Madden Curse Strikes Again

Monday September 25, 2006
Dear John,

You and that darn game just don't know when to quit, do you?

First it was Barry Sanders dropping off the face of the football landscape by suddenly retiring. Then you single-handedly struck down the likes of Michael Vick, Donovan McNabb, and Ray Lewis on your way to claiming this year's victim of the Madden Curse, Shaun Alexander.

Because of you, the league's reigning MVP is now sitting on the shelf for at least two weeks with a cracked bone in his foot. You are merciless. Thanks a lot!

Sincerely,
The Chicago Bears
