Vince Young may have just ruined his 2007 season

I don’t really know if I believe in this supposed Madden Curse. Sure, countless cover boys have found themselves on the sidelines with injuries. (See: Marshall Faulk, Daunte Culpepper, Michael Vick, Donovan McNabb and Shaun Alexander.) But, I mean, they play football. It’s a physical game, or so I’ve heard.

Anyways, yesterday the blogosphere was abuzz with the anti-LT cover campaign. Well, it looks like their efforts have paid off. According to the Nashville City Paper, Vince Young will be Madden’s newest cover boy.

Tennessee Titans quarterback Vince Young will be on the cover of the EA Sports Madden 2008 video game.

A source with knowledge of the situation confirmed Young’s gracing the cover of the game to The City Paper. Efforts to reach EA Sports were unsuccessful on Monday.

An official announcement is expected on Tuesday and Young will appear on “Jimmy Kimmel Live” as part of the kickoff promotion for the newest version the popular NFL video game that is endorsed by NFL Hall of Fame coach and analyst John Madden.

At this point — curse or no curse — I’m not sure why any player would want to even test the Madden waters. Although, I’m sure they probably get paid some money and they get to have their visage on a video game cover, which is pretty sweet.

I mean, I’ve never been on the cover of anything. Unless you count that one time I feel asleep with Highlights under my head. Technically, I was on the cover for a good eight hours. Think about it.
