Is This Another Madden Curse?

So I've been watching ESPN lately, you know getting a head start on the upcoming NFL season. And I see all this talk about Bret Favre, how he wants to come out of retirement. Good news for Farve fans, only thing is he wants to go to another team. This is where things get weird. The Packers won't release him from the team and if he does come back he won't start. So now he's running around trying to figure out what to do. Then it hit me, Favre is on the cover of Madden 09. I thought the Madden curse was dead. Everyone said "If there is such thing as a Madden curse, Farve should be safe since he doesn't play anymore." True, but soon as football crossed his mind the curse strikes again. You can almost see Madden standing over bubbling green goop laughing loudly as the steam rises from the pot. I thought madden loved Bret Favre. I guess the thought of him leaving the game was too much for him.

Sadly I think it is. I wanted him to comeback but he came back too late, the Pack has moved on, and hopefully if he gets traded to another team, the Madden curse kicks into full gear.

Not all Packer fans think him coming back is a good thing. Heck, they can't even do a proper support rally in their own city.

I don't think the Madden curse affects him, its affecting us this year because he won't go away the little selfish punk.
