    Adrian Peterson recently rejected an offer to be on the cover of EA Sports' Madden football game, according to Profootballtalk.com.
    A.P.'s fantasy owners can breathe a sigh of relief. The player who's come closest to defying The Madden Curse so far is Brett Favre in 2008. Favre didn't get hurt, but collapsed with a 2:9 TD to INT ratio in the last five games.

    Hmmmm... I thought Favre was hurt... that seemed to be the consensus by seasons end, that he was hurt. Only the Jets could go out and get the most IRONMAN of all-time QB's and end up having him injured and going out in a blaze of failure.

    I beg to differ.... Idk if it was smart to decline the offer for one specific reason...

    -LT was asked to be on the madden cover and it went to Vince Young(I think) instead. Both were hit with it with LT suffering from turf toe and never being the same and VY being benched by Kerry Collins for a season and thinking about retiring from the NFL at a young age because he was depressed.

    I think AP and whoever is going to be on the madden cover will be hurt by it no matter what. If AP does get hurt this season for a long amount of time, don't be surprised.

    Yeah I thought he was hurt to. If he decided to come back this season for the Jets, he would've had to get shoulder surgery.

    I'm sure Manning already had his people to contact EA, and told them to straight up forget about ever contacting him with that cursed Bah Shit.

    Yeah i guess he made the right decision for superstition but to just reject the almighty madden cover especially the year madden retires... It might come back to haunt you

    Can we pray for Brady to be on it? Or maybe Beliprick? Yeah, put a coach on there for the first time :)

    What's so bad about Roethlisberger?

    He's a cool guy and a solid QB. He doesn't talk trash or cause a stir, or laugh at predictions, just does his job...

    I could understand hating Brady, Rivers, Eli, etc...

    Anyway...Their was a rumor that Troy Polamalu and Larry Fitzgerald would be on the cover as per Todd Wright...Strictly rumor.
