i read a few weeks ago that fantasy footballers were avoiding him like the plague due to the superbowl loser/madden curse. it appears that another has fallen victim...

What is the Madden curse?

And I guess Bears fans have to be rejoicing in the street right now. Not only does this give them a big edge in this week's showdown, but really makes them the fave in NFC because both they and Seattle play incredibly weak schedules and this upcoming game was probably going to decide home field in the playoffs to begin with.

Mike,
The madden curse is basically, whoever is on the cover of the madden game that year is bound to get hurt. It's almost like the SI cover jinx. I think madden is up to like 8 out of the last 9 players have been hurt.

every year since they started putting a player on the cover of the madden game, that player has been lost due to injury or retirement, starting with barry sanders and his sudden announcement!!

And for all Fantasy Players - owners of Alexander should have Maurice Morris on their team, or they could be SOL!
