Hot off the cover of Wilbon 08, Wilbon finally succumbs to the pressures of being a cover athlete. Wilbon would later go on to suffer a mild heart attack and miss one week of PTI appearances.
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.
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.
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
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!
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
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?
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.
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
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.
