Madden Curse! #43 MCL Sprain
And the Madden curse continues...
Troy Polamalu suffered an MCL sprain late in the first half when Alge Crumpler rolled on his knee. Out 3-6 weeks.

Re: Madden Curse! #43 MCL Sprain
Larry Fitzgerald bound to be listed as questionable at some point this year...

Re: Madden Curse! #43 MCL Sprain
If they're smart they'll sit him out for 8-10 weeks. Nothing worse than having a dinged up player play timid.

Re: Madden Curse! #43 MCL Sprain
Sucks for them. I hate the Steelers, but Polamalu is an amazing player.
On that note, did anyone see Titans TE Bo Scaife get hit on the knees by James Harrison? That was initially called a knee sprain, but I thought you could get flagged for going right at a guy's knees. |

Re: Madden Curse! #43 MCL Sprain
That's sad to see. Polamalu is one of the more exciting players to watch. His one handed interception last night was pretty sick

Re: Madden Curse! #43 MCL Sprain
Coincidence has once again added fuel to the idea of the 'Madden curse." Ugh.

2001 Eddie George - No performance drop-off or injury. 2002 Culpepper - Knee injury missed last 5 games of season. QB rating down from 98% to 83.3%. TD passes down from 33 to 14 2003 Faulk - 2002 was his first season in 5 years under 1000 yds rushing. Rams go 7-9. Foot and ankle injuries toward end of season. 2004 Vick - Leg injury, out for most of season 2005 Ray Lewis (Defensive Player) - In the 2005 season injured in week 6, out for season. 2006 McNabb - 4-5 record as starter. QB rating down from 104 to 85. Season ending injury. 2007 Alexander - Injury, huge decline in performance 2008 Vince Young - Booed off field, hasn't returned to Titans as starter. 2009 Favre - Record down from 13-3 to 9-7. QB rating down from 95 to 81. Left GB. Lost 4 out of 5 final games capped off with a 3 INT performance in the final game of season. Probably cost "Man-genius" his job. 2010 Polamalu - MCL sprain 2010 Fitz - TBD Here' a rule of thumb; happens once = $hit happens, happens twice = coincidence, happens three times = trend. So what have we learned today. 1) The Madden Curse is real 2) It didn't start until Madden 2002 3) It has a 1 year delay on defensive players in odd years. :cool-smil Isn't learning fun.

Re: Madden Curse! #43 MCL Sprain
You know he led the team in tackles last night, and had 1 amazing INT. I know the mantra, one goes down another steps up, but that has to hit their D hard.

Re: Madden Curse! #43 MCL Sprain
What about all the injuries that happen to players that are not on the cover? Is that the "not-madden-curse"?
