Just for the sake of being contrary...maybe Favre will be the one to "break" the curse. Maybe his comeback was planned by EA. If he plays for another team he is not really representing his box-art namesake the same, therefore tricking the the system and reversing the curse! Then next year (and all following) EA is free to put whatever "next big thing" player they feel like on the cover without fear of a curse bringing them down. All this thanks to Brett Farve...not just a cheese-head hero anymore
or...he breaks his leg, ends his consecutive game streak, get hooked on the painkillers perscribed for the leg, drowns his sorrow in alcohol, shames his family, then spends his life in a halfway house muttering incoherent lines about frozen tundras and pass interference.
Either way, someone is Wisconsin will be cheering for him
