Do you believe in curses?
If you're a Red Sox fan, you did. If you're a Cubs fan, you still do.
And if you're a fan of one of the "lucky" players to grace the cover of EA Sports' Madden video game series, you know all too well about the "Madden Curse."
It's been over a decade since John Madden relinquished his grasp as the face of his video game. Year after year, NFL superstars are chosen to be the face of the popular video game franchise.
And, year after year, said superstar's subsequent season ends in disaster.
The curse may have struck again, as Peyton Hillis is struggling to start the 2011 season and may even be on the trading block.
Is the curse real? Take a look at the evidence.
2000: Barry Sanders - Detroit Lions
One of the NFL's all-time greatest rushers, Sanders unexpectedly retired just one week before the season. An incredible career ended quicker than one of his signature cutbacks.
2001: Eddie George - Tennessee Titans
The bruising back had an impressive season, but had a critical fumble as his top-seeded Titans fell to Baltimore in the first round of the playoffs.
2002: Daunte Culpepper - Minnesota Vikings
Culpepper struggled tremendously all season. He had just a 14:13 touchdown to interception ratio before suffering a season-ending knee injury.
