Brett Favre Trade: Finally! Do I Smell Madden Curse?

With all the good things this NFL season, the Brett Favre trade was not one of them. Matter of fact, Brett Favre coming back from retirement has taken over the NFL news it has gotten somewhat annoying. Plus, with his eager return, do I smell a Madde curse for this season?

Before we get to the Madden curse, let’s just get this Brett Favre trade talk done and over with. Favre and the Packers couldn’t come up with an agreement due mainly to his indecisiveness of staying retired or not. Well, the Packers moved on and Brett Favre’s selfishness is finally done; he’s going to play… for the New York Jets.

The Green Bay Packers finally reached an agreement yesterday to trade Favre to the Jets. And the ugly split between the two is finally over.

Now Brett Favre re-returning from retirement on various occasions has gotten him on the cover Madden 2009 football game. Now if history plays out, being on the Madden videogame cover isn’t as great as it seems. A majority of people who appear on the cover end up having a terrible season or worse, injured.

Could the Madden curse affect the Brett Favre trade and re-returning from retirement? Well, since the Jets aren’t going to make the playoffs, I think Favre should be extremely careful.

And if he has a horrible season or gets injured, I guess the Madden curse lives on, huh?

Brett Favre Crying at Retirement

Brett Favre is a flip-flopper. He’s been saying he is going to retire every single year for the past few years, but then he keeps changing his mind. And it seems as though the Green Bay Packers are trying to move on without him, and they have every right to.

With all the flip-flopping and the Packers already headed towards a future without him, Favre has demanded a trade so he can play for another team.

Now, if you ask me, Brett Favre is the selfish one. He’s like the spoiled brat that always wants to get attention and his own way. I mean, he hyped up his retirement for the past few years and honestly, it’s getting pretty annoying.

Once he committed to his retirement after last season, he cried (even though he always seems to cry), EA sports decided to put him on the cover of Madden ’09, the Packers started building their franchise around their 2005 first-round pick in Aaron Rodgers and now he wants to get released so he can play for another team for yet another season?!
