The voting for which player will grace the Madden NFL 13 cover
has come down to the final two; Cam Newton of the Carolina Panthers and Calvin
Johnson of the Detroit Lions. Many players feel it is an honor to have their
likeness on the cover of what is probably the greatest football game ever made
but shouldn’t they be worried about the curse?
If you ask any player
about the dreaded “Madden curse” they will dismiss it as nonsense but when
you look at how players have fared the year they graced the cover of the Madden
game, it makes you wonder.
A lot of athletes that have been on the cover of Madden have
had bad and in some cases injury-plagued seasons. I mean if it happens once or twice then it
could easily be written off.
