Tom Brady graces the cover of “Madden NFL 18,” stylishly tagged the “G.O.A.T. Edition.”
And while it’s considered cool by some to be the cover boy of the video game, it’s also an unwanted distinction by many because of a so-called “Madden curse” that’s followed many of the recipients.
Brady, however, scoffs at the notion of any curse.
“I’ve heard there are some of you out there that are worried about the Madden curse,” Brady says in a video released to commemorate the Madden honor. “There’s no such thing as curses. It’s a total myth.”
To illustrate the point, Brady, the oldest player to ever appear on the cover of the long-running EA Sports series, proceeds to smash a mirror and walk under a ladder.
