The John Madden Curse Strikes Again - Victim: Donovan McNabb
 
Donovan McNabb injured, Terrell Owens suspended, the Eagles having a bad season. This can only mean one thing. The John Madden curse has struck again. And it seems to be getting worse each year. Check out this timeline to see for yourself.

For those that don't know of the curse, I'll explain a bit. Ever since they removed John Madden's picture from the game covers in 2001, every quarterback who has had their picture on the year's Madden game has either gotten injured during the next season, had a bad season, or a combination of both, all three of which affect the entire team. Looks like the Eagles are no exception this time around.

Still denying it having anything to do with a curse, the NFL to-date, has no explanation for why it always happens in this fashion. But as a result, there are quarterbacks that actually DON'T WANT their pictures on future Madden games.

To make matters worse, EA Sports now has exclusive rights to EVERYTHING NFL in the game department. So, the only NFL games we'll see from this day forward are Madden games. But what's going to happen when they run out of quarterbacks and everyone's afraid to get their picture on the cover of Madden games?

This and anything relating to the John Madden Cover Curse can be discussed here.

What happens when they run out of quarterbacks you ask?

Well, they turn to other positions of course, quarterbacks aren't the only positions in the nfl.

Who's next, we will have to wait and see.

lol, I'd have to disagree with you there, I'd love to see Brady on one of those covers to get him off TV for once. But I bet everyone is hoping for the unstoppable Payton Manning to be next.
