Madden Cover: A Blessing
or a Curse? Bodog.com Posts NFL BETTING PROPS
+ Odds on McNabb
August 9th, 2005 - Bodog.com
released NFL betting props + odds today on whether
Donovan McNabb will fall victim to the Madden
cover curse during the 2005-06 NFL season, and
miss consecutive games because of injury.
Each year, Electronic Arts selects a promising,
well-known player to be featured on the cover
of its football video game. It was announced earlier
this year that Philadelphia Eagles quarterback
Donovan McNabb would be the official face of Madden
NFL ’06.
“To be chosen as the cover boy for this
incredibly popular video game is an honor that
the star quarterback is certain to embrace,”
said Calvin Ayre, Founder and CEO of Bodog.com.
“Gracing the video game cover is said to
bring three things: mass-media exposure, hefty
endorsement checks and the Madden curse.”
Some observers have blamed the Madden curse Ayre
refers to for sidelining the seasons of past Madden
video game cover men. Minnesota Vikings quarterback
Daunte Culpepper succumbed to a knee injury during
the 2001 season following the video game’s
release. Atlanta Falcons quarterback Michael Vick
suffered a broken ankle during the 2003 preseason
not long after appearing on the cover.
“Last year was the exception, as Baltimore
Ravens star linebacker Ray Lewis appears to have
escaped injury and avoided the curse. Let’s
hope for McNabb’s sake, the curse is behind
us,” Ayre said.
Will the curse return? Bodog’s bookmakers
are suggesting even odds.
