The Madden curse has already struck one of the two cover athletes for Madden 10. While Troy Palamalu has felt the sting of Madden fame, Larry Fitzgerald is still waiting to be stricken down by the Madden gods. The idea of the Madden curse has gone so far that now an official betting website has taken up a pool to predict Fitzgerald's fall. If you happen to pick the week when he gets injured, you'll win yourself some dough. That is, if he does get hurt. Whether that's the impact of the Madden curse or just bad luck will never be known!
