    You should check out the SI curse. It goes back farther and is way scarier than the Madden game. 

    How is the Madden game scary?

    The game itself is not scary however if you look at the players who were on the cover end up having injuries or head cases the following season.

    We should of learned our lesson with Hillis and the Madden curse on those E,A, sports games, everybody knew that curse was real, Hillis had 1 good year, won the cover of Madden and then wha happened? I mean really somebody please tell me what happened?  Still a mystery to this day what happened.

    I never even heard of the SI curse until I read about it from you Dawgs, so I looked it up and DAMN that is more insane than the Madden garbage

    1975 Undefeated #2 Texas A&M had just beaten #5 Texas and was put on the cover of SI. Arky beat 'em badly in Fayetteville the following week in the last game of the regular season. F'N SI!! ?Best shot we had in my lifetime for #1. 10 of the 11 defensive starters went on to NFL careers.

    I was shocked he got it in the first place, I mean he had a good year but we only won 4 games, and a couple of those wins were against 2 of the top teams but still only 4 wins

    He was a white RB, that's why he won. 

    Didn't he pretty much go off the reservation the next season, faking injuries or illnesses and threatening to retire to become a FBI agent or something?

    He went off the deep end and left for a bigger payday if I remember right then got injured and flopped...

    Not just football either. I’m not big on curses and the like but damn, why tempt fate?

    Our last NFL Championship came with a QB wearing #13.

    Cool, ever play with coconuts and vinegar?  I think voodoo is a religious thing tho.  

    I merely referred to the much publicized and ballyhooed Sports Illustrated cover curse. Google it. It’s interesting. Hard to disbelieve stuff that happened

    lol,  Don't have to google it.  I'm  more than well aware of the SI curse,  and the 3 rivers stadium curse,  and step on a crack and break your mother's back,  and ya have to step on 3rd base on your way to the dugout from the field.  I just don't believe in any of it.  Nor have I seen any space aliens.

    Between Madden and SI there have been a few notable cursed or jinxed...... but it is sports.
