Madden 2007 cover athlete!

Got that right. Why can't they just draft something temporary to extend the cap? Save revenue sharing arguments for later.

well, we're going to suck without a new cba, madden cover or not ;)
and I was hoping to get away from some cba talk haha. it spreads worse than bird flu.

Because that would be the right thing to do, and why do the right thing when you can be wrong.

Bets open on Madden cover star

Online gambling house WagerWeb is taking money on next year's cover athlete for Madden 2007.

We may only be through week 13 of the 17-week regular season of the NFL, but one online gambling site, WagerWeb (http://tinyurl.com/7nyug), is already looking at next year's football games. The site is taking real-money bets on who will grace the cover of next year's Madden NFL game. The odds-on favorite is Colts QB Peyton Manning, at -200 ($200 down to win $100), followed by Bengals chucker Carson Palmer (+200--$100 down to win $200) and Seahawks touchdown machine Shaun Alexander (+400--$100 down to win $400). If that weren't enough, further money can be placed on whether the 2007 cover athlete will fall victim to the Madden cover curse and miss consecutive games due to injury next season.

thats horrible, but funny at the same time.

This is just a rumor. There was a thread over at ES about it too. Basically there has been some promotional advertisements for it with Portis on the cover, but also some with Steve Smith & others. They did the same thing last year with Tom Brady during the pre-order times, then officially announced it to be D. McNabb later. I'd be very surprised if CP is actually the cover.

I couldn't believe in the curse but year after year... WTF the eagles sucked after the post superbowl thing and mcnabb on the cover. I like the respect but i don't like the curse

Its just a rumor any way. When was the last time we were given any respect

I've heard this rumor too but I haven't heard anything official.

I would prefer he not be on the cover simply because of the dreaded curse. Has anyone actually had a good or healthy season when on the cover?

Ray Lewis had a pretty decent season, but that's about it. It pretty much started the end of the good part of Eddie George's career. Culpepper was terrible. Faulk got hurt. Vick broke his leg. Then, Ray had a decent season, but he got hurt at the end of the year and they missed the playoffs. Most recently, there was Donovan...we all know how that turned out.

I thought they might go with Steve Smith, alexander, or palmer so I know I'm really suprised with the pick of Portis if it winds up being true, but it also makes a bit of sense because of how much the media was talking about him the last month and a half of the league because of his media day personas.
