RIP Madden Curse, 1998-2007. You’ve left a slew of former greats in your wake: Marshall Faulk, Eddie George, Daunte Culpepper, Michael Vick, Donovan McNabb and Shaun Alexander. Well, no more- because much like Matt Leinart and the ’05 Trojans, you’re about to get shredded by Longhorn hottie Vince Young. He’s defeated much stronger opposition than you, including (but not limited to): Michigan, Oklahoma, USC, Ohio State, the NFL Draft, the Texans, the Colts, Merrill Hoge, communism, and evil everywhere… not to mention the SI Cover Jinx (six times). Farewell, Madden Curse! It’s been real, and it’s been fun- but it hasn’t been real fun.
Over/Under, 6 games started by Vince Young this season
Vince is not bothered by your pedestrian taunts. He laughs at them.
Good luck to VY, hope he breaks that curse.
Wait- do you say “good luck” or “break a leg”? Or neither?
Let’s just say – “go out there and have a great season!”
I hope he does too, he is too fun to watch to lose to the curse. Because we all know Vince Young just wins football games.
okay – who broke deadspin?
I replied to you metschick, then it died…so it may have been me…
Metschick- why are you always at the scene of the crime when DS gets broken? Coincidence… I think not!
TG: i know. I’m starting to think DUAN has a problem with me…
stoopid nibbles.
Frackin Nibbles always has to ruin a good thing.
Alright, Nibbles got off his ass, and is running again.
Sure… and Cowher didn’t tank after being on the cover of EA’s Head Coach either.
This is a smart move… Get a rising star, rather than an established presence, with several good years & much wear-&-tear already on his resume. It’s less likely he’ll break down in his video-game cover year, then.
I heart VY.
(Can you still buy those shirts in Texas?)
They sure do…

Metschick used “frack!” Metschick used “frack!” Does she watch BSG like me?
No, I don’t. I picked it up from TWOP. Since Baby Mets is parroting everything I say, I’m on trying to clean up any dirty language.
It’s a great day in the Republic of Texas, that’s for danged sure. Vince Young is my baby daddy!
I think the best TG can hope for is that this retroactively applies to Vince’s wonderlic test score.
TSW: and next year, Belichick will be on the cover of NFL Head Coach, descending the Patriots into consecutive 6-10 seasons. Pray to the good Lord that VY doesn’t tear an ACL against the Jaguars or something.
You go, TX girl…
Vince Young ain’t scared of no fat white man video game voo-doo hex.
Step aside, Peyton Manning, LT…we got this.
Vince Young is so huge!! I adore that huge Longhorn of Hotness. I would not mind seeing if little Tommy Zbikowski trying to take Vince down. I don’t think he could do it, but I love to see it. They both could try and take me down off the field.
