Brett Favre is a Jet – so let’s make some money!

Now that Brett Favre has been traded to the New York Jets, I am going to pre-order Madden NFL ‘09 and NEVER OPEN IT. Here’s why: typically, the best player of the previous year gets to be graced on the cover of the upcoming year’s Madden NFL game. Such notable players as Michael Vick, Vince Young and Shaun Alexander have all taken center-stage for the popular franchise. However, there is a curse attached to the game - any player who is placed on the cover ends up either getting hurt during the season or performs well below their usual standard.
