CRAP!!! If that is true, he is soooo screwed.

kcfanXIII · 03-03-2006, 04:20 AM

i know, me and one of my buddies are freakin out about it, and his girl friend doesn't understand. i'm like every year for the past seven years the player who is on the cover hasn't finished the season. she thinks its a coincidence. i laughed at her.

don't get me wrong, not trying to start rumors or anything. i'm just trying to find another source that has heard this.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Odds on the Madden 2007 Curse of the Cover
WAGERWEB.COM POSTS NFL FOOTBALL BETTING ODDS ON: "WHO WILL GRACE THE COVER OF MADDEN 2007 AND WILL THE CURSE OF THE COVER CONTINUE?"

(Zapote, Costa Rica, 29 November 2005) Many of you are avid video gamers and if you are, "EA Sports Madden Football" is one of the best sports games ever made. NFL players that have graced the cover, though, have a much different opinion. Since 2000 the cover of the must-own football video game has had a picture of an NFL player instead of John Madden. Every single player except for Ray Lewis saw a substantial drop in production after his appearance on the cover. This year was no different has the cover boy was Eagles Qb Donovan McNabb, who not only has had to deal with the T.O. drama, but has been bogged down with a sports hernia that has affected his play all season long.

The first cover boy was RB Eddie George, who saw his numbers drop dramatically the season after he appeared on the cover, going from 1509 rushing yards to 939. The next season it was QB Daunte Culpepper who saw his TD passes drop from 33 to 14. The year 2003 saw RB Marshall Faulk grace the cover and his yardage production drop by over 400 yards. The most infamous of all the cover curses befell QB Mike Vick in 2004, whose numbers had to drop after he hurt himself in the preseason and only played 5 games all year. It is anyones guess who could be 2007's cover boy, but it is a pretty safe bet that whoever it is would rather he be on the cover of Playgirl instead.

"It would seem like an honor to be featured on the cover of Madden, but with all the players seemingly having bad years or getting hurt after being on the cover, it is anything but an honor anymore" said Wagerweb.com CEO Dave Johnson. "We have received a large amount of wagers on WR Terrell Owens gracing the cover of Madden 07. At +12 to 1 (Win $1200 for every $100 bet) he's garnering the most attention."

Actually, I hope and pray it is Feyton Manning. Time for him to have a disaster of a year.

The Madden cover boy hasn't been announced yet.

Everyone knows it's going to be Rich Scanlon; so relax.

I've been fearing this since he really broke out last year. He seems exactly the type of guy who would thumb his nose at the curse, just to prove everybody wrong.
