The official blog of PFFL
It looks like Vince Young is this year’s victim of the Madden cover curse.
Wikipedia has a great rundown of the prior curse casualties:
1999 – Garrison Heartst
2000 – Barry Sanders and Dorsey Levens
2001 – Eddie George
2002 – Daunte Culpepper
2003 – Marshall Faulk
2004 – Michael Vick
2005 – Ray Lewis
2006 – Donovan McNabb
2007 – Shaun Alexander
I won’t be drafting Young this year…

With slightly less fanfare than the NFL, PFFL released the official 2007 schedule today.
Week 1 features two 14th meetings: The Jedi Masters vs SaaBB and SIAP vs The Hip. Also on tap is the 10th WBM vs Turd matchup.
In week 2, Turd and The Hip meet for the 10th time, WBM and SIAP meet for a 13th go round and The Jedi Masters and Post Mortem play game #16 in their rivalry.
Week 3 leads off with the first ever matchup between SaaBB and Camel Toe, and also includes the first regular season meeting between The Jedis and Double D since 2005.
CSPJ and SaaBB will play in week 4, they last met in 2005. It’s also the first of two meetings between the Jedis and TKD, as well as the 15th ever game between Hedfullalicker and Post Mortem.
In week 5, Post Mortem and Winning Beer Money meet for the first time since 2005, and only the 8th time in their 10 years of joint league play.
Week 6 is the first ever meeting between Camel Toe and DDT.
Week 7 features the first game between Turd Ferguson and The Jedi Masters since week 6 of the 2004 season.
SaaBB and The Hip meet for the 16th time in week 8, while CSPJ plays DDT for the first time since 2005. Most shockingly of all, Tappa Kegga Day will play SIAP for the thirteenth time in the 11-year history of their rivalry, but the first time since 2002!
In week 9, SIAP tries to 6-0 against Kramerica, meeting for the first time since 2004.
Week 10 brings us the first Double D – WBM meeting since 2005 and Hedfullalicker’s first game against SIAP since 2001!
Weeks 11-13 feature division matchups.
In week 14, Kramerica takes on The Hip for the first time since 2005, while Camel Toe and Post Mortem square off for the first time.
It might be a case of the king of over-hype (ESPN) going too far with a relative non-event, but it doesn’t mean I’m not excited.
The NFL will release the full season schedule at Noon (CT) today. ESPN will be covering the event with a special 2 hour SportsCenter this afternoon (while all of us work) and will likely flood their website with detailed breakdowns of the schedule shortly thereafter. That means that by this afternoon, you’ll have to dig a little deeper for the story of the Angels-Indians game in Milwaukee last night.
