Will "Madden Curse" affect Megatron?-- Wed Apr 25 8:45 pm -- Lions WR delighted to grace video game cover
Fresh off a mega contract, Calvin "Megatron" Johnson has landed the coveted cover of "Madden NFL 13." The Detroit Lions wideout beat out second-year Panthers quarterback Cam Newton for the honor. Although hugely popular, the video game carries the stigma of a "Madden Curse." Running back Peyton Hillis, then a member of the Cleveland Browns, won the fan vote last year, but was plagued by injuries and controversy in a hectic 2011 season.(ESPN)
FF Today's Take:Will Megatron shine or follow in the footsteps of such cover stars like Hillis, Michael Vick, Donovan McNabb and Shaun Alexander? We think the the former. Johnson has missed just three games over five NFL seasons and has been a model of consistency, producing even when star quarterback Matt Stafford has been injured.
Hillis gets one-year deal with KC-- Wed Mar 14 7:10 pm -- RB reunited with OC Brian Daboll
The Kansas City Chiefs have reached an agreement with former Browns running back Peyton Hillis, the team announced on Twitter on Wednesday. Hillis' one-year contract is worth $3 million, a league source told ESPN NFL Insider Adam Schefter.(ESPN)
FF Today's Take:Hillis will play second fiddle to Jamaal Charles but his presence does give the Chiefs insurance should Charles need more time to recover from his ACL injury. Hillis was marred by a hamstring injury of his own and reportedly squabbled with the Browns management over his contract status last season.
