As was speculated earlier, tonight on David Letterman, Brett Favre confirmed that he is indeed the Madden 09 cover athlete. It will be one final honor to an illustrious career by an amazing athlete. Also, the Madden curse is gone, at least this year, as a retired player can’t lose a season to injury. In all seriousness, on the 20th year of Madden, it seems right to have one of the best QBs of the last 20 years (and all time) grace the cover.
