As expected, bloggers all around the web are having a field day with the cracked bone in Shaun Alexander’s foot which has sidelined him “indefinitely.” The injury is being attributed to the overhyped, yet scarily-accurate Madden Curse, which is simple: If you appear on the cover of John Madden’s video game, you will get injured.

Not a believer? Ask Mike Vick, Marshall Faulk, or Donovan McNabb.

Below, we’ve cobbled together a smorgasbord of links for you to peruse. The first one is absolutely hilarious. The last one, which doesn’t contain much information, is just another reason we’re head-over-heels in love with the internet.

Note to EA Sports – kindly just put a damn football on the cover next year.
