Brady does turn 40 in August, so Father Time might also aid the curse to do its thingBrady follows last year's Madden cover player, teammate Rob Gronkowski, who missed the postseason after landing on injured reserve -- adding credence to the notion of the so-called Madden Curse that started in 1999, when the first player to appear, San Francisco 49ers running back Garrison Hearst, broke his ankle in a playoff loss to Atlanta.
"I don't think Gronk's ever been cursed by anything," Brady countered. "He's in pretty good shape."
But Brady acknowledged that in accepting the EA honor, he might've added an opponent to the 2017 schedule.
"I suppose there's been some reality to that curse over the years," Brady conceded. "Hopefully I can break it. That would be pretty cool."

Really wanted to get this version to have Trubisky as a rookie on the Bears. But I'm a guy who will not buy a version of a video game based on who's on the cover. Yeah, I'm that picky.

I know HATE is a strong word, but if I was able to piss kerosene and the entire patriots organization was on fire, I would pay for the plane ticket across the country to piss on them.
