Odds out on the Madden 08 cover curse
Bodog has posted odds on whether Madden NFL 08 cover athlete Vince Young will fall victim to the famed cover curse. Bodog deems that missing two consecutive regular season games due to injury constitutes the curse coming to fruition yet again. The favorite is 'Yes' (that he will miss at least the two straight games). Currently 'Yes' is at -140 meaning you would need to bet $14 to win $10. 'No' is sitting at even odds. {democracy:3}...

An early look at where NBA Live 08 is headed
IGN has posted up an interview with EA Sports NBA Live 08 Producer Brian Ulrich. The intention of the interview was to present the direction that the franchise is headed, not necessarily reveal new features. The build of the game was at a very early point in development, and a majority of the time was spent simply discussing some of the problems found in Live 07 and what the team was doing to correct them. Some noteable information to come out of the interview: The game will run at 60...

What to think of the Vince Young choice?
Taking a look at the decision to put Vince Young on the cover of Madden NFL 08, initially I figured the reaction would be split and it has been. He is an exciting player that helped lead his team to wins but he only has the rookie year under his belt and his numbers paled in comparison to some other stars.
