The cock nosetackle, and why he's not such a bad guy
sports.yahoo.com 8/4/2008 — During last night's game, I thought I heard John Madden refer to someone as a "cock nosetackle." Madden (at least the TV version of him) has always been a rather clean-mouthed fellow, so I did a bit of a double-take. A DVR rewind confirmed it. Madden called someone a cock nosetackle.

UPDATE: EA To Make Brett Favre Jets Cover Available For Madden NFL 09 — FirstCuts
EA, wanting to make sure there's no way I'd leave work on time today, sent out a late announcement that while Madden NFL 09 will ship with Brett Favre as a Packer on its cover, a download will be made available for fans to print a Jets-specific Favre cover shortly after the release.
EA also reiterated that a roster patch will be available for download on Aug. 12. (They also wanted to ...
Madden Curse Strikes the Game Itself — FanHouse
Monday night at midnight, people like me will be forking over money to video game stores to buy Madden '09. On the cover of the game will be Brett Favre wearing his Packers uniform. Or course, that won't happen this season, so it is an awkward design to honor the 20th anniversary of the game. No new cover with Favre in a Jets uniform will be printed, even after this initial launch. Kinda goes ...
Favre will be in Jets uni on Madden cover... if you print it yourself — tonyblogs.net - Sports news, humor, videos and prognostications.
Many video game nerds (like myself) have been wondering what EA Sports would do when Brett Favre got traded. As you can see in the photo, he's featured on the cover of the game in a Packers jersey and is now a New York Jet.
Never fear, Maddenites! EA Sports will offer a free downloadable cover for the game that you can print out and stuff in the game's box yourself. It costs you nothing ...

THE WEEK THAT WAS ... CRUISIN' — ESPNtheMag.com - MagDaily
We thought this week went by fast. Well, at least if you ignore all of those Brett Favre stories. Raise your hand if you thought he would be playing for the New York Jets this season. No one? Yea, we didn't think so. But that saga is all over now, except for switching out his jersey on the cover of every Madden '09. Other than that we spent the week getting ready for the Olympics.

A Prognostication of Sorts — I Dislike Your Favorite Team
So here's how it goes down. Brett "Hitman" Favre, the newest neuron connection for the Mangenius, joins a so-so Jets team and immediately lifts their potential and level of play. They come out of the gates steamrolling opponents going 4-0 before anyone realizes that it can't last. Even though Favre has played in 275 straight games, he succumbs to the hoodoo that is the Madden Curse. In a freak
Favre to Jets: 10 Reasons why it is the single biggest NFL trade in the last 19 years — Sports Business Digest

Favre to the Jets! Asphalt jungle, my ass. — I Dislike Your Favorite Team
This story is being lugubriously covered by every media outlet, and I really want to get on to the Washington Redbones, but as a Jets fan I can't withhold comment.
Merchandisers are scrambling. For example, Madden 2009, which features Favre on the cover as a Packer, might re-release the game with the ol' Gunslinger as a Jet. Hysteria, pandemonium, dogs and cats living together ...

Brett Favre Traded to the Jets — Pride Of Detroit

Brett Favre has been traded to the New York Jets, officially ending his career as a Green Bay Packer.

Welcome to the AFC East, Brett — The Goose's Roost
By Chris Well things certainly got more interesting in a hurry. Brett Favre is now the quarterback of the New York Jets , meaning the Bills will face him twice this year. It's one of the rare days where it might actually be a good day to be a Jets fan. For Bills fans like us, however, the thought is scary. This is the year Buffalo was looking to break the nearly decade-long playoff drought ...
