On Wednesday night, it was announced that Beckham beat out Rob Gronkowski and will be featured on Madden 16's cover. Without this catch, there's probably no way he tops Gronk in any kind of vote.
SNIP
So to sum up, congratulations are in order for Beckham, and if you believe in the Madden curse, be sure to congratulate Gronk for avoiding a catastrophe. Regardless of how you feel, it was somewhat disappointing to see Beckham react to the news without celebrating like he did when LeBron hit a game-winner.

So, a rookie Wide receiver who didn't even make the play-offs beats out Super Bowl winner and awesome vet tight end Gronk. Seeing that Beckham was the 8th best WR in the league vs Gronk at 4th best TE, its obviously a demographic target selection. Good business decision, I reckon....

CBS Sports has apparently changed the headline.

No Pats fan here, but a healthy Gronk is a weapon that any team would envy. Once he was healthy and in game shape, they were unstoppable from there on. Ignoring other issues with ball manipulation, of course.

Sorry, I thought for title we could put whatever title we wanted, as the title of the post. I didn’t realize it had to be the original title of the article.

As long as they do not jinx JJ Watt by putting on the cover, I am good with it.

It’s an excerpt, there is a video of the referenced catch at the link.

Why did you change the headline for your personal rant? Just add () after the title like most Freepers do. Fr needs to link to the actual article and we’re in deep sh&t already with the takedown notices.

I wonder how the demographics would work if white people could actually refrain from something they live for TEN MINUTES.
they cant. basketball. Football. music. TV.
No matter how insulted they get, like when Oprah said to her core audience That their parents and grandparents need to die. It didn't hurt ratings

I don’t think sales of the game fluctuate with who is on the cover. It’s generally about making a good picture, and not demanding too much money.

No prob. Just add to lesson learned. I learned the hard way years ago when I changed the headline to “retarded moron of a p-resident signs idiotic law” when the headline was “obama signs historic law’ via AP and the mods were on my ass.
