Gilligan to Favre: "I Know How You Feel"

Since the beginning of time (1988) there has been Madden Football. A little bit after the dawn of man, (2001) EA Sports decided to change around the Garden of Eden, switching the white-haired, jolly "Adam", for the gladiators themselves.

The rest is history (along with my horrible analogy). Since Eddie Gorge has graced the cover, there have been interceptions, injury's, retirements, dog-fighting, and several other curse-like things. But then retired Brett Favre was selected, and then promptly unretired, then traded to the Jets, not in time for the covers to be changed to reflect the trade. Hence, according to the curse rulebook makes the curse null and void, since the uniform has changed.

Think about it, in the third season of Gilligan's Island the episode "Voodoo", Gilligan was under a curse because the voodoo doll was dressed just like himself. If he had simply ditched the silly hat, the curse would expire.

There it is. The logical end to the Madden Curse. But then again, there is that one episode of the Brady Bunch...
