The Madden Curse Strikes Wilbon 

Larry Fitzgerald escaped the curse!

just glad Wilbon is Ok, he and KornH are ESPN all stars, maybe even MVP's

Wilbon didn't have the Madden Curse, Tony just kicked his ass for mocking the penguin dance, and Wilbon got such a bad concussion that he suffered amnesia and couldn't remember the ass kicking.

it's not a coincidence wilbon. it's happened like 10 straight years in a row. and its never been avoided. brett favre was retired and came back. he hurt his arm and then officialy retired. it still lives.

See, you cant even JOKE about being a Madden cover athlete, because you still get CURSED!

the penguin dance! bring it back!

he had a mild heart attack

2002 - Daunte Culpeper - The season after the game his career went down the drain 2003. Marshall Faulk - injured that year i think 04 - Michael Vick -Jail 05 - Ray Lewis - injured and horrible year 2005-06 season 06- Mcnabb injured his leg 07- Shaun Alexander - Bum ass ending to a career 08 - Vince young- look at him now 09 - Brett Farve - Look at him now. Its real

The curse lives.

penguin dance is so funny!

Mocks Madden Curse, suffers heart attack. That's what happens when you're on the cover.

i think it already happened with him coming back... this whole thing is the "curse"

Eddie George in 2001 Dante Culpepper in 2002 Marshall Faulk in 2003 Mike Vick in 2004 Ray Lewis in 2005 Donnavan McNabb in 2006 Shuan Alexander in 2007 Vince Young in 2008 Brett Farve in 2009 Fitzgerald and Palamau in 2010 Now Brees is struggling in 2011 THE MADDEN CURSE LIVES!

I argue that the madden curse struck again with Favre. Not only did he put green bay through the media ringer, but he blew the last 4 games of the year to cost the jets the playoffs, tore a biceps tendon, and led the league in interceptions (which is something that's par usual for him I might add) So yeah, until further notice, I'm buying the curse. It doesn't have to be an overt injury in my opinion, but the players do become irrelevant FAST after they are on the cover, at least so far.

Hahahaha, I'd buy Wilbon '08!

well ray lewis is the victum of the madden cruse but he is fit enough in the playoffs to get his 2nd superbowl ring in his final game

Eddie George, Mike Vick, DMac, Vince Young it happens and happens if your favorite player is on the cover don't get to happy

madden 10 Polamalu oh and brett farve was hurt all last season but it just came out the Jets didnt post it. Also Vince young did get injured that year.

i believe in this curse

people if there are two players on the cover and both went to the super bowl does the curse only effect the team that one cause AZ doing good and Pitt well lost to the Browns. Whats your theory on the madden curse?

lol wilbon youre so crazy!

Garrison Hearst was never on the cover of Madden

Go Cousin Mike!!!!! LOL I have been looking for a way to use this video for a while now and I found it: The new 2010 lawsuit from the retired NFL players against Madden/Electronic Arts. This case has history to it from the $28M Jury Verdict against NFLPA 2 years ago, as noted on my blog at KingCast daught nyet 11 August 2010 entry. Stay tuned for the chilling conclusion.

he made the probowl that year but he was too hurt to play so how is that not a good year

who know alot of ppl decline being on the front cover, i believe even tom brady, the cover curse seems to be real.

Didn’t Wilbon have a stroke later in the year after that cover??

@ 6 seconds uh oh.

looks as if it got Peyton Hillis ...

Whats the other 66 tips

Too funny.

fuck the only curse in the nfl is the one the bucs had. Thank god for michael spurlock

Too bad Brett Farve is back to greatness and Vince Young had a minor quad injury.

That was the most non-intelligent babble I have read yet IanROX22...pls do us all a huge and grow the (censored) up. Mmkay, you're dismissed, sweets.

it says wilbon 08 not madden 08

REAL

He was 69

@Dpdakid06 faulk didnt get hurt....and i dont know that george did either

cruse is true

@rapidogomez his numbers are horrible, he might as well be injured

can someone please put LeBatard on the cover, please!!!!!!!!! but hey, with our luck it doesn't work on losers, only winners like vince and wibon

Not something to "lol" at genius

lol

I wonder if I put me on it... O-O jk.. but putting a piece of shit player on the cover = bwhahahaha!

vince young. goes and cries because the fans were booing him madden curse brett favre. traded from packers after about a decade. makes the packers a disaster after he got traded. and favre misses playoffs to the dolphins whom were 1-15 the year before MADDEN CURSE

if you are on an ea sports cover, get ready... arenas, pierce, melo, vince, iverson.... ray lewis(well he doesnt count he was bound to get injured), brett favre, vick... it just goes on and on... its not only the madden curse, its the EA curse

I'm thinking in Wilbon's case, his injury and illness should be blamed on Adam Archuleta.

Vick in 04 broke his leg in the 1st or 2nd preseason game...

Troy Polomalu just got injured too!!!

o dear god it its

Mocks Madden Cur
