Madden Curse: 2008

Recommended Posts

Reggie "ow, my ankle!" Bush!

 

Pre-orders through Electronics Boutique receive an autographed Reggie Bush poster.

 

Saw the in-house flier today while picking up my Wii....dunno if this is official yet, but I saw a photo of the box cover. It was Bush.

 

Move him down your draft boards accordingly. :mad:

I thought this Madden jinx thing was all bullsh!t thrown around by a bunch of know-nothing fantasy football freaks............until I took Alexander #3 last season.

 

As soon as he began struggling last year, I told myself I would not draft the player who ended up on the cover in 2008 -- under NO circumsances.

 

I'll let someone else do this :shocking: all season long......

I honestly must say this moves Bush to end of 2nd round for me ! seriously Daunte, Marshall , SA, McNabb , George , Vick I mean theres an 80 % chance using trends that Bush either gets injured early or plays awful !

 

Unless the value is ridiculous I will not select him ! !

sorry man, no link.

 

I saw it with my own two eyes though - computer printout with a madden 2008 cover, Reggie Bush big as life.

 

Guy told me it was from an internal email to inform stores to push pre-sales with the Bush Auto'd poster for pre-orders.

 

They apparently did the same thing Alexander this year.

 

Just did a search and Saints forums have nothing significant other than rumors "hot & heavy" that Bush is the cover boy.

Yeah I checked around on a few sights (EB, EA, etc...) and didn't find anything concrete enough to declare myself the winner of my bet.... I'll keep hunting though......

 

If anyone sees any kind of link on this at all, help a brutha out :ninja:

Man, it would still be hard not to draft the guy if he is there late in the 3rd? Didn't he hurt is ankel in the season last year? Now he has hurt it again? This could be a reoccuring problem. He would still be fun to have on your team. Hard to pass on him late in the 3rd. I might just BITE!

I'm not convinced this is true yet. Two years ago, I saw a Gamestop promo that had Tom Brady as the Madden coverboy, and it really ended up being McNabb. We'll wait and see. :rolleyes: I'm willing to bet it isn't Reggie, actually.

Ok, but according to the dude at EB, Bush already signed a deal to provide X,000 autographed posters.

:lol:

 

I certainly concede that it's possible but I did see the cover. Of course they might have 9 different ones floating around, but considering his "marketability" I would not be surpised in the slightest.

This will be the year that the curse is broken. The one thing that eveyone else who have been on the cover has in common that does not apply to bush is that they had all been in the league for several years before they were on the cover. Since bush has only been in the league for one year he should be able to make it through the year. God I hope.

i think they should put that pic of Reggie Bush getting smacked around by Shelton Brown on the cover - THATwould be marketability for a game that is supposed to have realistic hits.... :dunno:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

... and maybe a 'bad' pic of someone on the cover could 'reverse the curse'...

i think this is actually 2 strikes against him... 1. Madden cover, 2. Sophmore slump for RBs...
