Snopes has an article about the so-called Madden Curse. The curse is that if you appear on the cover of the Madden NFL game, that you will have a poor, injury-riddled season. Amazingly, the curse is real! Eight players in a row (every player since they stopped putting John Madden’s picture on the box) have played poorly in the season they appear on the cover of the game. The curse has managed to stay alive for the new season. Shaun Alexander of the Seattle Seahawks broke his foot yesterday in the blowout of the Giants and will miss at least a couple of games. Alexander hadn’t missed a game in six years.
