Titans quarterback Vince Young, according to his agent, has been told he’ll appear on the cover of Madden ‘08, the popular football video game that features one NFL star each year.
Whether it’s a coincidence or a curse, however, recent players have been injured the year they appeared on the cover.
“We don’t believe in no jinx,’’ Young's agent agent Major Adams said. “People said when they put Vince on the cover of Sports Illustrated it was going to jinx him in the Rose Bowl game, and (Texas) won the national championship."
Officials from EA Sports wouldn’t confirm Young is this year’s choice for the cover, which will officially be announced on Jimmy Kimmel Live, which airs on ABC Tuesday night at 11 p.m.
“Being on the cover of Madden is such a big honor nowadays, no one ever turns us down because of (the so-called curse), that’s for sure,’’ said Chris Erb, director of marketing for EA Sports.
