According to Gamedaily, the next football great that will appear in Madden is...Brett Farve. EA has decided to end the infamous Madden curse streak right here and now and pass the curse off to someone who has no impact on the 2008 NFL Season. Unfortunately, because of his appearance on the cover, the first year of Farve's retirement may not go so well.

You can expect the announcement of his cover appearance on the Late Show with David Letterman tonight. Congrats on a great career, Mr. Farve.

Well, he's screwed. Thanks a lot EA Sports.
Unprecedented!

If all goes well, we'll have retirees lining up to get their Madden cover at the end of their career, instead of young guys trying to get their cover in early.
The curse is that he'll either unretire, or die.
THE MADDEN CURSE DOESN'T EXIST!

Sorry for linking to Kotaku, but they did the best story on it.
the curse isn't up. Farve is gonna have a bad year of golf and being a housedad.

stupid EA. You can't kill a curse by putting a retired player on the cover.
Wow, I fail at BBCode.
Madden fails, fail failing of failzore.
First the cheesy commercial where he spits in Green Bay's face by saying "Hello", now the cover of Madden. Way to end your career on a money-making note Favre.
I haven't bought Madden in years but maybe, just maybe, I might this year... Or not, who knows...
@ Dephect: STFUAJPG, troll. Can't you at least tell me why it fails?

Also, this is good of them. I was scared they'd put a 49er on there one day, and then my team would really be fucked. They suck as it is.

@ Blehman: Come on dude, leave the guy alone. He's a Godamn Warrior! A fucking hero!

I love you.
Poor Farve
Well now I have to buy this Madden. I wasn't planning on it but I can't help it since I'm a cheesehead.
the curse may die with farve. or maybe farve will die and the curse will liiiiiiiiiiiive.
Cover = no interest to me.

EA putting effort and some good features and content into this game might interest me. I haven't bought a madden game in a very long time, and I probably won't buy it this year unless it really delivers, but I doubt it.
@eternaldarkslayer

i'm sure they can't get no worse than the Dolphins. Well maybe this year but last year.....man.
Nintendoll is my new favorite person to watch when drunk.
Shin Oni

Easy on my Dolphins lol. You have to go through a season like last to work towards greatness. Im saying we go at least 8-8 this year. AND WE WILL WIN AT LEAST 1 OF THE PATRIOTS GAMES!!!!

Oh and Favre on the cover is awesome. Way to remember a legend! Now for Dan Marino....
Is he going to be crying on the cover?
@MrSadistic

well duh because i'm awesome. like for serious people. I can drop kick your ass.

what are we talking about? FOOTBALL
keep it fox related there Nintendoll. Or else the gun's gonna have to come off the rack.
Well, seeing as his name is Mr.Sadistic, I think he would enjoy if you did that.
Clockwork just won the thread.
So, in short -- Brett Favre will come out of retirement.
So now there is no doubt that Madden has had a crush on Favre this whole time
Dolphins win no more than 6 games at best. No fucking way. Team is too fucked right now. But things will improve.

They're the Dolphins. Things always get better.
@EternalDeathSlayer
I don't think our 49ers could get anymore fucked up then they already are.
@ Grapefruit

I've got that second one for sure.
For now, this is still a rumor — EA will reveal the coverboy tomorrow. But I’d be perfectly happy if it were Favre.
EA paid Farve off to retire, and a hueg scandal will come out, and Madden will end itself.

You can't reverse a curse that easily.
What if... Madden, was on the cover, of Brett Favre?

End Madden once and for all
