Wow.

The Tennessee Titans’ (and former U of Texas alum) Vince Young has been granted the cover of Madden 2008. What an honor to be bestowed upon a second-year player in the NFL… then again… maybe not.

I am not a man who readily and consistently believes in “negative superstitions”… but when I can see a legitimate pattern that can be tracked and confirmed over the process of 7-9 years… I tend to begin to take notice. The Madden Curse is as legit as these sort of things come. (see… Eddie George 2001, Daunte Culpepper 2002, Marshall Faulk 2003, Michael Vick 2004, Ray Lewis 2005, Donovan McNabb 2006, Shaun Alexander 2007.)

It’s ok if you are still a skeptic. I was too… until I was watching Michael Vick in a 2004 pre-season game… and he freakin’ fractured his right fibula only ONE DAY after the Madden cover hit the shelves around the world. Yep. “Bad things man. Bad things.”

Too bad for Vincey-Poo.

And might I also take this perfect opportunity to say… TEXAS SUCKS!!!

PRESS ON!!!
