With the new hard cuts, maybe we'll actually be able to run like Barry Sanders this year!

I thought it was Faulk?
Either way I remember whenever the Skins played the Lions it was nerve racking as at any given time you knew Barry could go all the way.

That's because of the year ahead philosophy, most likely....


As for this cover, I thought he deserved it and said it weeks ago. Nothing against AP because that dude is a beast but Barry is just more fondly remembered and his status is legendary.

Oh, I watched some of that nonsense on Sports Nation by accident. Just happened to bump into it right at 8pEST. So turrbull and then caught that run free trailer. Wtf was that?? And where is the blog for the playbook on their site???

I digress. I clicked on the news section for the run free playbook

Well done everyone, you have voted for ANOTHER lions player 2 years in a row. Talk about trying to update the game and we pretty much have the same Madden cover...clap clap. Might as well just use my Madden 13 case.

What does whoever is on the cover have to do with playing the game? I'm a die hard Lions fan but I didn't buy Madden 13. My only concern is gameplay.

Congrats to the only player that could turn a 10 yd loss into a highlight film lol
