Shaun Alexander, who rushed for over 1,800 yards two years ago and was featured on the cover of Madden, has been cut by the Seattle Seahawks . Alexander, who is signed through the 2010, is scheduled to make $4.475 million this season. The Seahawks have two possible ways of releasing him. They could simply terminate his contract. If they do that, they would have a cap loss of $125,000. ...Madden NFL 09 Cover: Brett Favre

Things like this scare me. Yeah, it's the Bookie Mom again and this time she wants to chat about Brett Favre (well, before a blast about how we can get offensive lineman on draft day but not rice). She is concerned about the Madden Curse since Favre will be the coverboy for Madden 09. Since he's retired, does it mean the curse will fly over Favre's house?

Brett Favre has been named the cover boy for EA’s Madden 09 , the trademark NFL video game. This really isn’t a shock, as John Madden is kind of in love with him(creepy), and it’s the twentieth edition. Anyhow, this actually does deal with regular football.

I think this pretty much Guarantees an unhappy retirement. There are a few things that could happen here: A. Retired players don't really get injured so this just effectively ends the curse B. Since a non active player is on the cover the curse goes on hiatus until next year when a player who is still in the league goes on the cover C. Something crazy happens like we hear that Brett Favre ...Bretty Favre to grace the cover of Madden 2009

It’s been announced that Brett Favre will be the coverboy for Madden 2009. Thats whats up. Thats a great tribute to the recently retired legend. He deserves it but I have a couple of questions.
