I’m sorry, but I have to call bulls*$t on what I feel is a totally media hyped story rearing its ugly head these days.  If you turn on sports radio, ESPN, FOX, or other sports entities one of the lead stories is McNabb is upset with the Eagles which could lead to many new changes this coming year.  First of all, do we know McNabb is actually upset with the Eagles organization?  Secondly, Andy Reid and the Eagles are actually thinking of benching McNabb and starting Jeff Garcia next year?  I mean this is the same Jeff Garcia who couldn’t even hold a starting job in Detroit or Cleveland in recent years.  Finally, Philadelphia is actually considering starting Garcia?  Sorry, I had to say that again because to me this is complete bunk.  The only thing McNabb is mad about is the fact he had a freak injury on the sidelines and it probably kept the Philadelphia Eagles from reaching the Super Bowl as the NFC champion.  The Eagles will start McNabb next year or the SportsUnderground will spawn a new sister site dedicated solely to flowers and butterflies!!!   

People reference the supposed curse all the time and oddly enough it strikes again. Reigning MVP Shaun Alexander who graces the 2007 Madden cover broke a bone in his foot this past Sunday and is more than likely out 4-6 weeks. This will be a huge blow to the Seahawks success in upcoming games and will he fully recover in time for a the important stretch run to the playoffs?

In respect to the Madden curse review the stars who were the faces of previous Madden games and what happened to them during that season.

Donovan McNabb ‘06 - sports hernia in the first game of the year and then the TO debacle. 

Ray Lewis ‘05 - first season without INT and then missed last game with a broken wrist. 

Michael Vick ‘04 - fractured right fibula basically days after the game hit the stores. 

Marshall Faulk ‘03 - ankle injury and never once again broke the 1,000 yard mark for the season. 

Daunte Culpepper ‘02 - struggled to 4-7 record before a season ending knee injury. 

Eddie George ‘01 - career year, but key turnover led to playoff loss. 

Barry Sanders 00′ - retired the week before training camp
