Seen Brady's "No Curse" TV Commercials?

Recommended Posts

I'll guess most of  you have seen the current commercials with Tom Brady nixing any idea of a curse. Now, I don't wish anyone a serious injury but would it not be humorous if Brady suffered an injury at home or away from the field that would no allow him to play this coming season. Again, I don't wish him any harm but a dislocated shoulder while working in his yard might be worth a chuckle in view of his now running commercials.

I'll share a weird story: Several years ago for a college art class, I made a Madden 09 cover with Tom Brady on it:

Madden games are always a year ahead, and the official '09 cover wasn't announced yet, so this was back in '08. Later, in week one of that season, Brady tore his ACL. I thought that was an interesting coincidence, but otherwise, I didn't think much of it. What really spooked me was, later, I realized the player who delivered the hit (Bernard Pollard) was born and raised from Fort Wayne, Indiana -- my home city.

I felt like I had created my own voodoo doll of Brady, and stabbed it. What were the odds of a player born in Fort Wayne playing on a bad Kansas City Chiefs defense getting a season-ending injury against Brady in week 1 on the same year I created a Madden cover? The fact Brady has never missed a game to injury since then makes it even more bizarre. I can't help but laugh at how serious I feel about this, but it's such an insane coincidence that I've never been able to dismiss it to this day.

It is time for you to make a new Brady Madden Cover. :thinking:

Hey you have him yelling too.  :).

 

Wow what a story . . . 

 

Interestingly, I have a story of my own experience of "if it was me" regarding sports but it was hockey and the Boston Bruins.

 

We have the 7th Player award voted on by the fans.   I remember trying to decide between two players one of which was Don Marcotte and another player.  I decided on Marcotte.   When the award was given out it ended up being a tie (only time btw) and remember thinking, "wow, i created the tie as i voted for Marcotte." It was a weird feeling

 

Perhaps they do not need an exact tie in votes, maybe within a handful of votes, but I remember the feeling.

All I know is with Brady on the cover, he and everyone else is talking about "the curse" a little TOOOOOO much.

 

:dunno:

 

I mean the best I think you can do is kinda just ignore the curse thing and let it go. Not make a big deal over it.

 

 

Then again with the NFL all I hear about anymore is really Tom Brady.

I assume we are all ready for the Jimmy G era to start.

 

But most Pats fans say it is impossible since apparently Brady eats magic with his special diet and drinks the blood of angels from heaven.

This forum has a weird obsession with the Pats every year it seems when they're NOT on the Colts schedule....I'd understand fearing them if the Colts had to play them, but this year around, I get to experience that in week 2.

Colts forums have always been addicted to the Patriots.

If you couldn't tell from my name, I am a big believer in Luck (both the thing and the QB).  I respect Brady for his work ethic and self-belief, but this is tempting fate.

 

Breaking mirrors?  Walking under ladders?  The Madden Cover?

 

It's like he is taunting the universe.  Not wise Tom.  This could be an epic fall from grace.  What's that saying about Karma being a...
