There are some of you out there who might be worried about something called the Madden Curse.

There's no such things as curses. It's a total myth, okay? I feel like you're not really getting it.

See? All good. No curse. All good.

985, the sports, sober touch, and rich, the previous CBS Sportsman.

It was brought to by Santander Bank.

And that is the hysterical madden commercial that has just been released featuring Tom Brady.

He's playing with dark forces that he can't even comprehend right now.

He is, uh, they call it the Madden curse.

It's affected many people that have been on the cover of the Madden game.

Mm-hmm.

I don't know quite.

He turns down apparently all this advertising.

I have no idea.

Did he do Stetson? Uh, there was, is the dogs? When he was holding that little goat? That might have been. I might have been with the goats. I don't think he would do Stetson again. No, it's now. It's like he picks these things very carefully. Stetson might have been the Tara Reid years. Yeah. Doesn't that fit? Yeah, actually. Yeah, that was probably before he was this biggest star. But it seems like, you know, this is something that someone of his stature would not do, not because of any curse, just because it was, it's just, what does he need, the money? Oh, you're talking about the Madden thing? Yeah. See, I disagree. I think Madden is the ultimate honor. It's not an honor. Sure it is. You're on the cover of Madden. All right. Go look up the last 28, uh, Madden. I mean, Grancowski was on it last year. and I think it wasn't Richard Sherman on it one year. Yeah, but I don't, I mean, that's no great honor. I mean, yeah, sure it is. I mean, it's like you are, I think that that makes. So it's just occurring to people that he's good. Wouldn't Brady be on the cover of most Maddens if it was the best player? I mean, the idea that this is his first. I don't think it's an honor for him at all. Let's go back. Brady Grunkowski, Odell Beckham, Richard Sherman, Barry Sanders, and Adrian Peterson, Calvin Johnson, Peyton Hillis. I mean, these are big other than Peyton Hillis. These are all huge names. They're big names, but Tom Brady doesn't need the money.

It's no honor to him.

He has five Super Bowls.

It doesn't need the money, but I mean, it's not like something that's not prestigious. He's not doing something for like, you know, checky's pickles or something. Out of all his things that he has accomplished, I would hardly put this up as prestigious. I would say that this is a, if you are an athlete, if you're in the NFL, a player, this is a top five endorsement.

This is a top five most desirable endorsement is being on the cover of Madden.

Troy Palomalo and Larry Fitzgerald.

Wow.

Yeah, that was a saying that was after they played each other in the Super Bowl.

Brett Favre Vince Young, Sean Alexander.
