Why do I find this whole Madden Curse thing so funny? I always hope something with happen to players who get on the cover just so the curse with make itself known again.
The Madden Curse Strikes Again
- Thread starter Keane Ng
- Start date
Why do football players get paid a lot. But this isn't the thread to complain, that curse would stop me from going on the cover for sure. I'm not into superstition, I'm into statistics.
A while ago I thought the curse was that if you buy that god-awful game you become a loser forever.

And about the rest of them? When they are not killing their girlfriends, gambling, doing 'roids, screwing hookers, getting into mafia cocaine, or buying cars and private jets...I'm sure they are absolute pillars of the community.CoziestPigeon said:
I bet you would want them to hang out with your family and kids, they are such great influemces, especially not being able to read and managing their millions right into debt.
Our modern athletic idols are jokes. At least gladiators in Roman times would die for their money. These guys are overpaid. Ask any school teacher how much they get paid and then ask them how many times the classroom budget has been turned down in how many years.
I'd put the look on their face on the cover of those sh1t games. Year after year. Nothing can hurt teachers more than seeing the ruin of the society they have to enthuse and educate daily.
You really ARE a douche. That way of generalizing is no different than saying 'you play video games, you must be about to shoot up your school!'Lusulpher said:
Also, being a grade school teacher is not a job you need extreme qualifications for. Good luck finding 2 halfway intelligent ones in the same school, let alone 2 that actually give half a fuck about their classes.
PS. Gladiators were slaves, they didn't make any money.
Yeah, former Oakland Raiders coach John Madden was the guy on the cover from the first edition to the time they started putting players on the cover, hence the name Madden. (Funny how nothing ever seemed to happen to him.)soul_rune1984 said:
OT: While I find it interesting this has happened for so long, I'm almost hoping every year the next player is the first to break the Curse. Here's to hoping, Larry Fitzgerald. (Although this year, it would be kinda cheating, since 2 people were on the cover this year.)
here's what happens.
*pulls up a screen and picks up a yellow marker
the men at ea are over here and they want to sell as much as possible so they go over here to the NFL and find the newest rising star and say "hey, here's some money, be on our cover" and he goes "i like money, sure thing" they drive over here and sign the papers there and pow. deal is done. later on the man injures himself playing while the game has nothing to do with it but because it was a fluke, BOOM!
madden curse strikes again.
*puts away marker and screen which is completely yellow*
