Scratch Peterson From The Madden Curse Watch List

Again, we don’t care much about the question of who’ll be on the cover of the Madden game. But some of you do -- especially those of you who think that the Madden curse is real. Vikings fans wearing the latest line of tin foil Helga horns can relax: Vikings running back Adrian Peterson, one of nine finalists for the “honor,” won’t be on the cover. Per a source with knowledge of the situation, Peterson rejected an offer to appear on the cover several weeks ago. It’s unknown whether any curse or other such voodoo applies to those who say “no” to Electronic Arts.
