And in this year's edition of the Madden Curse, the cover boy isn't even starting the season on the team he's pictured with.
Of course, everyone assumed he wouldn't be a Packer when the cover was decided upon, but it was widely believed he'd be behind a broadcast desk or selling steaks in Wisconsin when this season started, and not in Jets green.
I think we'll all agree we're glad he's finally somewhere, so the speculation can stop dominating the national NFL coverage we've been craving for months. The 24-hour Brett coverage will continue I'm sure, but at least the drama will subside a little.
