For the first time in its storied (some say cursed) history, the cover of EA Sports’ “Madden NFL” video game will feature two cover athletes: Steelers safety Troy Polamalu and Cardinals receiver Larry Fitzgerald. EA’s football franchise is feared for its mysterious “Madden curse”: Previous cover models like Donovan McNabb, Shaun Alexander and Vince Young have suffered injuries during their “Madden” season. Fitzgerald, however, was defiant. “I didn’t think about the curse,” he said. “If both of us have MVP years, everybody will be chomping at the bit to get on the cover.”
