Don’t get played by black magic.
Michael Vick broke a leg after gracing Madden’s cover. Troy Polamalu hurt his knee. Peyton Hillis pulled a hammy. Calvin Johnson is on the cover this time—of Madden NFL 13! Is Megatron doomed? Not if he follows the advice of our distinguished panel of hexperts.

The Cure: “He should hire someone from a good botanica or hoodoo shop to break the curse. Everyone believes in magic subconsciously. Once that’s in place, odds are he will be OK.” -John M. Greer, Grand archdruid
The Cure: “There are reversals and removals. But I would hate for an inexperienced individual to read a curse-hex removal or reversal. Bad things might come their way.”-Psychic Amanda, Indigo spiritualist
The Cure: “I’m gonna take a bottle of Rebel Yell bourbon to my totem spirit, a.k.a. Ole Satan, as an offering. He loves that bourbon. I guarantee he will lift the Madden curse for good!”-Doktor Snake, Voodoo priest
