    Of course there's really no "curse," but it's still a fun thing to talk about. Honestly, the people that go out of their way to say "THERE's NO *#$%ING CURSE" are just raining on the parade.

    "Hurts himself" makes it seem like he did it mowing the lawn or doing some sort of home activity... when in actuality, his leg was crushed by a 250+ lbs. man.

    Maybe they put 2 people on the cover this year to REALLY see if the curse is real. One person is coincidence, but 2 and we're in the twilight zone.

    A 360 pound fat man fell on him. I wouldn't say he hurt himself.

    It's not even a joke anymore.

    The Madden Curse is more serious than the face Steven Segal makes right before the bar fight in Out For Justice.

    Vince Young admitted to being suicidal and that was the season after being on the cover. Shaun Alexander went from league MVP to unemployed. Daunte Culpepper has been mired in mediocrity after being one of the most explosive QB before he was on a Madden Cover. Vick, well, 'nuff said. Brett Favre destroyed his likability since being on the cover last year. There's a curse alright.

    @GoonerVance: Don't forget according to Brett Farve, he tore his bicep and the Jets made him keep playing.. didn't bench him but made him suck the last half of the season.

    I think Madden is behind the Madden curse. He hurts the people on the cover so his game gets more publicity. That would explain why he retired before there was two people on the cover. Twice as much planning to do to make it look like an accident.

    /crackpot conspiracy theories

    @JustJake: Close. He just wants to eliminate every player but Favre. Then he can present his "Favre-O-Matic" cloning device to save the NFL.

    What he doesn't realize is that, halfway through explaining the device to the media, he'll go off on a tangent about thumb wrestling and never return.

    Well, since one person got hurt, the curse for 09 is done? or does BOTH have to be hurt to satisfy the curse?

    if both get hurt, will that make believers out of the skeptical?

    Question, do you believe in the Madden Curse? If so, how long before we kiss your ass goodbye.

    See, it's just about a half season injury for Troy, so Larry also gets a half season one since they share the cover. Usually it's a horrible career altering injury for these cover guys.
