Coverboy Curse Strikes Again !
Posted by AndyP on Sunday, August 17 2003

Is it a myth ? The infamous Madden Cover Curse has struck again, with Michael Vick suffering a fractured right fibula on Saturday Night in an NFL preseason game between the Falcons and the Ravens. Atlanta team owner Arthur Blank said after the game that the quarterback will be sidelined at least six weeks.

In 1999 the PAL cover of Madden featured 49ers running back Garrison Hearst who that same year suffered a devastating ankle injury that kept him sidelined for two years. In 2000 the PAL cover featured Dorsey Levens who later that year suffered the start of a tormenting sequence of injuries that have limited his playing time in recent years. The Madden 2001 cover featured Eddie George who had a disappointing season with stats well below those from the previous year both in terms of yardage run and touchdowns. In 2002 Daunte Culpepper graced the cover. Culpepper started first 11 games of the season before a knee injury ended his season abruptly. Last season coverboy Marshall Faulk was plagued by injuries and ran for less than 1000 yards for the first time since 1996.

Also with Vince, and Steve.. (Vince's knee, Franchise's ear - migraine) also with JKidd and his injury last season I think it was

here is some edvidence of the SLAM mag curse:

Kobe On feb. edition, lakers don't win championship.
gary payton on march(i think) edition, he than gets traded to the bucks
steve francis, and yao ming on cover, yao ming doesn't win rokkie of the year, and the rockets don't make playoffs.
chris webber on cover, chris webber gets injured, misses some of playoffs.

i believe in the dam curse...

a month or two ago, i think lebron james was the coverboy for SLAM -- and he was wearing the '88 eastern all star jersey w/ the #23 (the #23 only looks good on MJ) -- maybe that's a sign to come too - lebron not making it to the all star game? lebron getting injured? we'll just have to see!

Anyone think it will strike Ray Lewis this year???

[Prime!]

BROUGHT BACK FROM THE DEAD!

Hm.. We'll just have to see about Ray..

[tcrock]

Couldnt let my old post go to waste

And it saves space enviromentaly friendly

[GordonBulls]

THERE IS NO SLAM COVER JINX, that is ridiculous, and that madden thing will only be a curse if ray lewis gets injured, cuz he is probably one of the most in shape atheletes in the NFL. So if he gets injured, well just dont get on the cover of madden
