The Madden Curse

[Zikaris]

Well shaun Alexander is out indefinately with a foot injury. I think it's a cracked bone or somthing. The madden curse claims another one.

I wonder if they'll be able to get anyone to be on the cover of madden next year................

[Don Dollars]

I was just thinking the same thing. Why would anyone want to be on that cover?

you knew it was gonna happen

it's like the campell soup curse of the 80;s & 90;s, or the dreaded SI curse. It is weird how things work like that

We all knew Alexander was going to be injuried as soon as we saw the cover of Madden this year lol. I think next year they might have to pick a 3rd string player to be on the cover. Or maybe someone with a ton of consecutive starts to see if the curse will continue..Farve still has his consecutive starts going right?

They need to give Peyton Manning the cover next year.. His ass never gets injured..

its kind of weird how they only put black QB's on the cover, so I guess it will be Byron Leftwich in '08

lol, I WISH it was Peyton
Guess he wanted more than the scraps EA probably offered him.
EA=mega cheapo... Don't really care about ANYTHING but the bottom line (lousy publically traded company).
Alexander ALSO was featured on the cover of NCAA the year he graduated....So CLEARLY the curse is madden ONLY.

the millions he gets for being on it probably helps
