just saw it on sports center, apparently LT declined being on the cover for one of 2 reasons.

1. He didnt like the pay involved
or
2. He just feared so much of the madden curse that he declined it.

i liked the article they did, it was talking about different curses in football, baseball, like the black cat incident with the cubs, and the curse of the bambino with the red sox.

I found this link on coltfreaks.com http://www.cnbc.com/id/18175081/from/ET/

He didnt like the pay, I knew that

LT is a wussbag and VY isn't, plain and simple

for a guy i thought was so classy, and honered him so much, he clearly is greedy and maybe a little selfish.

So who the curse hit, the original choice, or the coverboy.

i'm prayin for the original, if anybody

no need to pray, vinsanity is immune to curses.

Like those players really need money

unlike their football contracts, this money would have been guaranteed. but yeah, im sure he doesnt need the money.

I think you'd be surprised tho'. The Mo money u have the more u spend. When you have enough to buy a franchise, you buy a franchise. That's how it works in life. They have it easy. Don't get me wrong. Free everything. But it don't last. So you gotta get what you can get. Eventually you end up a regular joe. And the real kicker is property tax, cause that don't ever go away.

a decent portion of the contract is guaranteed, and I believe that's something the NFLPA has been working on for a while.

You prolly just jinxed VY. Now he will get injured.:grrhee:

Rumor is that about 7 other players declined to be on it until they got to Vince.

ok...thats just a rumor..Vince was 2nd on the list and according to the madden manager he was "The Guy" all along..

Thats bullcrap. There just tryna make L.T seem like hes too good for the Madden cover and tryna say "He was asked to be on the cover and declined" thats bs.

If he did decline hes a coward.

I doubt he was the 1st option anyways.

they're going to say he was 'The Guy' even if they have to go through every player in the league, letting the public know that players turned the cover down is bad publicity.

People supposedly in front of Vince (very believable):

LT (no brainer)
Peyt'n
Chad Pennington (was actually supposed to be, don't know what happened)
and a few others.
