Madden NFL 09 Pink to support breast cancer foundation

BOOOOOONESAW IS READDDYYYYY!

How about a cover of him throwing a career-high six TD's in a game? That's not too bad a feather to stick in his legacy cap.

Any record that was accomplished against the cardinals shouldn't count. I should know I live in AZ.

And Brett Farve going out to throw 6 TD's last weekend while injured at the same time Aaron Rodgers hobbles off the field because he fell on his should is "taking a dump on your legacy" how?

When is he never not injured.

Reply to TheOverlord#2: This isn't about "savings the boobs" as you say - it's about saving women's lives and not wrecking young families when Mom passes away. I lost my own wife to cancer way too soon - so how about a little sensitivity here? There are things that are waaaay more improtant than football!

Okay, so when a celebrity actually uses their status to try to bring awareness to an issue and raise funds to address it we should criticize them? I guess it would be better if they just decided to mind their own business and go back to smoking 8-balls and killing hookers.

I dunno. I'm not going to deny that EA likes the monies... but I _DO_ doubt that they're inhuman bastards as you seem to think. Cancer is a huge issue and almost all of us have been affected in some way. I doubt this is any different for EA employees & management. It's dismissive and cruel on your part to assume this is yet another cash grab.

Also keep in mind Peter Moore's running the EA sports ship these days, which I'm guessing is why they're doing something good. :)

I *do* hope I'm wrong, but given EA's previous reputation when dealing with people and how much they "care" about them, I seriously have my doubts.

Just because I have my doubts doesn't make me evil by any means. And quite honestly, in this world, if you automatically think big businesses or gov't isn't corrupt like that and isn't taking advantage of you while having a fake smile on your face, you're going to learn eventually.

Peter Moore, like Major Nelson, is incredibly gifted at pretending he gives a shit about the gaming public and that he's "on our side."

You misunderstand. I'm not saying that big businesses don't do dirty things in the quest for the almighty buck. (I work for a decently sized internet company who does business with the heavies in the auto industry; and before this job I've worked for a few very large tech firms including HP). The thing to remember though is that "big business" and "government" aren't alien entities; they're comprised of individuals like you and I. Some of them, frequently the ones at the top are pretty greedy and don't give two shits about the little guy, this is true; but there are also plenty of normal people who DO care about other people, and sometimes they get their way too. I know it's pretty popular to demonize big companies... but it's not always called for or appropriate.

And this is a case where, in my opinion at least, it's not appropriate. You see, even if this is nothing but a cash-grab on EA's part, they're STILL donating a portion of their profits to cancer research; how can you possibly think that's a bad thing?

And I didn't call you evil, i said your statement was dismissive and cruel. I'm not going to make any guesses to your situation, but surely someone in your life has been affected by cancer? I've lost 3 relatives to whom I was very close, and about 6 months ago a very dear friend of mine, who is only 28, was diagnosed with ovarian cancer. I don't care what EA's motivation is to do this, donating cash to help research and find a cure is a good thing at the end of the day.
