The Brees whispered cursed

The new selection for the Madden 11 cover was revealed today. Super Bowl 42 winning quarterback Drew Brees is the new cover man. If you do not know, the cover of the best selling game comes with a heavy price. Sure you got tons of publicity and it is a real honor to grace the cover, but there is this thing called the Madden curse. All but 2 players that have graced the cover since 1999 have had a severe injury or drop in production the season they donned the cover. Some athletes, such as Eddie George, never regained elite status. Now I don't really believe in curses or most superstitions; however, the Madden curse has had a high probability of success. Just last year Larry Fitzgerald and Troy Polomalu were on the cover together. Troy missed all but 3 games with a knee injury and Larry put up his worst season since his rookie year. The Madden franchise is a very lucrative one in the video game world and players should feel proud to be on the cover, but some players decline or refuse to have themselves on there for curse reasons. Drew Brees has said he doesn't believe in the curse and I hope that it bypasses him because I think he is a class act. The fans have voted for Brees, lets just hope he can make it another productive season for the Saints
