kpholmes Posted February 4, 2010 Share Posted February 4, 2010 I own all three of these guys in my Dynasties. More importantly as a football fan, I would hate to see any of the three have bad years. Then again... maybe the fans picking breaks the curse? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cdrudge Posted February 4, 2010 Share Posted February 4, 2010 Then again... maybe the fans picking breaks the curse? Didn't Fitzgerald already break the curse? Or does one of two players being affected still keep the curse alive? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shaman Posted February 4, 2010 Share Posted February 4, 2010 Didn't Fitzgerald already break the curse? Or does one of two players being affected still keep the curse alive? From wikipedia On September 10 2009, Strong Safety Troy Polamalu of the Pittsburgh Steelers, who was featured along with Larry Fitzgerald on the cover of Madden NFL 10, sprained his MCL in the first half of the season opener and missed the next four games. After returning, Polamalu played in three more games before injuring his posterior cruciate ligament on November 14, 2009 against Cincinnati, and missed more games as a result. Larry Fitzgerald, on the other hand, started all 16 regular season games for the Cardinals and suffered no injuries that caused him to miss games. He has, however, pulled out of the 2010 Pro Bowl, citing a knee injury he suffered week 14 against the San Francisco 49ers. He recorded 97 receptions (third-most of his NFL career), 1,092 yards (fourth-most), and a career-high 13 touchdowns. Depends on how you look at it, Polamalu probably doesn't think so Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brentastic Posted February 5, 2010 Share Posted February 5, 2010 I don't see why any player would do this anymore. Wether you believe in a curse or not, the history is just too much to ignore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

budlitebrad Posted April 22, 2010 Share Posted April 22, 2010 By Mike Triplett, The Times-Picayune April 21, 2010, 7:30PM New Orleans Saints quarterback Drew Brees officially will be announced Thursday as the cover boy for EA Sports' Madden 11 video game, having "won" a fan vote over Indianapolis Colts receiver Reggie Wayne and Minnesota Vikings defensive end Jared Allen. Sorry Saints fans. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rajncajn Posted April 22, 2010 Share Posted April 22, 2010 Sorry Saints fans. We've beaten all other odds, this one's silly by comparison. I'm glad he got it, both for the recognition & the challenge. Maybe now Brees can put this thing to bed along with the SI curse, the voodoo curse & the Saints first Superbowl. New Orleans Saints quarterback Drew Brees said he's willing to take on the 'Madden curse'By Mike Triplett, The Times-Picayune April 19, 2010, 3:12PM After leading the New Orleans Saints to the first Super Bowl in franchise history, quarterback Drew Brees might have another daunting task on his hands - breaking the "Madden curse." "You know what, I'm not rooting against it," Brees said, when asked about his hopes for the vote. "If it does happen, just like records are made to be broken, curses are made to be broken too. If the fans have spoken, if I am indeed their vote, then I'll do my best to break that trend." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wolfer Posted April 22, 2010 Share Posted April 22, 2010 I kinda thought Fitz broke the curse last year. I suppose his QB was niggled all year which deflated LF's stats a bit but compared to some of the other guys who have been on the cover that was a pretty good season. In one keeper I'm in the same division as the Brees, allen and wayne owners so how about all 3? what could possibly go wrong bwahaha. Or better yet, the raiders team photo, love that idea SH21 lol.

Wasn't he on the cover with Polomalu? If so, the curse goes on since he was injured all year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

myhousekey Posted April 22, 2010 Share Posted April 22, 2010 (edited) Brees on twitter Here's what I have to say about the Madden curse: Destiny is more powerful than a curse. Whatever is meant to be will happen. Faith He'll be announcing the Saints 1st round pick tonight as well.
