Interview on being the cover boy of Madden 08

Interview with Vince Young

1. So, the natural question, what are your thoughts/concerns on the supposed ‘Madden Curse’?

No, no concerns whatsoever. I’ve always been a man of God and I put my faith in him to keep me healthy and if something happens it happens. But hopefully I’ll be able to stay healthy and help my team make it to the Super Bowl.

2. What superstitions, if any, play into your own pre-game rituals? What’s the most bizarre one you’ve ever witnessed?

The only thing I do is put on my iPod and get jamming, maybe some dancing too. Can’t say that I’ve seen anything bizarre…Kevin Mawae walks around the locker room in a Hawaiian skirt but nobody is going to say anything to him about it. Whatever it takes to get ready for a game

3. Of all your teammates, who would be the toughest to beat in a game of Madden?

I’ve played against a lot of guys who take it serious. Probably the best I’ve played against on a regular basis is Roy Williams. He wins sometimes, I win sometimes. We have a lot of fun playing though.

4. After one year in the league, who’s the hardest hitter in all of football?

I would say either Sean Taylor from Washington or Robert Griffith from Arizona. I’ve watched lots of film on both of them and you always have to know where they are every single play. They can bring it big time. But after going to the Pro Bowl I have much respect for defensive players. They can be out there trying to make the big hit but and take you down but they’re not out there trying to hurt you. Ray Lewis – tough guy and he comes to play but he treats you with respect.

5. Who had the best touchdown celebration of all time?

No question, Ernest Givens doing the electric slide for the Oilers back in the day. I remember playing Pop Warner football back in Houston and everyone was doing it.

6. Of all the great players, both past and present, who would make up your “dream” backfield and receiver corps? Oh, I would have to say LT (LaDainian Tomlinson) in the backfield, Chad Johnson and Andre Johnson at receiver, Reggie Bush in the slot with Tony Gonzalez and Antonio Gates at tight end. Throw Deion Sanders in with my defense now and nobody’s going stop us.

Vince better mention Sean Taylor first, he's counted to infinity...twice.

Vince Young doesn't have much of a sense of NFL history does he? All of his picks were current players (and one not even IN the league yet) except ___in' Deion Sanders.

[MuDDSL1DE]

He said Chad Johnson, not Calvin Johnson.

Ocho Cinco, the original C. Johnson.

Really Vince?

So no Jim Brown? No OJ? How about some guy named Payton?

At receiver, no Jerry Rice? Paul Warfield?

Kids today :doh:

[Sawyer5500]

Atleast he gave props to my man Sean Taylor, so hes alright in my book.

[Ghost of]

He said Chad Johnson, not Calvin Johnson.

I wasn't talking about Chad, I scanned past Tony Gonzalez and saw "Anthony Gonzalez" the WR from Ohio State. That was my bad.

But my post still stands. Where's the sense of history. Give me Jerry Rice over any WR ever.

And Deion Sanders? Im so sick of him somehow being the gold standard at CB. I guess I'm the only one who remembered him getting beaten like a drum by Jerry Rice (and others) when he was with Atlanta.
