Will Madden Cover Curse Strike Luis Castillo?

The curse of the Madden Cover has been well-documented over time. In fact, it was implied over the weekend that the jinx had struck Titans quarterback Vince Young, who appeared on the cover of the game this year. What's gone overlooked however, is that there is more than one version of the game. The North County Times notes that Chargers defensive end Luis Castillo was unveiled as the cover athlete of the Spanish translated version of Madden '08.

Castillo's fellow lineman, Jamal Williams, has already had his knees scoped. One has to wonder if Castillo won't be joining Williams in the training room before long. I'm actually curious as to why athletes even agree to appear on the cover of the game after all that's happened. So Luis Castillo on Madden '08 in Espanol? I'm guessing Tony Gonzalez wisely passed on the opportunity burden.
