Damn, i turn on my Tv to sportcenter to find that Vince Young the QB of the Titans is injured and questionable for the season. What are we gonna do about Madden and his cover he keeps piling on body after body, career after career, Mich Vick is never gonna be the same, McNabb is still struggling to win that championship, and we all know the prime example of what it can do is when eddie george appeared. Ray Lewis is ok but his team isn't... what do u think we do, EA can't show a field or they'll probably be a terroist attack or something during a football game. The curse is real and its alive and in effect.

No curse. Football is a fairly rough sport in case you hadn't noticed.

no, it is a real curse, and it doesn't always happen in the form of an injury. Ray Lewis didn't get injuried, instead he was accused of MURDER!!!! So yes, it's real, and yes it happens

You can't say the curse isn't real. Every year these players that never get hurt always get hurt and bad. Micheal Vick, Donovan McNabb, Kurt Warner, Shaun Alexander, Daunte Culpepper, Ray Lewis. All guys that never get hurt, got hurt when on the cover. It's probably a good thing that as a Packer fan I never really liked any of these players. O well, Young's agent said he wouldn't get hurt at the start of the season... good business move buddy!

good analysis, not to mention with Mick Vick how bad is life is now since he got off the cover, lol brotha might be serving five years in a cell with Big Mo. Regardless his trouble didn't start until the Madden cover

There's proof from 2001-2004.

And for a less credible source but accurate as far as I remember from 1999-present: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Madden_Cover_Curse

That's no coincidence.

I say it's real. And I don't even believe in curses. But it happens frequently enough that you have to acknowledge it. But in the case of this injury, it depends on the severity. If he's just out for a week, then it doesn't count. These have to be significant injuries, mishaps, or bad performances over the course of the season.

Get you facts straight, The murders happened before he appeared on the cover....but he did have his first major injury after his appearance on the cover.

Exactly, when you count up all the other players who have gotten seriously injured playing football having never been on the madden cover you could say that football is a curse. Also before the 2001 madden game John madden was on every cover, and to be fair nothing ever happend to him other then the fact that he is fat and a down right awful football analyst.

Vince Young just sprained his quad muscles which is the same a cramp. So he'll alright. But it makes me wonder what Madden would be like if they put refs on the cover.

It's a "strained" quad and its nothing like a cramp. Neither is a sprained quad. A cramp occurs when the muscle is fatigued or from dehydration and tightens uncontrollably. It can be fixed quickly with pedialyte or an IV. A strain or a sprain are both from the muscle stretching too much but not to the point of tearing. It's a slight step below a torn muscle. Far more serious than a cramp.
