So I heard on the radio this morning that Brett Favre will grace the cover of the upcoming Madden NFL 2009 video game. Apparently Mr. Favre is the first “retired” player to appear on the cover. (This assumes he stays retired, which I’m not too sure of.) In my opinion, John Madden and Brett Favre are a marriage made in cyber (game) heaven. Why?

Well, you’ll be hard pressed to find someone who worships ol’ Brett more than Mr. Madden. He loves to talk about “Brett Favre this, Brett Favre that, blah, blah, blah”. And Mr. Favre loves to hear people talk about “Brett Favre this, Brett Favre that, blah, blah, blah”. (I might be hunted down like a runaway cow by the Cheeseheads if I’m not careful!)

But I will admit Favre did some amazing things on the football field during his career. And I think he’s one of the last “Old School” (ex) football players - the kind who are tough, love the sport, and don’t shave on gameday. Gawd, I miss those days!

Anyway, Madden 2009 with Brett Favre on the cover will be released in August. You can beat the Cheesehead rush by pre-ordering and be one of the first to receive it when it arrives. Happy gaming!
