Madden Curse

madden10_cover_300x414.jpgAnother year, another Madden, another curse. This time not one but two players. I have no idea what the new cover guys are thinking because the curse is real. Troy Polamalu and Larry Fitzgerald are going to be on the cover of Madden. Polamalu is coming off a pro bowl season, a Super Bowl win and had a career high 7 int. Larry Fitzgerald is coming off a unbelievable run in the playoffs where he set a postseason record 546 receiving yards, 30 receptions and 7 touchdowns but eventually lost to Polamalu and the Steelers.

Now what do Fitzgerald and Polamalu have to look forward to for gracing the Madden cover. Lets start out with one of my favorite players of all time and Madden 01 cover Eddie George. The year before the cover Eddie killed with a career high in attempts 403, yards 1509 and touchdowns 14. Then the cover comes, 2001 season. Career lows as a Titan in yards 939, yards per attempt 3 and touchdowns 5. 2002 cover Daunte Culpepper was getting his roll on, blowing up for 33 touchdowns but after he decided to do Madden, a whopping 14 touchdowns.

This is where things are starting to get serious. In 2003, Madden picks a former MVP and Offensive Player of the Year Marshall Faulk. It's a terrible shame what the curse did to Faulk. After doing the cover, a bum ankle hurt his season and Faulk never touched a 1000 yard rushing season again. In the 2004 season they put the most electric quarterback in the league Michael Vick. The verdict... I mean the outcome: Vick breaks his main asset his legs in the preseason.

Okay baby, they finally got a person who you'd think wouldn't fall to the madden jinx Ray Lewis. Ray fought the curse hard in 2004. Lewis had a good year the first season after his Madden cover but the next year after that he missed 10 games due to injury showing that you can't hide for long. 2006 went to Donovan McNabb & poor McNabb didn't think it would happen to him. First game of the 2005 season, Donovan suffers a sports hernia.

Let's get to Madden 07 Shawn Alexander. He didn't believe as well... third game of the season, broken foot. Madden 08 another one of my Titans Vince Young. What happens? Vince throws 17 int that year and the next year after that he is a backup.

Now we're to the Madden that I'm currently playing now. Cover boy Brett Farve retired, came back out of retirement and got traded to the Jets. Simply put Brett sucked for the Jets. He had 22 touchdowns on the year but I think all of them came against Arizona. So good luck Polamalu and Fitzgerald I'll probably be seeing you guys on the injured reserve.
