So Michael Vick Will Get Hurt Next Year

This isn't exactly a big surprise, but Michael Vick has made the finals of the Madden '12 cover tournament vote thing on ESPN. Normally any time an Eagles player gets some recognition nationally, I like it. Especially Vick, who whether we like it or not, is now our best player and the key to us winning anything next year. However, the last time this happened, well it wasn't exactly a good omen. I'll spare you the laundry list of shitty things that have happened to NFL players the year they graced the cover of Madden, but it was Vick in 2004 and he promptly broke his ankle. So, yea, here's to Peyton Hillis winning. (Odds Peyton Hillis wins, I draft him on my fantasy team, and he breaks both arms the next day sit currently at 1:1.)

Oh, and doesn't this kinda speak to how much people don't give a shit about the dog-killing anymore? I mean the guy is being voted by the fans to grace the cover of the most popular sports video game ever. Football > dogs, or so says America. (And don't just says it kids voting either, EVERYONE plays Madden.)

Website Review: Roger Goodell Edition

Yes, that's a pic of John Madden asking for one of everything on the menu. I'm sure you're not surprised.

I love Goodell's face in this pic.  You can practically read his thoughts through his expression. "Maybe if I just hit this mammoth idiot with a blunt object I can shut him off.  But then how will I kill myself?  God, what the fuck am I doing at a TAKE OUT Chili's in bumblefuck Pennsylvania with John Madden??  I'M AN IMPORTANT MAN!"

NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell's website has a running blog complete with pics of his trip to each teams' training camp. What you may be surprised to see is how shitty his site actually is. I'm not exactly sure what I was expecting, but it's really sad. He's the Commissioner of the most prominent sporting league in the Americas. You’d think his shit would be a little better put together and presented. 

The stories from each camp visit are uneventful at best, and the Twitter feed really doesn't give anyone a reason to follow at all. And let's not even get into the awful Photoshop of Goodell at Lambeau Field in the site's banner. MS Paint would’ve been a much better choice.
 
So yeah, don't waste your time. This website doesn't really offer you anything in the way of an interesting perspective or entertainment whatsoever.  The only part of the site that was worth looking at were the back-to-back posts featuring Madden's feeding times. Here's a blurb:

"We're holding out hope for a Chili's," the driver of the Madden Cruiser called back to Roger Goodell.

                                               .......                                                      

 Madden was on the phone when we passed a sign showing Chili's at the next exit, but wasn't clear if was a sit-down or takeout version.  As Madden got off the phone, he said, "So what's the deal with Chili's?"" [Time for a pitstop]

We also learn in that story that John Madden loves tuna fish.  Enthralling.

If you still want more, you can see Madden getting ready to further raise his risk of heart disease amongst the Rest Stop truckers HERE.
