Why couldn't they both be on the cover?

On your last post; apparently I can't see gmail attachments for some reason.

Ah, I'm sorry. I could have used tinypic but I didn't.

I thought that's what they were doing, putting the winner of the "new school" and "old school" on the cover. It's what they should've done.

My mom absolutely hates Barry Sanders. It's one of the only reasons why I'm not getting the game.

Now, that's ridiculous. You're not getting the game because your mom doesn't like the cover athlete? Also, why? He's the best running back ever. What's not to like!?

My mom called him a traitor for retiring during his prime. I personally just go with it, but it's not the only reason, since if they're making it for a Wii system (which, of course, they aren't), it's gonna be the Wii U (I only have a regular Wii), and plus, it'd suck anyway, since, well, it'll be a Wii game and dumbed down. That's really why I won't buy the game.

Really? That makes him a traitor? I think your mom is actually being greedy. I mean, it is his career. And do you they make Madden for the PC? If you do, you'd be able to play there, I think.

They make absolutely no sports games for the PC anymore, so no.

And I wouldn't call her greedy, per se, but just don't mention the name around her, and you won't feel her wrath.

I've heard that from a lot of people who are upset with Sanders' retirement, and I've always found it a bit ridiculous. He had three options: Continue to play as his body begins to break down for a team that will not amount to anything during his tenure, request a trade/enter free agency and be hated by all in Detroit, the city for which he has done so much, or retire and leave his legacy pure and unsoiled. In retrospect, it was really an obvious decision, and anyone who hates him for it needs to grow up and realize that athletes have other priorities than helping your favorite team ascend from complete shit to mediocrity.
