As retired Green Bay Packers quarterback Brett Favre announced on The Late Show with David Letterman, he’s the 2009 Madden coverboy. The game will mark the franchise’s 20th anniversary. Here, have a look at what apparently that coverboy’s 2009 cover looks like. The boxart is popping up online, but we haven’t gotten anything official from EA as of yet. Still, not bad, not bad at all.

According to GameDaily, for the 20th anniversary of the Madden series, retired Green Bay Packers quarterback Brett Favre will appear on the cover of Madden NFL 09. As pizza-raised Chicagoan, I can only say that it’s a shame Favre will inevitably succumb to the Madden curse and throw out his back while playing shuffleboard, or maybe get a concussion from a low speed collision with one buffet’s rogue sneeze guard. The announcement is expected to come tonight when Favre appears on David Letterman. Scoop: Brett Favre to Cover Madden NFL 09 [Game Daily]
