Madden 10 Cover Revealed

Apparently, the folks at EA Sports don’t want either the Pittsburgh Steelers nor the Arizona Cardinals to revisit the Super Bowl next February. Why else would Larry Fitzgerald and Troy Polamalu be on the cover of Madden 10? The most popular — and perhaps most redundant (What, roster and gameplay patch updates as downloadable content is out of the question?) — sports console game maybe ever has uncovered their latest installment. This time, however, there are two players on the cover; which could be an effort to spread the dreaded Madden curse around — or to nullify it.
Either way, I don’t doubt some Steelers fans, as well as Cardinals fans, just had a slight sinking feeling. And after looking at the Snopes page for the Madden curse, documenting each and every one, it’s easy to see why. Perhaps the dual-player cover will have a different effect, but I wouldn’t count on it.
The game itself comes out on August 14, which will undoubtedly be a huge “I’m staying home and playing Madden all day” day.

I’m thinking one gets hurt for the year and one is the leading receiver on my fantasy team and finally gets the recognition as THE BEST RECEIVER IN FOOTBALL ( though I’m sure MANY consider him to be that already). Just a thought. Seriously, I wish no harm to the beast of the Curtain. How long ’til football starts?
