: I can't find anything in the archives on this subject, so I apologize if it has been discussed before...
: How did Kev and Jay end up on the ECKO team in Madden2001 for Playstation2? Is that something Kevin and Jay did for a laugh, or did EA Sports strike some sort of licensing deal to use their names? I was stoked to see Kevin at center, but I think Jay is positioned as a RO linebacker (in all his 135 pound glory).
: I was just curious after I saw them today... so thanks for any info.
Some programmer or something from EASports posted here some time ago, saying that Kev & Jason had made it known for a long time that they were fans of EA, and EA is a fan of its fans.
I don't have details of the licensing/whatever, but I think that's how it got started.
