The curse goes something like this: Every player that has been on the cover of Madden since then has either gone on to have a horrible season or get injured...or BOTH.
Madden 2001 cover: Eddie George, Titans RB
Before cover: The Titans reached the Super Bowl the prior season and George had gone to three consecutive Pro Bowls.
After cover: George made the Pro Bowl in 2000, but averaged 3.2 yards per carry in 2001 and 2002 and the Titans haven't been back to the Super Bowl.
Madden 2002 cover: Daunte Culpepper, Vikings QB
Before cover: Culpepper threw 33 TD passes and led team to the NFC championship game.
After cover: Culpepper missed five games in 2001 with a knee injury, threw a league-high 23 interceptions in 2002; the Vikings have gone 11-21 since 2000.
Madden 2003 cover: Marshall Faulk, Rams RB
Before cover: Faulk had become the first player in NFL history to gain 2,000 yards from scrimmage in four consecutive seasons; the Rams had been to three straight postseasons.
After cover: Plagued by an ankle injury, Faulk started a career-low 10 games as the Rams missed the playoffs.
I think Madden 2004 cover will be Mike Vick. Think he will break the curse?
Got these info in another site.
