Vince Young, the Titan's QB who had a breakout rookie year in 2006 to guide his team to a respectable 8-8 record, has been chosen as the cover athlete for the EA Sports Madden '08 video game cover. We caught up with Vince to find out his reaction to the news. "I was just shocked it happened so soon. But I'm really excited. For me, it's been a lifelong dream to be on the cover of Madden. It's the whole reason I played this stupid sport, really. It's been my motivation all these years. People automatically assume my goals have been what everybody else wants. To be one of the best QBs ever, to win a championship, to break records. But not me. It was always about getting on a video game cover. And Madden is the Academy Award of video game covers. I guess I can retire now, since I've accomplished my biggest goal. There's really nothing else for me to do...that I care about anyway."
Young was then asked about the popular and controversial question of the 'cover curse', and whether he believes it. "Curse, psshhhhttt, nah, I don't believe in no curse." The interview was then interrupted by a light fixture falling in the background, missing Young's head by inches. "Wow, that was weird," was the reaction from Young as he continued. "Superstitions aren't really my thing. Sometimes I wear the same socks, but that's just because I'm caught in the middle of a laundry cycle...hold up, hold up, nose bleed...." Vince Young ended the interview there to tend to a sudden bloody nose, tripping over a ladder and spraining his ankle on the way out of the studio. He should be ready in time for the Titan's minicamp in June. Should be...
