The real issue that is highlighted by this is how short most NFL careers really are. And living up to expectations after having a personal best season is an incredibly hard thing to do both mentally and physically. Especially as teams learn to plan around and stop you and your body starts to take more hits as a hits since you are a much higher usage player.

[@ThatSockmonkey]

I know, right? Like, to get the cover of Madden, you've got to be at the top of your game. It's not surprising to me that injuries happen to people who are playing professional sports, and the best players play the most games. How many other players with similar game time/career records had career ending injuries around the same time but weren't on a video game cover? Top level athletes suffer serious, sometimes career ending injuries. That's sports, not a curse.

[@8dot23]

The ankle injury didn't force Garrison Hearst into retirement, he was forced to miss the 1999 and 2000 seasons. He came back in 2001 and made the Pro Bowl, also winning Comeback Player of The Year.

Honestly the Antonio Brown situation as a Steelers fan I think the curse only coated what was already wrong. The real curse started when Vontez Burfict slammed AB with his shoulder pad in the wildcard matchup om January 2016. After that he just wasn't the same. Didn't really smile, laugh, talk to ben about routes and touchdowns plus throwing Gatorade jugs and throwing tempers over nothing. He was already cursed before he was on the cover of madden XD

[@invest-i-gator8896]

I think the reason this coincidence happens is when an NFL player gets on the madden game they get confident, they feel on top of the world, since they are on the madden cover it means they were picked for being one of the best. That is why I conclude that the NFL curse is not real and it affects people on the cover of madden because they make dangerous decisions in games because of their supposed greatness. Also 74 percent is not good considering most of the athletes all the way from madden 17 are still fine today.

As an OSU fan (we’re Barry Sanders went to college) I think the reason Barry left is because the lions only made the playoffs only once with him. He was also a franchise tag so he couldn’t leave. He probably wanted to be traded and when the lions said no he just said I quit.

I really don’t know much about football but my theory is that the players who make it on the cover are the ones who have already put a lot of stress on their body to get to where they are and probably continue the habit of over working themselves in both practices and in games to maintain their stats leading to a greater injury risk. Also the opposing team might come after them harder than anyone else knowing that they pose the biggest risk of scoring. The nfl already has a high injury percentage even compared to other sports so I just think it’s possible that the ones on the covers the players striving to be the best are seeing the worst of these injuries.

it did affect him bc he hurt his hand that year and he threw a good bit of interceptions

[@vspsteelers]

What about gronk

[@hunterwhitman4201]

Before watching that bills vs ravens game I had some respect for Micah Hyde, but when I saw him point out Lamar being injured, I gained so much more respect for him

[@brittonh88]

I think he was trying to get an intentional grounding penalty not pointing out the injury

[@CCFrost]

@@brittonh88 pretty sure he was pointing out the injury. But that’s just because even through his Iowa Hawkeyes days, he was always a good guy on and off the field. It just seems like looking out for Lamar is something he’d do.

[@djwooshuu8859]

Growing up watching Barry Sanders in the 90's I was surprised he left the game when he did. Reports from ESPN back then was Detroit refused to trade him. His desire was to win. He didn't care about records or celebrating touchdowns. The Lions were not in position to compete for the super bowl so he retired. He was done losing. The Dolphins tried to get him in a trade and Detroit refused.

[@jacksonsmith5864]

you definitely forgot Calvin Johnson. He didn't have one career ending injury but he definitely suffered many injuries that caused him to retire a bit early. you could have said that that was a result of the madden curse

[@calebschmutzler9010]

He left the ones who retired in their prime

This happens in FIFA too, for example FIFA 17 Rues was on the cover and then a couple weeks later he got badly injured and could not play for 4 months.

[@syn3393]

Now in 2022 Tom Brady got a divorce. I feel like the curse is getting to him now

[@idontcarebricks8253]

Eddie George delt with knee injury and in the following years was decreasing in talent, Brett Favre sucked after his time on the Jets and delt with women claiming he sent bad pics, Calvin had a great year except for TDs (only 5) but his team sucked and from there on out he played 3 more season and slowly decreased in talent and ended his carrer because of how bad his team was, Richard Sherman broke or fractured his arm in the playoffs and because of that they lost the super bowl, Brady hurt his hand in the days leading up to the super bowl and was constantly dealing with media drama all year, and Mahomes hurt his leg but still came out of it good. So everyone was effected some sorta way. Calvin, George, and Mahomes where probably the least effected.

[@zhoward]

Well Shaun Alexander was never the same guy after his cover year. Richard Sherman got traded and lost the super bowl. Brett Favre retired the year after his cover. Tom Brady lost the super his cover year. Mahomes just lost the super bowl. Calvin Johnson retired. It had effected everyone

Mahomes is the man who avoided the curse, other than that injury that never affected him, he won the super bowl that year and could’ve won it this past year if the entire o line starters weren’t on IR Next year we win again Mahomes is a god

[@AVSFAITHFUL25]

@@nadanican Tom Brady is one hell of a player I’ll give him that but um that nearly scored touchdown was on Darrol Williams not on Mahomes, Lemme take you back to when he had a oline down 24-0 to the Texans his team isn’t trying then 28-24 in 10:24, ok look the Defense contributed to but Um it took nearly the whole 2nd half to come back from 28-3 my point is he’s Dan Marino and his arm and Joe Montana’s/Tom Bradys clutch gene

[@nadanican]

@@AVSFAITHFUL25 I can see Dan Marino's power, but I still don't think he can get near the power people like Montana and Brady have/had, in the way of clutch or arm.

[@coo3disk1]

You can't skip cover athletes, 2001 Eddie George went down as his team lost to the Ravens and he was never the same afterwards, 2013 Calvin Johnson just literally quit when everyone thought he survived, 2015 Richard Sherman got hurt at least 3 times after he was on the cover, 2018 Tom Brady's team lost to the Eagles who they should have beaten that year, 2020 Patrick Mahommes got hurt that season and the curse is always active, Madden cover affects your whole career & life afterwards, not just you getting injured or etc.

The way the o line who played so historically dominant would forget how to snap the ball and pass pro for Lamar Jackson HAD to be the madden curse. They dominated a good buffalo defense uo and down the field and would snap it poorly in the redzone.😢🤧☠️

Barry’s last year was 1998. The last game in 1997 I truly believe Reggie Browns injury scared Barry into retirement.

[@yea7291]

Just no, it’s Barry he just didn’t want to play anymore. Watch Barry sanders football life then you will get it

[@beatndagutta]

First of all Barry Sanders just didn’t disappear. He wanted to leave the Lions, but the organization wouldn’t let him go and he had six years left on his contract. He was told that you either play for the Lions or you can retire so he just retired. He was only 1500 yards away from breaking the NFL rushing record with more years to go left in his career. I blame the Lions and Wayne fonts for Barry Sanders, retiring, which is the biggest travesty in NFL history because he would’ve destroyed the rushing record in Emmett Smith wouldn’t be on the top like he thinks he should be.

There is a similar thing in Football (Soccer) in the Premiership each month the "Manager of the Month" award is given, almost every time, the manager that gets the award then loses the next game (not every time, but enough that its described as a curse)

[@goatedantman7734]

I’ve always believed in the curse since the early ‘00’s. When’s he reading the names, I’m like, “yup. Yup. Yup. Haha, I remember that. Oh man, yes. Haha. Yup” I believed in the curse so much that I wanted to see specific players on there.

[@wyattalbert7617]

Ok brown had cte during the 2015 afc playoffs when they were playing against the bengals so there’s no way that the curse can happen before. This cte thing happened during a shot to the head of brown. Also cte makes a persons mood change and he even stated that he wasn’t the man he was before. For example he would get in fights with players and he wouldn’t play his best. But the other problems I do understand.

AB’s life changed after the Burfict hit not the Madden cover. PS the helmet he wore that day saved his life. I’d wanna wear it too
