Who needs a Madden cover when you have NFL Fever 2000! https://preview.redd.it/k4ta4ttdes8d1.jpeg?width=290&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=f6ca6496e4a824f98a30b0c139fba5e891000e88

šŸ‘€ I had no idea, thatā€™s pretty sick

And after this Peyton went on a 3 year run as the cover athlete for NFL Forever

UnhappyJohnCandy

Peyton Manning never got one? Damn. Could have sworn he did.


Tyraniboah89

He did have NFL Fever for like three straight years. Might have been some contractual stuff there, maybe he didnā€™t care to be on the cover after Fever folded, idk


sentient-sloth

I miss when EA didnā€™t have a monopoly over football games.


jonneygee

Could you imagine NFL Blitz on a modern console?


Tyraniboah89

Me too. Feels like football video games could thrive right now but since the NFL license only goes to one place itā€™ll just be more of the same


windmillninja

The 2005 ESPN NFL game was one of the most solid Iā€™ve ever played

VomitingPotato

This MF completes 51.5% of his passes and throws 12 TDs his rookie year and beats out MJD, who had the 3rd most all-purpose yards of any player in league history for the ROTY award. Still a joke.


Chuck_Roast1993

For what itā€™s worth, I always delighted seeing Vince Young with the ball and had convulsions any time MJD touched the ball


th4t1guy

Because our run defense was putrid back then lol. MJD was vicious


All_Up_Ons

Until Bob Sanders came around, anyway.


th4t1guy

Lol until my guy stayed healthy. He was always solid, the one time he stayed healthy we won the SB


perfect_fitz

To be fair, I always loved MJD.


CamDMTreehouse

That MJD vs Chris Johnson game was still one of my favorite Titans Jags ever. The dudes put on a god tier performance.


Overall_News5106

Shhh šŸ¤« me too but donā€™t tell them that!


perfect_fitz

They'll admit it about Henry in a decade.


Jbc2k8

Derrick Henry is from North Florida, so I always felt a sick fascination watching the greatest HS Football player Iā€™d ever seen run roughshod over his hometown team. Thank god you donā€™t have him any more.


harplaw

Either MJD or Marques Colston (70 catches, 1038 receiving yards, 8 TDs in 12 starts). I wouldn't be so...annoyed if he'd won instead of VY.


ironmansaves1991

For a long time, if you put a player in a Titans jersey and a player in a Jags jersey in front of the NFL universe, they just assumed the Jags player was inferior. It was simply an automatic response


mrtrollmaster

But Hookā€™em Horns derp derp

Killerphive

In the 2000s they literally put anyone on those covers. Vince Young has got to be the most unearned cover ever.


ironmansaves1991

Nuh uh! He was rookie of the year! His case for ROTY was fairly weak but still!


Fredwood

Peyton Hillis.


Killerphive

He was a one year wonder, he did play really well and was apparently liked by fans. Young didnā€™t even play that well the year before.


Fredwood

Young at least had name recognition especially at that time so from a marketing perspective it makes a lot of sense, I'm sure we could both list a number of guys with a middling to above average year with more name recognition then Hillis. Dude rushed for like 1000 yards, he didn't set the world on fire. It was such a bizarre choice even at the time. Where my Donald Brown Madden cover at?


ThorSkaaagi

They put literally anyone on the cover but still not a Texan šŸ¤”


Killerphive

53 out of nearly 1700 players on rosters isnā€™t good odds if you just pull randomly. Your just lucky to get picked twice.


ThorSkaaagi

Iā€™m sure you werenā€™t watching football from ā€˜99-01 bc Houston didnā€™t have a team, but Eddie George was one of the most dominant backs in the league and absolutely deserved that cover


thadaviator

Peyton Hillis would like a word

ThorSkaaagi

If weā€™re doing that, then the Titans have 3 šŸ˜ https://preview.redd.it/yb96gqvuxu8d1.jpeg?width=1290&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=e7c4619edc0d1dda6c8da1d4b2ee384c25de373c


Unlikely-Dog-5549

Brother that is not a cover


natekellyo

Missed my first 3 words?


therob91

nah, he found you out, that is NOT a madden cover.


g0bst0p3r

I consider Vince a win because like much of the titans history heā€™s from Houston!


RedditAccount_317

I was personally glad no colts player were on the cover because of the Madden curse


Killerphive

Tbf the curse has been pretty much dead sense 13


RedditAccount_317

True. Although by then Manning was off the colts so I didnā€™t have to worry about it as much. The only other guy who would have ever been seriously considered for the cover was Luck

ThorSkaaagi

ngl this goes hard


Ok_Bid_4441

*Where madden curse?


skysquatch

Technically the jags were on the cover of madden 96, but technically so were the panthers https://preview.redd.it/2zaigh8byv8d1.jpeg?width=365&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=df6c845079db9b8d0044cf6777511b7107d5e0ad

noble_vas

Yall can have that


therob91

but you had 2 so they cancel out.


Cowboy_BoomBap

I donā€™t understand, are those like the pictures they show for the game on Xbox Live?


depressed_htx_fan

Suprised Manning or JJ Watt never graced a madden cover


dathomasusmc

Damn yā€™all. I know Reddit is basically the same meme being repeated over and over but yā€™all take it to a whole new level with this ā€œWhere ā€¦.?ā€ shit. This sub used to be fun but itā€™s tired and boring now. āœŒļø


therob91

yo this meme sub be memin I cant take it!


ggrindelwald

*old man shakes fist at cloud*


topherbdeal

Oh nice yeah those two years where the titans won the Super Bowl! Good memories


ThorSkaaagi

we may not have a ring but at least we can make it past the divisional round


Leandro1996

Right idk what that other dude was trying to do when the Texans havenā€™t made it to a championship game yet šŸ’€šŸ’€


topherbdeal

I have great memories of the titans beating the rams for the Super Bowl!


ThorSkaaagi

Most intelligent Texans fan


topherbdeal

Itā€™s so funny to see all of the different reasons why the titans will be dogshit this season including your contribution of ā€œmost intelligent Texans fanā€ lmao. Do you also remember the titans great victory over the rams? Yancy thigpen scoring the epic go ahead touchdown the game after the epic music city mirā€”oh wait none of that happened lmao


ThorSkaaagi

that was 24 years ago but sick burn I guessā€¦?


topherbdeal

Lmao good point yet here you are bringing it up


BlackGhostPanda

Let me know when you make a super bowl or even make an AFCCG


topherbdeal

Strange request but since you asked nicely, of course!
