Talk about the AFC, NFC, the NFL Draft, College Football... anything football that has no Washington Football Team relevance.

Well there you have it. Go bye Shaun. Although Im sad to see ANY player get hurt....

Heres a hearty :lol: to the Chicken fans!!

Alexander in May of 2006 wrote:"I don't believe in curses," Alexander says. "I'm always the person that goes against the grain, the baseball player who grabs the random bat. Once you start believing in curses, you have to think about what sock you put on, how many times you stepped on a crack, did you pass a black cat, did you walk under a ladder, did you open an umbrella in the house. After that you get worn out.

Pretty soon teams are going to start putting clauses in their players contracts preventing them from accepting the "honor" of being on the Madden cover. :)

They need to go back to putting Madden on the cover like back in the early 90s.

Or maybe the curse could work on commentators, too, and we can convince Joe Buck to be on it so he can go back to boring us with his jokes during baseball games in October.

Have they put talking heads in Madden yet? It's not like it'd be hard--just find a woman with a nice voice and have them say the same 3 things over and over again.

It'd be an exact representation. . .'if it's in the game, it's in the game,' right?

Would putting Joe Theisman on the cover nullify the curse?
