Go Ahead Gronk, The Madden Curse Is Over.
I'm not a guy who really believes in ghosts, curses, or hexes but there is one curse, in particular, I just can't help but to fear. The Madden Cover Curse.
The Madden Cover Curse has been one of the strangest phenomenons in all of sports for a long time. Other than the Curse of the Bambino, I can't think of any other that really compares to Fat John Madden's stupid hex. Can you?
Let's take a look at the players affected by the curse and you can form your own opinion. It all started in 1999 with Garrison Hearst. The following year, Barry Sanders was supposed to get the cover but he wasn't a dumbass and he retired. Dorsey Levens then stepped up and guess what happened? Yup, he got his knee jacked up and was never the same. For the next 11 years, Fat Madden's Curse claimed 11 more victims. The list includes: Eddie George, Daunte Caulpepper, Marshall Faulk, Mike Vick, Ray Lewis, Donovan McNabb, LaDanian Tomlinson, Shaun Alexander, Brett Favre, Troy Polamalu and Larry Fitzgerald. That's some fuckin list.
Last Season, the cover was given to Drew Brees (My world champion fantasy football QB) and Drew managed to last the entire season without getting hurt. Does this mean the curse is over? Is Gronk in the clear? You be the judge. All I can say is that John Madden is fat and it should be mandatory for every Steeler to sign a "No Madden Cover Clause" before any contract becomes official. Whether this curse is real or just a farce, I don't want any Steeler ever doin this cover again.
Is The Curse of the Madden Cover for real? Is Gronk good to go?

There's def something to say about the fat madden curse. However cooo brees not only lasted all year but he broke Marino's record. Troy got hurt but he has always had a lil injury bugger. However the evidence is undeniable. My rarely ever wrong opinion is that the fat madden curse is alive and real. As far as Brees? I think it's obvious that he's got alotta fans down there in the bayou that practice mad voodoo shit. They weren't gonna let their qb1 get a curse put on him.
ReplyDeleteCan't forget the curse turning Peyton Hillis into a Terrell Owens level, team killing, asshole. Don't mess with Fat Madden. BOOM!
ReplyDeleteI am certain that when Madden passes with a great soft thud into the afterlife, his ghost will continue the curse, ultimately stealing the life from an unfortunate idiot on the cover.
Yes, indeed i forgot about Hillis. Not bad for off the top of me head.
ReplyDeleteNo mention of the tiger striped pants they were all wearing?
