GameTap: Brett Favre Interview - Talking Madden, The Curse, and quarterback hype with one of the greatest to ever play the game

GameTap writes: "Think the Madden Curse ends when a retired player poses for the cover? Think there's no way Brett Favre can be taken down the way The Curse took down Vick, Culpepper, Alexander, and McNabb? Think again. "Green Bay fans will hate this, but we signed Brett before he retired," explains EA Sports President Peter Moore. "Maybe that's the curse. Everybody in Green Bay hates me now."

And while the Packer backers curse The Curse, they can't get enough of Favre. When I caught up to the future Hall of Famer in New York, it was after a wild night of fans actually chasing him through the streets of Manhattan.

"I don't come to New York often, but there's nowhere to go," Favre told me as he talked about fans running down the street after his van and pounding on the windows to get his attention. 'There's so many people and there's so much going on, but there's no where to go if you get caught up in traffic. I don't know how many millions of people are here in New York, and most of them don't even know who Brett Favre is and could care less, but for the people who do, they're chasing the van and you stop every 30 feet. So you really can't get away. If I was at home, we have a gate and a fence so they can't get in -- you can get away from people. It was a little, I don't want to say overwhelming, but I was confined to the van and there is only so much you can do. It's a little different.'"
