WHAT IS THE MADDEN CURSE ALL ABOUT?

Now that Shaun Alexander broke his foot, everyone has been talking about this Madden Curse. So this is for all the ladies who have been hearin about it but have just been afraid to ask what it actually is.

John Madden Football has consistently been one of the top selling video games in North America every year. So the curse is where the player (and his team) that grace the front cover of John Madden Football end up having a sub par season the following year. Here are some stats:

2007- Shaun Alexander breaks his foot
2006-Donovan McNabb sufferred a hernia and was out for the season after game 9
2005-Ray Lewis is said to have avoided the curse but his numbers were way down and he did not record an interception all season, first time in his career
2004- Michael Vick missed the first 11 games with a broken leg
2003-Marshal Faulk this was his worst season since 1996
2002-Daunte Culpepper missed 4 games and Minnesota has its worst record since 1984

Well... you get the point.
