Pinch. Poke. You owe me a Coke.
I blogged about the Madden cover jinx earlier today. Todd just found this ESPN article from last week (pre-Vick injury) that goes into all of the recent gaming cover jinxes -- not just the football ones.

If I was a player's agent and they approached me about cover time for my athlete, I think my standard reply would be, "Thanks but not so much..."



Hey boy take a look at me...let me dirty up your mind...



conde nast had a bunch of those a few years ago. whatever lovely tropical resort was on the cover would be obliterated by a hurricane or earthquake right before the issue came out.

I didn't see any mention of the baseball related games. However, I see on Amazon, the MVP Baseball 2003 cover. Randy Johnson has not had his Cy Youung type year and Miguel Tejada is nowhere near his MVP season from last year. High Heat Baseball 2003 cover boy Curt Schilling has had an injury plagued season. Derek Jeter was injuried the first day of the season, however, I can't recall when his All Star Baseball 2004 was released.

I guess for some agents, the money from the game covers more than well make up for the injuries the covers may bring the guys.
