Madden Curse strikes again

[warrenchaos]

Well you can now add Vince Young on the list of the Madden Curse lol.

Here is an excert from wikipedia about the Madden Curse:

The Madden Curse, also known as the Madden Cover Jinx, is a myth involving the video game series Madden NFL, stating that the season a player appears on the cover, that player will be cursed with either an injury or poor performance.

Before 1998, the cover included only an image of John Madden. Players who have appeared on the cover in subsequent years have generally failed to reproduce their success of the previous years, for a variety of reasons. Marshall Faulk, Daunte Culpepper, Michael Vick, Ray Lewis, Donovan McNabb, Shaun Alexander, and Vince Young all have suffered injuries in their season appearing on the cover. These performances and injuries resulted in speculation of a curse. The "Madden Curse" has evolved into a much-reported phenomenon, with several news and sports media outlets referring to it as a phenomenon on par with the fabled Sports Illustrated cover jinx.

In total, the 10 cover players since 1999 had a total of 39 Pro Bowl appearances prior to their Madden cover appearances, compared with just 4 Pro Bowl appearances afterward.

and here is the list if anyone is intrested:
Garrison Hearst (1999)
Barry Sanders and Dorsey Levens (2000)
Eddie George (2001)
Daunte Culpepper (2002)
Marshall Faulk (2003)
Michael Vick (2004)
Ray Lewis (2005)
Donovan McNabb (2006)
Shaun Alexander (2007)
Vince Young (2008)
