Madden Curse Intact

Jump to Comments

Madden Curse22 touchdowns and 22 interceptions including a 61 QB rating in the last 5 games.  Let’s take a look at the history of the covers:

2009 – Favre:  Arm of Jamie Moyer the last 5 weeks of the season

2008 – Vince Young:  9 TD’s 17 INT’s and lost his mind then job to Kerry “Cocktail” Collins.  Curse intact.

2007 – Shaun Alexander:  896 Yards and 7 TDs were lowest since his rookie year.  He missed 6 games due to injury and was never the same.  Curse intact.

2006 – Donovan McNabb:  Missed last 7 weeks with sports hernia and Eagles missed the playoff for first time since 1999.  He was also later ripped limb from limb by the Vikings in the 2008 NFL playoffs.  Severed head given skullet and lines by Jared Allen.  Curse intact.

2005 – Ray Lewis:  Missed one game due to injury and didn’t record an interception for the first time in his career.  This is as close as it gets to beating the curse but it is Ray Lewis afterall.  Ray Lewis is also the only man who prefers to wear his shirts while ironing them, eat a Rubix cube and crap it our solved,  and may also be the original black Power Ranger.

2004 – Mike Vick:  Suffered leg injury in preseason and missed the first 11 games of the season.  He spent a majority of his off-time working on other business ventures.  Curse intact.

2003 – Marshall Faulk:  953 Yds and 8 TD’s.  Worst season since 1999.  Marshall now has to work with Warren Sapp on NFL Network.  Curse intact. 

2002 – Daunte Culpepper: Missed 4 games with an injury and saw TD passes drop from 33 to 14.  He is now the starting QB for the Lions to top it off.  Curse intact.

2001 – Eddie George:  Had his first sub 1,000 yard and only 5 Td’s in 2001.  Curse begins.

2000 – Barry Sanders (featured in background):  Retired (and stayed retired) prior to the season.  Barry knew what was coming.
