Ex - Packers QB Brett Favre on Madden NFL 09 cover
Can Madden STILL curse somebody who has already walked away from the game?
Yes people, that's probably what some sick nut is wondering after all them players fell to this somewhat stupid but deadly cursed video game the past few years. But since Favre, already retired from football, won't be taking snaps in the coming 2008-09 NFL football season, can the dreaded Madden curse still get him one way or the other anyway?
If you're still hoping that Brett Favre decides to come out of retirement, you'd probably be happy to know that Favre is not totally ruling a comeback out. He says although a return is highly unlikely, he is not ruling out the possibility of him making a return to the field.
Like say, if the Green Bay Packers needed him after Aaron Rodgers, the team's new starting QB, goes down with an injury, we might see No.4 back on the field sooner than we think. Then, and only then, can we (if you're a Favre fan like most of us...) can start worrying about the reality that he just agreed to be the face of a cursed video game franchise.
As far as those boys behind the Madden NFL 09 video game is concerned, choosing Brett Favre as their next cover boy was easy. He is one of the best quarterbacks to ever play football and with them choosing a retired player to appear on their cover, they won't risk receiving a butt-load of hate mail from Packer fans once the dreaded Madden curse strikes down on the immortal football icon.
After all, he is no longer playing for the team. YET.
''Madden NFL Football and Brett Favre are sports icons who have set the standard and revolutionized their positions within their respective genres,'' Madden NFL Executive Producer Dale Jackson said.
''Brett Favre is a perfect fit for the Madden NFL 09 cover, as he epitomizes everything the franchise has stood for the past 20 years; longevity, excellence, and a love of football.''
Madden NFL 09 will be available for the Xbox 360 video game system from Microsoft, PlayStation2 and PLAYSTATION3 computer entertainment systems, Wii, Nintendo DS, PSP (PlayStationPortable) handheld entertainment system and is rated RP by the ESRB.
Yep, we're salivating for this game already.
