Drew Brees on Madden 08 cover?

A brief history about the cover of Madden Football:

2000: Madden himself was on the cover and on the background was Barry Sander who announced retirement right away.

2001: Eddie George who was hampered by injuries and never the same again.

2002: Daunte Culpepper suffered a knee injury and missed final five games.

2003: Marshall Faulk underperformed for a below 1000 yds rushing season because of an injured ankle. And the Rams missed a playoff with 7-9 record.

2004: Michael Vick who suffered a fractured right fibula and played only 5 games.

2005: Ray Lewis underperformed and hurted the last game of the season and tore a hamstring the next season.

2006: Donovan McNabb bothered by a hernia injury throughout the season.

2007: Shaun Alexander suffered a foot injury this year.

Personally, I don't believe this curse but the trend is very entertaining.
