When Cleveland Browns running back Peyton Hillis was selected Madden NFL 12's cover athlete, many football fans thought he was due for an ACL tear. However, Hillis isn't fazed by talk of the "Madden Curse."
“I don’t believe in curses,” Hillis told the NY Times. “I could get hurt next year, but I don’t believe it has anything to do with the curse. I’m a Christian man and I don’t believe anything could be put in front of me that God can’t take away. I would love to prove everyone wrong and have an exceptional year and not get hurt.”
What do you really expect him to say, though? "Shit, I'm screwed next year. Don't draft me for your fantasy team"? I'd imagine that all the players competing for the cover in the tournament agreed to the gig in advance. If he was concerned about the curse, he wouldn't have thrown his hat in the ring.
Hillis might not even get a chance to beat the curse, though. NFL players and owners have yet to agree to a new collective bargaining agreement so there's a risk that next season could be canceled.
