“If there was such a thing (as a curse), you couldn’t ask for a better man to prove that wrong than who we’ve got this year. He (Madden NFL 13 cover star Calvin Johnson) might be as close to indestructible as we’ve ever had on the cover. Maybe I shouldn’t say that...that might…I’m not going to talk about that any more.” - John Madden

Oh man, those are some brave words! I guess if anyone can beat out the Madden curse, it's the man that unknowingly created it!
