Will Vince Young Break the Madden Curse?

There are a few truths in life:

Don't spit in the wind
Don't tug on Superman's cape
And sure as hell don't appear on the cover of Madden!

Tennessee Titans phenom Quarterback Vince Young, known for throwing caution to the wind as a gutsy, balls-to-the-wall player, is tempting fate by gracing the cover of EA Sports Madden 2008 Football Video Game.

For the last nine years, being on the cover of Madden has results in big bucks and big injuries:

Shaun Alexander, Seahawks	Non-displaced fracture in foot	2007
Donovan McNabb, Eagles	Sports hernia in first game of season; team divided by feud with T.O.	2006
Ray Lewis, Ravens	First season without INT, missed last game of season with broken wrist	2005
Michael Vick, Falcons	Fractured right fibula day after game hit shelves	2004
Marshall Faulk, Rams	Ankle injury, never again broke 1,000 yards for season	2003
Daunte Culpepper, Vikings	Struggled to 4-7 before season-ending knee injury	2002
Eddie George, Titans	Career year, but key turnover led to playoff loss	2001
Barry Sanders, Lions (shared cover with Madden)	Abruptly retired week before training camp	2000

Young has no chance, huh?

USC was supposed to crush Texas (Young's team) in the Rose Bowl. Young responded by giving one of the greatest performances in college history and winning the game.

Young was supposed to be too dumb to play pro football. Young responded by engineering a six game win streak as a rookie, winning the offensive rookie of the year award and being selected to the pro bowl.

Will Young continue this trend and break the curse? His agent thinks so:

"We don't believe in no jinx,'' agent Major Adams said. "People said when they put Vince on the cover of Sports Illustrated (that) it was going to jinx him in the Rose Bowl game, and (Texas) won the national championship. "We don't believe in stuff like that. In the unfortunate event he gets hurt, it is just a part of the game, not because you have the cover.''

As for me? Will I draft Vince Young, a man who has EXCEEDED all expectations, a man who has DEFIED convention, a man who has SPIT in the wind and pimpslapped Superman? Will I draft this man to my fantasy football team?

HELLS NO!
