raiders?

Hey now, see what it says below my username? Thats right, Wisconsin.

I take offense to that.

Well, not really. I've never watched a Packer game in my life.

gofridge thinks that MacosNerd lives in the parallel universe where everything is the same except that everyone is evil and Spock has a beard.

Madden Football should just have Ditka on it ever year.

can we just boycott EA, they suck. Trying to buy every other company and churn out crap. Besides the idea of wanting to sell a game (Bad Company) which you then have to buy extra weapons after you paid full price for the game. Weak. They since changed it so you get the extras if you fill out a questionnaire.

Fu[k EA!

BTW Madden 09 will not be on the PC, consoles only. Cause EA feel they don't make enough $$ off it.

gofridge still urges that all boycott Madden NFL 09. Brett Favre is no longer contributing to the evilest of evil, but Brett Favre is still wearing a face of evil uniform on the cover of Madden NFL 09.

This just in, NY Jets have changed team colors to gold and green. The J on the helmet looks like a G but is using a stylized font made for high-def plasma screens and drunk New Yoikers. The cover can stand as is. Move along.

I wonder how fast it will crash this year. In 2007 I could play 4 minute quarters and it would be fine, in 2008 I could only play 2 minute quarters.

1 minute quarters this year!!

Without evil, there cannot be good.

gofridge has discovered that this year's Spanish and English versions of Madden NFL 09 double as good and evil versions of Madden NFL 09, respectively.

The good version of Madden NFL 09 features Roberto Garza of the Chicago Bears on the cover. The evil version of Madden NFL 09 features Brett Favre, formerly of the Face of Evil, wearing his Face of Evil uniform on the cover.

gofridge expects everyone to make the right decision and choose the good version of Madden NFL 09 over the evil version.

And the not evil part.

gofridge suggests that anyone who could not wait for the good version of Madden NFL 09 to be released and bought the evil version last month repent by purchasing the good version as soon as possible. gofridge thinks that it might be a good idea to buy two copies to ensure that good can overpower evil.
