Via The Other Paper:
It's a case of mistaken identity, according to Marcus Thomas of the New York Giants. The defensive tackle went on a Twitter rant Tuesday after finding out that the photo of him on the just-released Madden '13 video game is still not him.
Thomas angrily tweeted the following Tuesday afternoon:
"the creators of madden needs to b slapped for putting an impostor pic in place of me that's not me for the last time I don't look like that.
I been in the nfl going on 6years and y'all still have another man's face for my pic on madden i hate y'all hate is very strong but i do"
According to the video game website Kotaku, the player pictured is also Marcus Thomas — a running back who hasn't played in the NFL in three years. That's what has the Giants' Thomas in a snit.
The defensive tackle Thomas just signed with the Giants this offseason after playing for the Denver Broncos for five seasons — one of the five teams the running back Thomas once played for between 2008-09.
The Giants DT joked about the mixup and tweeted that he hopes the game's namesake can help clear up the photo snafu. Thomas wrote:
"Madden is disrespectful practice your craft and make it realistic I'm in newyork now help me please someone call madden and tell him lol"
Thomas later claimed he got a response and tweeted about it:
"mr madden has slapped and gave me a pacifier and told me to make the team before I start demanding requests lol"
