Dead Man Walking

Just when I was starting to like Titans QB Vince Young, his agent announces that the young passer will grace the cover of next year's Madden Football video game.

Enter the Madden Cover Curse.

The cover of that video game is one of the better known curses in sports right now. Every year, for nine years in a row, the player featured on the cover has had an injury or setback that hampered his play.

Now Vince Young is up against the curse. It won't be easy, second-year quarterbacks are known to struggle anyway, but I could understand why a player would avoid this "honor." And I don't really believe in curses!
