Calvin Johnson Wins The Madden 13 Cover

[KillerKat]

First rule of debate is actually to pay attention to what you are debating...I never said that winning wouldnn't generate recognition, which equals out to revenue...what I said was that this accomplishment would also generate recognition which would equivocate to revenue....wow, you are giving me a headache

Winning games is all that matters in making money. Not silly video games. What good is the recognition if you're playing like poo? Which would mean losing money. A video game would not matter at all.

seriously just one person who claims the curse is real, explain to me the difference between correlation and causation. stop being so silent. back up your claims with something other than silly conjecture.

JJJJJJEEEEEEESSSSSSSSUUUUUUSSSSSSSSSSSSS

sorry that you're not intelligent enough to understand that if we are losing, it doesn't matter if Cam is on the cover or not. Winning is what really brings in the money. It's real sad to have to point that out to you.

Are you really that Naive to believe that purely winning is what brings in the money???? So based on what you are saying their are no other factors at play in professional sports that drive revenue, not only from the teams perspective but from the host cities persepctive as well...this is your argument....

I believe you will say yes which will let me know exactly whom I am dealing with

good

If I believe in Jesus and miracles can I also believe in curses?

here you go, a good amount of lions fans voted for cam, that was my point

Thank you for providing that link, that being said my argument about the potential revenue brought by this accolade still remains true and my logic about voting against your team still remains true, and in Detroits case it is even worse than here, we have a realtively strong economy, all things considered

[Mother Grabber]

Good to know Cam won't get hurt this season, and is guaranteed to eclipse his numbers from last year.

I believe a silly video game doesn't matter. How many people do you know that become fans of a team simply because of someone from the cover of madden? Or went to a game or bought merchandise just because of it? Where's your links that answer those questions?

[Iceberg Slim]

ok, if you say that the only opportunity cache for revenue for a professional footaball team is through winning games, I guess I will take your word for it. I'll ignore any contracts made between the team and the city, and the resulting traffic driven through ancillary services that support the team, and any revenue realized from merchandising etc. etc..... because you have enlightend us to believe that the only thing that really matters, realtive to economics is winning a game..thanks I will truly leave this conversation enlightend and with a new view of economics

Nope cuz I dont understand correlation and causation smarty pants. One thing i do know is if Cam got on that cover something bad was gunna happen to him.

[footballisasport]

Guys...stop it..Cam is a rookie who went up against season vets for a cover of a game.

Be proud and stop your whinning. The kid is keep you in the spot-light.

[PantherFanOne]

Damnit. Really wanted Cam to win this thing. He'll get it next year

What's the matter with you dude,you want Cam to break a leg or have a bad season?

[BBQ&Beer]

So... if Cam gets a season ending injury & CJ breaks several records on his way to a SB win, does that mean the curse is now on the runner up?
