Madden NFL Cover Vote SemiFinals
April 10, in the year of our Lord 2013 – Today
ESPN SportsNation announced the semifinal matchups in the Madden
NFL 25 Cover Vote. Barry Sanders will take on Jerry Rice in the
Old School bracket, while Adrian Peterson and Arian Foster will
battle in the New School bracket. The winners of each bracket
will advance to the finals, with the Madden NFL 25 cover athlete
to be named live on SportsNation on Wed, April 25. Voting
highlights from the quarterfinals include:
· 2.1 million votes this round, 37.1 million votes overall
· Adrian Peterson posted the largest margin of victory, taking
70% of the vote against Robert Griffin III
· Arian Foster had the slimmest margin of victory, defeating
Russell Wilson 52% to 48%
Both Rice and Sanders have been steamrolling the competition
thus far in the Old School bracket, and the two have seemed
destined for a collision course since the early rounds. Now it’s
up to the fans to decide how the greatest receiver of all-time
stacks up against arguably the most-electrifying running back to
ever lace up a pair of cleats. The New School bracket is
dominated by running backs, and will pit Adrian Peterson’s power
against Arian Foster’s elusiveness for a shot at the big prize.
We’re only one round from the finale, and fans are invited to
cast their votes at ESPN.com/MaddenVote through their PC or
mobile devices. For the chance to “Maximize” votes, ESPN and
Madden NFL 25 have collaborated with Pepsi MAX to promote
Twitter live voting every Tuesday throughout the Madden Cover
Vote campaign, where tweets with each player’s respective Cover
Vote hashtag will count as two votes. Double votes ends at
midnight ET each Tuesday.
