The Madden Curse lives on...

Shaun Alexander with a broken foot. Dante Culpepper has a broken game... so does Chad Johnson.

I guess EA thought they could "break" the curse by using multiple players in their commercials. They're all under its hex, now.

Usually, the Madden curse sidelines a player for the whole season (or most of it). This isn't "supposed" to keep Shaun out for too long, and with a bye week in there, he'll miss one less game. You don't like to lose the league MVP from the team, but I think the Seahawks will do okay without him for a short while. The passing game is now lethal, and if Mo Morris can just break a few 5-10 yard runs per game, it will keep opposing defenses honest. The 'Hawks defense has also been incredible so far, and that has really been the key in the first three games.

If the Seahawks really are one of the top teams in the league, they'll find a way. However, if they're like every other Seattle team in recorded history, they'll fold faster than a hobo playing cards...

The curse is real!!

 

[Kylehnat]

It sure seems like it. Before the season started, we were already worried that the Seahawks would suffer the Super Bowl Letdown Curse. Then, we grimmaced in horror as Madden '07 was released. The Super Bowl Curse doesn't seem to be having any effect, and the Madden Curse usually sidelines the player for the entire season. That doesn't appear to be the case here....yet.

They should put Peyton Manning on the cover...💡 3 Times!

 

[Danoff]

Even the madden curse can't stop Peyton.

Another reason why John Madden should be erased from Earth.

No, but a playoff game certainly can.

The severity of the misfortune has been split amongst them.

But Dante still sucks forever.

 

[Silverzone]

Wow, that is creepy. I bet it's hard for EA to find Players to go on the cover, especially since the curse never fails.

Another reason why John Madden should be erased from Earth.

It'd take a lot erasers. Isn't he like 300 pounds?

 

[Omnis]

He weighs exactly one Madden. (jM)

 

[Max Powers]

Brett Favre, Madden's all time favorite player and man-crush, has never been on the cover of his game. I think Madden would choke on a turkey leg if Brett Favre ever had a serious injury.

 

[Omnis]

That's because he already has his own videogame.


(Brett Favre's QB Club (insert year here)) That game was pretty dope back on the N64.

 

[Max Powers]

I thought that was NFL QB Club, and Brett Favre just happened to be on the cover of it.

 

[Omnis]

Nope. Brett Favre's QB Club. My friend still has the cartridge.

 

[Kylehnat]

I have NFL Quarterback Club '96 for Gameboy, and in the booklet, it says that Favre is "rarely intercepted". I was seldom picked-off in that game, but interestingly, whenever I played as the Packers, Favre always threw several interceptions. Maybe the game was actually a future-telling device.

 

[Speedy Samurai]

Wow, that is creepy. I bet it's hard for EA to find Players to go on the cover, especially since the curse never fails.

I think the dump trucks full of money are effective in persuading the player to appear.

 

[Omnis]

God DAMN IT, Culpepper SUCKS!

Why don't freakin' Saban put in Joey Harrington for a change?

 

[Max Powers]

Joey probably won't be much of an upgrade, though. He was absolutely awful with the Lions. I'm not sure what got into Culpeppar, he was a great QB up until last year, when he started throwing INTs like it was his job.

Speaking of QB's ****ting the bed, Roethlisberger has been horrible as well this year.

 

[Omnis]

Yeah, but Joey was kickass in the preseason. Dante was not. Dante can't even pitch the ball to Ronnie correctly.

Wtf is wrong with Marty Booker? He's got banana peel feet.
