1. My son is sick about this...and yet also has his pre-order in.

This is one he won't be opening.

3. He will pick up a used copy later on but wants to keep this one in its wrapper.

I keep teasing him about the curse. I almost had him talked into voting for Cam.

10. There are no curses

The supposed Madden Jinx can be explained by regression to the mean. They usually put someone on a cover such as SI when they're at there height in the career. When it comes to Madden, the injury rate is high in football so that can explain some of the injuries. Since Calvin Johnson had a career high in touchdowns, receptions, and yards he'll probably get 73 catches, 1,174 yards, and 10 touchdowns. Or he'll continue to play at a 2011 level but if he doesn't, it can easily be explained with regression to the mean.

It's a good thing that I'm not superstitious

8. Not to have anyone get hurt, but I could hope for a broken leg for him in pre-season couldn't I???

Sorry!! and I really don't mean any harm, but d*mn he's a thorn in the Packer's side. GO PACKERS GO.

9. I just hope the Vikings can find someone to

at least slow him down two games a year. Last year it looked like he and Stafford were playing pitch-and-catch against the Purple "defense."
