Madden curse strikes back, Polamalu suffers knee injury in season opener

Nonsense!

Way to kill the fun.

you shut up when I'm talkin to you!

Yeah, the injury rate is high in football. But the fact that it happens to just about every player that appears on the cover is just to much of a coincidence to be ignored.

Oh, and FNG, I think you meant to say "You shut your mouth when you're talking to me!"

thats unknown.

Ha! But you didn't know about the Madden Curse Joystiq Comment Curse did you? Anyone who posts on Joystiq trying to discredit the Madden curse will themselves suffer an injury within the week.

@ storm. i think you're right.

I shut my mouth when I'm talking to me!

@Storm Eagle: The injury rate of players who are NOT on the cover of Madden is as high or higher than the players who are on the cover of Madden. It's not a coincidence, it's just how violent football is.

@Courtney: I had a debilitating shoulder injury yesterday, does that count?

Logic has no meaning on the internet Unknown!!!!!

GTFO.

The MCJCC Lives!

Sure, the injury rate is high, but the number consecutive guys that have had the ONLY major injury of their career the year they were on the cover of Madden is pretty outstanding.

So you figure we take some random player and I tell you that in his 8 year career he will have one major injury. So the odds of that just happening to occur by coincidence on the same year they were on the cover of Madden (assuming they only donned the Madden cover once in their career) is 1 in 8. Now, take that, and apply it 10 consecutive times and the odds of that happening are roughly 1 in 134 million.

yea....him going thu all he did to get signed and people calling him a traitor and all that takes the cake

How did favre not get hit with the curse last year?

He just recently admitted that he played the last 6 games with a torn bicep, which was clear to anyone that watched the games and noticed that he couldn't throw the ball further than 10 yards downfield in that span.
