Dallas Clark next to get hit by Madden curse

For a long time, it was thought that there was a cover jinx if a player was on the cover of Sports Illustrated. Then it was thought that there was a cover jinx if a player was on the cover of the popular Madden video games, something we talked about on November 14th. Now, the curse with Madden may have gone a bit further. There is a commercial (seen below)for Madden 2007 that features Dallas Clark, tight end from the Indianapolis Colts, getting “JACKED UP” by Brian Dawkins and Darren Howard of the Philadelphia Eagles. Clark was not too happy about the way he was portrayed in the commercial, but then again it was just a commercial. Then last Sunday rolls around and Clark’s Colts hosted the Eagles. Same teams, same venue as the commercial, and it ended up being the same result. Clark left the field with a knee injury. Hopefully for his sake this injury was not a season ending injury, but if it was, Dallas Clark will have alot of time to sit around. Maybe he will spend some of that time playing Madden!
