[QUOTE="Bogart, post: 390587, member: 3900"] People still buy into this myth? If a game cover causes you get to an injury and have a bad season then I guess you can use the force on people and push rocks. Drew Brees didn't get injured last season, and you can't pin the blame all on him to losing to Seattle in the wild card game. It's easy to blame the quarterback, but look back at that game, and the stats. Brees had 400 passing yards, and gave it everything he had in him, not his fault their defense sucked without play makers, and that could not run the ball for anything with Jones and Bush. I don't think I'd even bring Favre up when a year after he was on the cover of that game he had his final outstanding year with 30+ TD's and a low of 7 Interceptions, only to go and blow the NFC Championship later on. The Ray Lewis one is nothing. A linebacker is not going to get an interception every year, and plus, he's still playing at his age. I don't think Barry Sanders retired because of a video game. Sanders' was tired of the Lions just patting him on the back for breaking records and not building a team around him, summed it up in his book. I don't play Madden, and don't have plans of playing it again since the game's have been the same for so many years, but I don't think the curse myth would have effected Rodgers. [/QUOTE]
