In a new twist to the Madden Curse, VY will probably get suspended for hanging out with Pacman then proceeding to "Make it rain" with a 100,000 copies of the Madden video game...resulting in nashville stripper suffering a concussion.

Peyton Manning is still contractually obligated to that stupid NFL Fever game for the XBox even though it shut down operations five years ago, so that could be part of the reason he wasn't picked.

Wasn't Pacman Jones enough of a curse for us for about 20 years or so? Ugh.

At least Neil O'Donnell's keeping himself in shape down at the Green Hills Y...

Look Vince, you're going to get hurt this year. That's a given. I'm not going to debate it any further. Now, I ask you, would you rather get it during the season, and possibley miss games when your teams need you most, or get it out of the way now?

I can be in Nashville in 72 hours with my sledgehammer. One whack, and you have enough time to recover before training camp starts. I offer this not because I want to hurt you, but to help- you.

You did beat USC in the championship, after all.

Wonderful... Vince now has to deal with the Madden Curse *and* the Chunky Soup curse...

either it doubles the severity of his injury, or it cancels it out. I'm not sure which. Wait - it didn't go so well for McNabb if I recall - uh oh.

VY eats silly curses for breakfast. He beat the SI Cover Jinx (6 times over)- the Madden Curse will suffer the same fate.

Conversation overheard on Titans sideline in week 3 after Vince Young's season-ending ACL tear:

Jeff Fisher: "Hey, who the hell did we get for Billy Volek again?"

Assistant athletic therapist: "Conditional sixth-rounder, Coach Fish."

Fisher: "God dammit. Someone wake up Collins, I guess."

and jimmy kimmel is a professional comedian right? it makes sense that he could take out a blog lady without much sweat.

Jerry Seinfeld might give him trouble. Conan O'Brien would take him out in a verbal debate.

Jay Leno would wack him with his chin if he got out of line. David Letterman would sic his gimp on jimmy.

also, no pantyhose on his head.

therefore, he didn't look like a criminal at all.

@Get Him A Body Bag, Yeah!:

On a gross generalization scale of 1-100, with 100 being the highest, I give your comment a 94. That's a student ID picture, I believe. Has there EVER been a student ID pic where someone didn't look like a criminal? 90% of the time kids are hungover from their first night on campus, and it isn't exactly Ansel Adams taking the photo. I remember I had a massive case of bedhead, puffy/squinty eyes, and my mouth may have been drooped open a little.
