FAVRE TO BE THE MADDEN COVER BOY
Posted by Mike Florio on April 24, 2008, 4:42 p.m.

Somewhere, John Madden is smiling. And eating. While smiling.

Madden’s long-time football I-just-wish-I-could-quit-you guy, Brett Favre, will adorn the cover of the Madden 2009 video game, according to SportsBusiness Daily.

So what will the potential Madden jinx be for a guy who won’t be playing football in 2008? (We’re not asking it rhetorically — we’re giving you guys an opener for some creative and/or smart-alecky comments.)

SportsBusiness Daily is reporting that Brett Favre will be the cover athlete for the upcoming "Madden NFL 09," video game.

The game, which is set for an early August release, will be the 20th installment for the video game.

Favre is expected to appear on CBS' "Late Night" tonight to make the official announcement.

Interesting. So was that cover that was floating around before a fake? Cause it certainly looked like a WR then. I don't believe there has ever been a retired player on the cover. Maybe the Madden guys can actually fix the gameplay this year.

How in the world can he get jinxed now...

[packers11]

Wait a minute, if he is on the cover, doesn't he have to be in the game?

Dear Gawd - I can see it all now.

Brett goes fly fishing, and his fishing buddy hooks him. Then Brett falls off his lawn tractor and breaks a leg. He heals, and goes hunting with Cheney, and...well, you know.

pft user comment...

The curse is so strong that it’s causing guys to retire weeks into the future. Well played Madden, well played…

For some of us... he'll always be 'in the game'.

The curse will "curse" Brett by allowing the Green Bay Packers to win the Super Bowl one year removed from his retirement!!!

[BF4MVP]

This is the right move by EA..We all had a feeling it could happen...Favre should have been on it a long time ago..But at least there's no Madden Curse to worry about.

[Brando19]

YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This is so cool.....Brett deserves it!

[MadtownPacker]

This is a great choice. Madden could never live with himself if his curse struck Favre. This protects everyone and suckers everyone like me who wasn't even considering buying it into now wanting too.
