1999-Barry Sanders....suddenly and mysteriosly retired a week before training camp
2000-Dorsey Levens....had a terrible year and didnt make NFL cut the following year
2001-Eddie George.....he was cursed by bobbling a pass in the playoffs. The pass was then intercepted by Baltimore Ravens linebacker Ray Lewis, who returned the ball for a touchdown. George. He was the injured the following season and his career followed a downward spiral
2002-Daunte Culpepper...Vikings had a 4-7 record with Culpepper starting.. he then had a season ending injury
2003-Marshall Faulk...Suffered a season ending injury and an overalll terrible career after he returned
2004-Michael Vick....Suffered a broken Fibula in the preseason...only played the last 5 games and played terrible
2005-Ray Lewis....He had an injury that kept him out of the last game of the regular season. It was also Lewis' first season without a single interception

yeah alexander is hurt now (but no telling if it's serious yet)
You can call it a coincidence, and that's all fine and good, but it's happened some 4 or 5 years in a row (and add one more if alexander goes down) McNabb was the curse of 06 (the TO incidents that ruined the eagle's season)
this used to be the "sports illustrated" curse. A quarterback (I think a qb?) who was on the cover of sports illustrated had a BAD stoke of luck soon after, and I can't even tell you how many years the SI cover curse lasted.
well, as times change, so has "the curse" LOL. I think it's great, being part of the first NES generation. Now the poor guy who has been on the cover of the Madden football video game has had the "superstitious crosshairs" on him. ESPN even did a story about this!! The Madden curse started back in 2001. I forget who it was after that, but it's included Vick, Faulk, Lewis, McNabb (and now this year possible Shawn Alexander)
You might not believe in curses but this is pretty funny to think about.

Football stars are prone to injury. It is not a curse, but rather the law of averages. Only big stars get the cover. That usually means running back, reciever, or quarterback. They all get hurt a lot.

The Madden Curse is complete bs. It's sheer coincidence, nothing more!

Dont forget Donovann McNabb last year. The Madden curse ruined our year. (Oh wait, that was T.O., but Madden didnt help)
