i wonder how the madden curse will effect brett favre.............

According to an article on the madden curse: http://fantom1979.homeip.net/madden.html

2008 2007 Vince Young, Injured himself in the 5th game of the season; the first time he was ever injured in his career or college career, middle school, and high school careers

2007 Shaun Alexander 2006 187 Yards, 2 TD, 2.9 YPC 3-0 First Place Shaun Alexander missed 6 regular season games with a broken foot. He finished the season with 896 yards and a 3.6 yard per carry average (well down from his 4.4 career yard per carry average). His 896 yards and 7 touchdowns were the lowest since his rookie season.

2006 Donovan Mcnabb 2005 2507 Yards, 16 TD, 9 INT 6-10 4th place After week 9, Mcnabb suffered a hernia and was lost for the season. Mcnabb threw for more interceptions and his yards per attempt and completion percentage were down from 2004. The Eagles finished 6-10, in last place, and missed the playoffs for the first time since 1999.

2005 Ray Lewis 2004 147 Tak, 1 Sack 9-7 2nd Place Ray Lewis for the most part avoided the curse. His numbers were slightly down from the year before, but he missed one game. He did not record an interception in 2004, the first time in his career.

2004 Michael Vick 2003 585 Yards, 4 TD, 3 INT 5-11 4th Place Vick missed the first 11 games with a broken leg. Vick's QB rating, comp pct, and yards per attempt were all down from 2002.

2003 Marshall Faulk 2002 212 Rush, 953 Yds, 8 TD 7-9 3rd Place Despite playing the same amount of games, Faulk rushed for 430 less yards and had 4 less TDs compared to 2001. Faulk's worst season since 1996. Rams scored only 16 more points then their 1996 team who had Tony Banks at QB and Lawrence Phillips at RB.

2002 Daunte Culpepper 2001 2612 Yds, 14 TD, 13 Int 5-11 4th Place Culpepper missed 4 games with injury, threw for 1300 less yards and 19 less TD's then in 2000. Minnesota's worst record since 1984.

2001 Eddie George 2000 403 Rush, 1509 Yds, 14 TD 13-3 1st Place George's curse came in 2001 where he failed to break 1000 yards and Tennessee missed the playoffs going 7-9.

If he comes back to the NFL, a terrible season.
If he stays retired, he breaks the curse or something happens to him outside of football.

[Drex]

Your sig is awesome.

[OldReliable]

That Kobe thing is the best one I have ever seen. nice sig.

[Tyler]

A couple of Laker haters in here.

[shadowgrin]

Your sig is awesome.

I definitely concur.

[hawks24]

as we're all kobe haters. come and join the club, very nice sig OldReliable, funny

EDIT: back on topic please

EDIT AGAIN: did ya know that ladanian tomlinson was supposed to be on the cover for madden 08, so fans made a website "SAVE LT FROMMADDEN" velly velly funny

[OldReliable]

Why Thanx. I like it too. LT is not doing so hot now.

NEWS:

Brett Favre applies for reinstatement to NFL

http://msn.foxsports.com/nfl/story/8388470?MSNHPHMA

[OldReliable]

We need a Farve Is Gay sig now. This is ridiculous.

Edit:
Here we go.

[hawks24]

amazingly funny! Now all we need is someone to put this in their sig

[HeatThreePeat]

i thought that this was kind of a false move to put him on the cover, since no one was sure if he was coming back or not.

[cyanide]

So Brett gets traded. Is that the curse?

[shadowgrin]

No not yet. The trade is the curse biting EA in the ass for placing a retired player in the cover, the curse is pissed. The curse will resume its normal operation when Favre plays for the Jets.

[OldReliable]

Which jersey will be on the cover?

[Andrew]

Given the release date, it seems unlikely that the cover will change for the initial release. Perhaps EA might consider doing a special edition or just updating the covers for future shipments.

New downloadable cover coming eventually.

[shadowgrin]

We do not plan to re-issue packaging, but WILL offer a free downloadable cover in the coming days on easports.com featuring Brett Favre in a Jets uniform. Fans can print this new cover out and insert it into the case of Madden NFL 09.

LOL

[cyanide]

Haha, that's so ghetto. A really good quality paper and a good colour printer is required to come close to the "real" thing.

[Matthew]

Yeah it sure is "ghetto" to download an updated cover for a videogame. I expect it to be an epidemic throughout Harlem along with drugs and prostitutes.

[Andrew]

Fair enough solution for anyone who cares enough about the cover to want it updated.

[cyanide]

Yeah it sure is "ghetto" to download an updated cover for a videogame. I expect it to be an epidemic throughout Harlem along with drugs and prostitutes.

Uh, ghetto isn't constrained to only one definition. Next time you pick on me, try not to make yourself look like an idiot.

[Matthew]

lmao you're referencing urban dictionary and you're calling me an idiot? Remind me to use that site for my next paper

• noun (pl. ghettos or ghettoes) 1 a part of a city, especially a slum area, occupied by a minority group. 2 historical the Jewish quarter in a city.

Thanks oxford dictionary! I'm such an idiot

New covers.

[cyanide]

Thanks oxford dictionary! I'm such an idiot

While you're at it, you might want to look up slang in your Oxford dictionary.

Oh, don't forget literal.
