Sam's Club will print new Madden 09 cover for you photo

If you’re a fan of the Madden NFL series, there is a slight chance that you already know about the Brett Favre trade this offseason. Aside from making every self-respecting NFL fan cringe at the sight of Favre in a Jets jersey with a roster update, the folks at EA Sports had to do some damage control with their Madden 09 packaging featuring Favre in his old Packers jersey. Currently, EA has a printable copy of the cover featuring the gunslinger in his new uniform available on their website.

For those with less-than-stellar printers, there is another option available.  Sam’s Club will print out the optional cover for free with each purchase of Madden 09. That means no hassle with PDFs for you, and professional quality printing as well. Sam’s Club is also offering the game $55.55, which is a decent discount. I really wish I knew about this last night, because I’m currently having sizing problems with EA’s downloadable version of the artwork. Either way, it’s good to know that there are some options available for the perfectionists out there.

Will Sam's Club also give me a Madden 09 game without bugs and glitches too?

It's really weird seeing Farve in a Jets jersey.

Doesn't matter, the Madden curse will make him throw more interceptions than touchdowns this year anyway.

Wait a minute...

People still buy Madden? Just like the cover, it's outdated garbage.

@blehman - As a Jets fan, I can say that the severe amount of bad luck that hovers over the Jets may just be enough to keep the Madden curse from hitting the team and more directly Favre.

@Y0jimbo - I've been playing it for a few hours, I haven't noticed any huge issues...Aside from the cross passes being a bit easy to complete/hard to defend and a few clipping issues that really haven't had an impact (for me) the game seems like it is a nice effort. Far better than the way I was feeling about NCAA 09 a day or 2 after I got it...

@DryvBy - Don't be such a twat. If you don't like Madden, or sports or whatever your gripe is why bother to make such a stupid fucking comment?

I'll have to check out the 'Alternate' cover...It has been many moons since I have seen a NY Jet grace the cover of any football game.

Love the new Madden. With that said, if you actually print this, you're a fu... freaking tool.

I'm trying to cut back on the F-bombs I leave in comments.

Bleh - It is a long hard road, and it is one that isn't nearly as lonely as one might think (misery loves company). Over the last 25+ years I have experienced more shock, shame and dissapointment than I could write about. I'm sure the Jets will lead me to a heart attack or stroke at some point in my lefetime...Which is a sad thing to admit to.

@Max - I don't think I've ever seen a Jets 'cover athlete'...It would be one of those things...Not something I would usually give a shit about, but can't help but be excited for this season.
