Take a quick look at @MarcusThomas_79 on Twitter and you can learn a couple of things about the Giants defensive tackle.
Marcus Thomas loves to tell jokes and "will work for practice squad money."
He also "hates" the creators of Madden '13 - EA Sports - for putting an "imposter" in place of his profile picture on the newly released video game.

"I been in the nfl going on 6years and y'all still hav another mans face for my pick on madden," Thomas tweeted on Tuesday. "I hate yall hate is very strong but I do."
Thomas can live with a below-average player rating (76) in the popular game. However, he says he can't live with the "disrespect" Madden's creators have shown in the video game's last three versions, including Madden '12, which sold 1.4 million units in the first week.
"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 continued on Twitter.
"dear mr @EAMaddenNFL i com to you humbly sir. Can u please put the right photo of me on the madden it's been 6years not lol maybe a giggle."
The problem apparently stems from another player named Marcus Thomas, a running back who was waived by the Denver Broncos in 2009 and hasn't played since. The Madden game displays a photo of that Marcus Thomas instead of the newly-acquired Giant, listed at 6-foot-3, 316 pounds.

That's Marcus Thomas on Marcus Thomas' Madden '13 player card. Not Marcus Thomas.
It seems Thomas' Twitter appeal to the Madden creators, at least at first, went noticed but unchanged. Thomas chirped this message to followers:
"Mr. Madden has slapped me and gave me a pacifier and told me to make the team before I start demanding requests lol."
However, Madden NFL Live content producter Donny Moore (@Donny_Moore) assured Thomas the mistake will be fixed:
"Sincere apologies Mr. Thomas, we will have this picture removed for next update...It is the UTEP Marcus Thomas."
Suddenly, his hate turned to love in one last tweet.
"Thanks mr. Madden, I love you."
