Great news today for Seattle Seahawks fans who were dreading their undersized and under-talented defensive backs having to face Arizona wide receiver Larry Fitzgerald twice next season. EA Sports unveiled the cover of Madden NFL 10 and Fitzgerald shares the spotlight with Pittsburgh’s Troy Polamalu.Players who grace the cover of Madden have a knack for suffering a devastating injury while oftentimes crushing the chances their teams have of making the playoffs. If you've been living in hole somewhere, it's called the Madden Curse. Here's a complete biography of players who’ve been doomed by the curse.
Former Seahawks running back Shaun Alexander busted up his foot the year he was on the cover following an MVP season. Cover boy Michael Vick was injured in 2003. And Vince Young told a national TV audience that he prayed he wouldn’t get hurt after he learned in 2007 he would be featured on Madden NFL 2008.
“I done prayed about it and we're gonna go home and try to get to the playoffs and try to get to the Super Bowl,” he said. “We'll see what happens.”
Young had a solid season in 2007, but in 2008, he injured his knee in the season’s first game against Jacksonville. He was subsequently benched and lost his job to Kerry Collins.
