QUOTE OF THE DAY
"We have a lot of guys in that locker room that are banged up. They gave a great stand, I'm proud to be a part of what they did. I think we have a bright future and a bright energy coming out of Denver through a year that had many, many different faces."
- Coach George Karl after the Denver Nuggets' Game five loss to the Oklahoma City Thunder
FACT OF THE DAY
Oklahoma City's Serge Ibaka sent back an estimated 12.4 percent of the 2-point attempts by the Nuggets in the five game series.

Fans' pick is not typical Madden cover boy
MORNING BREW
The biggest football stars in the world typically have the honor of gracing the cover of the football video game series Madden.
According to the vote, this year's most popular player is Peyton Hillis.
Madden 12 left this year's cover athlete up to its fans. The result was an upset victory by an up-and-coming running back for a losing team.
Hillis, a 10 seed in the competition, took down huge names like Ray Rice, Matt Ryan, Jamaal Charles, Aaron Rodgers and Michael Vick.
BY MIKE VERNON
mvernon@kansan.com
A seventh-round draft pick in 2008, Hillis was never expected to be a householder name. But on Aug. 30, when Madden 12 splashes on to shelves, households across America will see his face daily for the next year.
Hillis, a 25-year-old from Arkansas, gathered voting support from both the Browns and Razorback communities. He took 66 percent of the final round's vote.
One year ago, Hillis could not have imagined he take down some of pro football's biggest names in a popularity contest. A 6-foot-1 240-pound bruiser, Hillis carried the ball just 13 times in 2009, helping the Broncos move 54 yards toward the opponents' end zones
In the third week of the 2010 season, Hillis burst onto the scene, carrying the
ball 22 times for 144 yards. He repeated his standout performance in week four, running for 102 yards off of 27 carries. Hills finished his season rushing for more than 100 yards three more times for a total of 1,177 yards on the season.
Hillis' impressive season made him a fan favorite in Cleveland and an easy target of the ESPN hype machine. But does he deserve the fame?
Ray Rice, Hillis' first round opponent, ran for more yards than Hillis did in 2010, and is building off of two stunningly successful years with the Baltimore Ravens. Matt Ryan, Hillis' second round foe, has had four impressive seasons with the Falcons at quarterback.
Jamal Charles ran for nearly 500 yards more than Hills in 2010 on 30 fewer carries, but fell to Hillis by 20 percent in the
voting.
Another opponent. Aaron Rodgers, won Superbowl MVP, exorcised demons of Brett Favre past and had a postseason QB rating of 109.8. Then there's Michael Vick. Vick completed one of the greatest turnarounds in sports history last season, capturing the nation's attention with dazzling plays week after week. Yet Hillis will be the one to take the coveted position on the cover, joining Eddie George, Marshall Faulk, Ray Lewis, and Brett Favre. among others.
— Edited by Helen Mubarak
All of the aforementioned players were the best and most popular names in football at one point in their careers. Peyton Hillis does not yet fit that bill.
