indeed.. broken foot. Did eddie george get hurt or did he just have a bad year?

Stick a fork in the Seahawks. They might still win 10 games with an assist from their crappy division, but they won't go very far in the playoffs without him.

Maurice Morris is no slouch, I see another Larry Johnson scenario myself. Guess who I just picked up in both of my FFL's

You will never see Tom Brady on the cover of Madden.

After this year they will be lucky to get Kerry Collins to agree to be on the cover!!

Eddie George had a career year when he was on the Madden cover, after him everyone got hurt....Faulk, Culpepper, Vick, Ray lewis, McNabb, Alexander......................

No, he didn't. He cracked 100 yards ONCE all season (the second to last game of the year). Also,

Madden 2001 cover: Eddie George, Titans RB

Before cover: The Titans reached the Super Bowl the prior season and George had gone to three consecutive Pro Bowls.

After cover: George made the Pro Bowl in 2000, but averaged 3.2 yards per carry in 2001 and 2002 and the Titans haven't been back to the Super Bowl.

The Seahawks will be fine... Alexander will miss a few weeks and will just be returning to full strength for the last half of the season. The Seahawks have a pretty good team without Alexander.

Word now is he may not even miss a game, though I'd expect Seattle to rest him this week with the bye coming up next week.

Unusual to see an 18 year old thread with no one banned.

Maybe the Madden curse is overrated,
