Brett Favre on Madden 09 Cover

Early reports state that Brett Favre, recently retired quarterback of the Green Bay Packers, surefire Hall of Famer, and man-crush of acclaimed football announcer John Madden, will grace the cover of his game this year. Favre's appearance on the game will mark the 20th anniversary of the Madden franchise.

Favre, who appears on David Letterman tonight, is expected to make the announcement during the show.

I'll finish this one with an open-ended question: what does the Madden curse have in store now? Has Favre doomed the entire Green Bay Packers franchise? Will he encounter horrible luck in the next year? Or, more ironically, are the Packers now fated to win the Super Bowl without him?

Okay, I'll bite. Favre is a playable character using a special cheat code and when he scores....it involves Madden, Favre, and a birthday suit.

And when you enter the code you get to hear the Clash's "Should I stay or should I go now?"

He jinxes madden, because Farve is Jinx proof. Madden dies this year and the game gets renamed sunday night football.

That's so disappointing. Usually it's actually someone still relevant in the game of football, someone actually good. I was hoping for Shawne Merriman so he could tear his ACL and be all like, "The lights are out for the season."

Wait so did anyone stay up and watch Letterman last night to see if he announced it? I think I half asleep heard them talking about it this morning but all he was talking about was whether he was really going to retire or not.

Turns out, I know what I'm doing sometimes :) This article was in no way a jest - though I guess it easily could have been perceived that way.
