ESPN is reporting that the cover boy of next year's John Madden Football will be Vince Young. Is his career doomed? Did he just drop 4 or 5 rounds in everybody's fantasy league draft? Barry Sanders, Eddie George, Ray Lewis, Daunte Culpepper, Marshall Faulk, Michael Vick, and Donovan McNabb all had injury-plagued sub-par years after being doused in John Madden's anointing oils (well, in fairness, Sanders retired and completely disappeared from the face of the earth), thus leading to the notion of a cover boy curse. This 'curse' is a bit dubious: uh, guys get hurt playing football all the time regardless of whether they've been on the cover of a video game or not.
And I say the curse ends here! I called it first! Young will be great next year and I say he even avoids injury. I'm not that high on the Titans next year (I'm 'shorting' Titans in market parlance), but I still think he has a productive year and carries them all the way to not making the playoffs. Wait a minute--would that still be considered a curse? You don't think the Titans are going to the playoffs, do you?
