Do you believe in the Madden Curse? There is decent supporting evidence from each version. Favre & the Jets choke to miss out on the playoffs, Mangini gets fired, he leads the league in interceptions.

 

Does it exist? If your favorite team's star player was going to be on the cover, would you care about it at all? Or is it just a silly notion.

It's random...but fun to ponder!

 

Garza sucked htis year and he was on the cover the Spanish version of Madden!

 

Until a guy on the cover actually wins a SB, people can always find some fault with their season...it's like fortune cookies.

I thought it was strange to see Garza on the cover of the Spanish version. Out of all the lineman in the league they picked him? Figured no one outside of Chicago would have clue who he was.

 

But you're right a lot can be read into the "Madden Curse" People just focus on any negative aspect of the guy's season to say "see, it's the Madden Curse" There are a ton of guys not on that cover who have down years or get injured. Our roster is full of guys like that. I think they were trying to break the pattern by putting Favre on the cover because he retired and we joked about him tripping over something and breaking an arm.
