Madden Curse Strikes Again - Ranking the 12 Curse Victims

There have been 12 players featured on the covers of John Madden Football games since 1999 even though the franchise first appeared in 1988. With the conclusion of the 2008 NFL regular season, PWN or DIE decided to take a look at past Madden cover athletes and rank the effect of the "Madden Curse" on each of the victims.

Its seems like a pretty true curse. I mean Mike Vick was on the cover one year. And the second I saw that Favre was on the cover I knew something would go wrong. LOL.

They have Megatron and Kevin Smith COULD have a decent season next year. The problem is defense and QB.

Also i'd probably say Duante Cullpepper would be #2 for me, followed by #3 for Vick.

Madden just sucks and the player injures himself on purpose because they're just that embarrassed of representing such a crappy game and a crappier brand.

Bit hard to know if there is a curse since no other
player gets a chance since chucking ronholdino on the
cover for the last 10 years lol
