It's official. New Orleans Saints quarterback and Super Bowl MVP Drew Brees is the cover athlete for Madden NFL 11. Brees won out over Minnesota Vikings defensive end Jared Allen and Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Reggie Wayne in EA Sports' first fan voting campaign to choose the cover athlete. The game is due for release on Aug. 10. I hope he isnt a victim of the dreaded Madden curse.
