Sports (9-23)

Today a few things happened in the sports world.. Plexico Burress.... I am not quite sure what to say..... how in the world are you just going to say nahh i dont wanna go to work today.. after signing a huge contract only a couple weeks ago.you are in the last years of your great career, Its insanity to see such a great player just say no thanks to practice. So a 1 game suspension and 235000$ fine is just fine. I don't care if you really were having a family emergency... yes that's sad but answer the phone from your GM and your coach. then not to even call the day after? totally selfish and uncalled for.
COULD IT BE!!! The madden curse strikes again......
2000: The last year in which madden was on the cover by himself.... Barry Sanders took the cover, only to find out that out of nowhere he abruptly retires. The game had enough time to change cover and go with Dorcey Leavens(GB RB) he then was bothered by a bad left knee the entire season.
2001:Eddie George-Hampered by injury's that year and rushing for a career low. and tipping the ball that got picked and returned for 6 to lose the game in the playoffs.
2002:Dante Culpepper-Knee missed 5 games and he went 4-7 that year.
2003:Marshall Faulk-Ankle.... and didn't rush for 1000 yards after 5 straight 1300 yard seasons.
2004:Mike Vick- Broke his fibula in preseason played 4 games.
2005:Ray Lewis-Torn hamstring.
2006:Donavon McNab. Told reports i don't believe in curse.. then plagued by sports hernia only to play on it, then tear it and have season ending surgery.
2007:Shawn Alexander-Broke a bone in foot missed 6 games. and where is he now?
2008:Vince Young-Pulled Quadriceps... Missed his first game since middle school.... and had a 9td 17 int season....
2009: COULD IT BE!!!! Brett Favre, though expected to start... has an ankle injury that seems to be troubling him pretty bad... but Iron Favre played with a broken thumb on his throwing hand in 2003....
Does the curse exist... that's along list EVERY player on the cover since madden went off in 2000 has had an injury and a bad season...

ps- Twins 1.5 gb the Sox in AL central Go Sox!
