Yes, I do. That was one of the reasons why I did not take Vince Young in my fantasy draft.
The players on the Madden Cover
Before 1999 John Madden was on the Cover.
1999- Garrison Hearst
In 1998 Hearst had his best year. However but on the first play of the divisional game versus the Atlanta Falcons, he suffered a bad ankle break.
2000-Barry Sanders
However, a week before training camp began in 1999 Barry Sanders retired.
2001-Eddie George
In 2001 AFC Divisional Playoff game George had a costly fumble that lost the game for Tennessee. he was never the same after that.
2002-Daunte Culpepper
Culpepper threw for nearly 4,000 yards and 33 touchdowns while rushing for 470 yards and 7 more scores in the 2000 season. In 2001 Culpepper struggled with turnovers in the first 11 games of the 2001 season, throwing 13 interceptions and only 14 touchdown passes. A back injury ended his season in the 11th game.
2003- Marshall Faulk
Faulk suffered an ankle injury, missing five games.
2004- Michael Vick
Vick was injured during a preseason game against the Baltimore Ravens, suffering a fractured right fibula.
2005- Ray Lewis
In Week 6 of the 2005 season, Ray Lewis' was injury. It was the only time in his carrer he did not get any interceptions.
2006- Donovan McNabb
Donovan McNabb suffered a sports hernia and played through the end of November before electing to have the season ending surgery required to repair the injury.
2007- Shaun Alexander

I believe in the Madden Curse. However, with a curse, comes a gift. For some reason, I feel that this year will be the year that the Madden Curse, will become the Madden Gift. Vince Young has been looking good lately, and I look forward to seeing the Tennessee Titans try to make it into the post season.

Until a player survives a season unscathed after being on a Madden cover I will continue believing it. Here's hoping that Vince Young finishes the season in one piece.

Yeah, although I think part of it is in the player that is picked. Come on RBs and Running QBs have a good chance of suffering an injury, and sure enough you get another running QB. Anyway every player that has been on their has gotten hurt or had a bad year. I think it is a self-fulfilling thing too though.

To be fair, Vick took himself down. I don't know how you can put Lewis on this list. He's the on-field qb for one of the best defenses the NFL has ever seen. The rest I agree with.
