ohhhhh shit.

in what i consider to be startling news, EA has released the cover for Madden '09. this is always big news because the madden curse is an interesting concept, because so far no one has really survived it. some try to argue that vince young made it through alright, but he was 24th in TDs while being 7th in INTs...26th in qb rating. doesn't really sound like the season of a highly touted young qb to me, but who cares now...

i say "who cares now?" because the question now stands...will the madden curse follow you off the field, because this year's cover-boy is no longer playing...


ta daaaaa

Brett Favre! i'm pretty happy with the choice, although i'm now curious to know if this will be a recurring theme, or if ea is just run by a bunch of cheeseheads. if they really are trying to get away from current players, i also wonder if the names pat tillman or sean taylor were tossed around...

who knows...anyway, good luck brett.
