Uh oh, Brees is on the cover of Madden 2011
[picappgallerysingle id="7840623"]
It was announced today that Drew Brees will adorn the cover of the Madden 2011 NFL video game. Bad news for Saints fans. And that news might be enough to change some betting odds in Vegas. But, betting on football isn’t really a serious thing, it’s all for entertainment purposes anyway.
Generally everyone who has appeared on the cover of the popular video game since 2000 has suffered some sort of injury.
Daunte Culpepper tossed 23 interceptions in 2002. Marshall Faulk never was the same running back performance wise after appearing on the cover in 2003. Mike Vick broke his leg in 2004 after appearing on the cover.
Ray Lewis had his worst season ever in 2005. 2006 saw Donovan McNabb on the cover, he tore his ACL and suffered a sports hernia. Seattle Seahawks and NFL MVP RB Shaun Alexander suffered a foot injury and simply fizzeled away from the football world after his appearence on the Madden cover.
In 2008, Titans QB Vince Young graced the cover and missed the season with a knee injury. 2009, Brett Favre was on the cover and didn’t miss any games but did have shoulder surgery after the season to torn biceps muscle.
Steelers safety Troy Polamalu was on the cover with Cardinals WR Larry Fitzgerald. Fitzgerald sprained his MCL and missed several games, while Polamalu injured his PCL and missed several games as well.
So Saints fans, I wish I had better news, but be prepared for some sort of contingency plan.

[...] Time to panic Saints fans and fantasy owners of Drew Brees, Breesus appears destined to be the next cover boy of Madden. Wait, I’m a Drew Brees fantasy owner. Madden, you sonofabitch, if you need to ruin an NFL QB there are much better options. looks slowly towards Brett Favre, back to Madden, back to Favre. <saintspost> [...]

I believe in the Madden curse. Well, it was good seing Drew at his best, to bad it’s all down hill from here. You did forget about Shawn Alexander in your run down of covers. He was on after they made it to the superbowl, then dropped off the face of the planet. Think he hurt an ankle or foot after the cover.
He will break the curse. they will win another super bowl! becuase he has Faith! Thats demonic! After 44 yrs we win a super bowl! And we gonna win again, Remember this 2011 The era has ENDED!
