    Damn... I voted everyday for Jared Allen too... LOL. Well at least that makes me go back to being a cautiously optimistic Saints fan again. All I know is that OL better protect him even better than last season. The first game is against the Vikes so they need to make sure at least 1 O-lineman stays back to keep him from getting Favred. Cuz u know them ? gone try to hit him late. ? he needs to have at least 1 O-lineman around him 24hrs a day to prevent him from doing anything that LOOKS like it might get him injured. LOL

    damn...good look for Brees....might be bad for the Saints....and to answer the question on the curse wasn't it broken when Ray Lewis was on the cover.....or maybe it's shifted from the person on the cover to the actual team they play for....cuz both the steelers and the cards sucked last year

    ray lewis broke his wrist or something

    Prior to 1999, every annual installment of the Madden NFL series primarily featured John Madden on its cover.[20] In 1999, Electronic Arts selected Garrison Hearst to appear on the PAL version's cover, and has since featured one of the league’s top players on every annual installment.[21] Since then, much like the Sports Illustrated Cover Jinx, certain players who appeared on Madden video game box art have experienced a decline in performance, usually due to an injury.

    Daunte Culpepper led the Minnesota Vikings to the playoffs in 2000, but after appearing on the Madden 2002 cover, he threw 23 interceptions as the Vikings slumped to a 5-11 record. He also broke the record for most fumbles in a single season. While his career looked to be back on track in 2004 with a career season, he blew out both knees in 2005 and 2006 and never resembled the player he was at the start of the decade.

    Marshall Faulk appeared on the 2003 cover, and his career (and the success of the St. Louis Rams) severely declined afterwards. He did not register another 1,000 yard rushing season and his yards per carry average dropped from a consistent 5.4 over the previous three years to 4.5 in 2002 and 4.0 in 2003 and 2004. He started 21 out of a possible 32 games from 2002-2003 as knee injuries got the better of him. He underwent reconstructive knee surgery in 2005 and retired that same year.

    After appearing on the cover of Madden NFL 2004, Michael Vick broke his leg in pre-season and missed the first 12 games, with the Atlanta Falcons going 5-11.

    Ray Lewis, 2005 cover athlete and middle linebacker for the Baltimore Ravens, had his season cut short in week 15 with a wrist injury. It was also Lewis' first season without an interception.

    In 2006, Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Donovan McNabb tore the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) and meniscus in his right knee while jumping out of bounds in a game versus the Tennessee Titans, ending his season. McNabb also suffered a sports hernia in the first game of the season.

    Running back Shaun Alexander, then the league’s reigning Most Valuable Player, was featured on the cover of Madden NFL 2007, and sustained a foot injury that caused him to miss six starts.[22] As a result, Alexander’s rushing statistics were substantially less than those from the previous season, and he never returned to true form.[22] Alexander himself has asked, “Do you want to be hurt and on the cover, or just hurt?"[23]

    Madden NFL 2008's cover featured Vince Young, the starting quarterback of the Tennessee Titans. Young missed 1 game of 2007 season. On September 7, 2008 Vince Young sustained a knee injury which put him out of the game. He was relieved by backup quarterback Kerry Collins[24], who remained the starter for the rest of the season (Young eventually regained the starting job on October 29, 2009).[25] *When Young appeared on Jimmy Kimmel Live to officially announce that he would appear on the cover of Madden NFL 2008, he derided allegations of becoming the curse’s next victim, and stated, “I've 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. We'll see what happens."[26][27]

    Brett Favre appeared on the cover of Madden NFL 2009, and did not miss any games. However, he later admitted to suffering a torn biceps injury, which Favre says may have affected his gameplay during the final five games of his first and last season with the New York Jets, who missed the playoffs at 9-7 after starting the season 8-3.[28] Favre threw 2 touchdowns and 9 interceptions in the last 5 games of the season.

    On September 10, 2009, Strong Safety Troy Polamalu of the Pittsburgh Steelers, who was featured along with Larry Fitzgerald, wide receiver for the Arizona Cardinals, on the cover of Madden NFL 10, sprained his MCL in the first half of the season opener and missed the next four games. After returning, Polamalu played in three more games before injuring his posterior cruciate ligament on November 14, 2009 against Cincinnati, and missed more games as a result. Larry Fitzgerald, on the other hand, started all 16 regular season games for the Cardinals and suffered no injuries that caused him to miss games. He did, however, pull out of the 2010 Pro Bowl, citing a knee injury he suffered in week 14 against the San Francisco 49ers.[29] He recorded 97 receptions (third-most of his NFL career), 1,092 yards (fourth-most), and a career-high 13 touchdowns.
