Retired(?) quarterback Brett Favre has been chosen to grace the cover of EA Sports Madden 2009 football video game.
Fuck him.
Everyone knows that there is a “Madden Curse” attached to the person that is on the cover each year. Although usually in the form of injuries or minor maladies, the curse is real and IT WILL strike Favre sometime in 2008.
Here are my top 5 potential curses for Brett Favre:
5. Hometown of Kiln, MS is completely wiped out by Hurricane Ditka, a powerful tropical storm that also collects 8.5 sacks in limited playing time in 2009 for the Bears.

4. Favre accidentally shoots himself in the foot while hunting on his family ranch. Upon admittance to the hospital, staff informs Favre that local government has banned doctors from giving pain pill prescriptions. No vicodin, no codeine, no percs, nothing.

3. Favre returns to football to play for the Green Bay Packers. Since the Packers plan to start Aaron Rodgers this year and recently drafted Brian Brohm, Packers GM Ted Thompson decides to trade Favre to the Detroit Lions. Ouch. Is that a burn on the Lions franchise? Yeah, I think it is.

2. Favre spontaneously combusts as the result of over-fellation from the media. While watching his jersey be retired on Monday Night Football, the Favre suck-off continues at a rapid rate of 7.3 praise-filled comments per minute. The sensory overload and self-gratification causes Favre to explode.

1. In a freak commercial shoot accident similar to the Pepsi-Jacko hair on fire fiasco, Favre tries on a pair of one-size too small Wrangler jeans. The tight fit cuts off the circulation to his balls and he needs emergency surgery to restore life down below.
