Madden Curse Reversed

I'm calling it: The Madden curse has been lifted.

Maybe the Football Gods misfired when they sent Bernard Pollard crashing into Tom Brady's left knee and leaving him with a season-ending anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) tear.
Was that bit of misfortune intended for fellow AFC East offensive general Brett Favre?

At this point, it seems as if all quarterbacks are getting a dose of damnation; perhaps the Football Gods are angry at their erroneous dispatching of Brady and taking it out on the rest of the league. For example:

• Brody Croyle will miss a week with a shoulder injury.
• Cowboys QB Tony Romo took one on the chin in their Week 1 win.
• Chad Pennington was forced to endure a loss at the hands of his old team.
• Titans QB Vince Young has something wrong with him.
• Jeff Garcia's ankle is questionable for next week.
• Peyton Manning ended Sunday night with a lower QB rating than Kyle Orton.
• The Rams' Marc Bulger looked as bad as he ever has in Week 1.

So look out, NFL quarterbacks. The odds are against you; if Brady can't be healthy, no one is safe.
