Warp Pipe: Fans choose Madden NFL cover

The NFL season could be in danger of a lockout, but that hasn't stopped EA Sports from pushing out another Madden release. This time around, football fans have the power to select the next athlete for the Madden NFL 12 cover. Through April 27, fans can vote in a bracket-style elimination at ESPN.com/MaddenVote, where they can choose from 32 candidates to appear on the cover of Madden NFL 12. Fans' votes will determine which NFL players advance through the seeded brackets, and the final Madden NFL 12 cover athlete winner will be announced on ESPN's "SportsNation" April 27.
