There has been a ton o’ talk about the Madden curse with Vince Young grabbing the cover. Well, here’s a story that shows there can be life after Madden.
Former NFL running back Eddie George had his pro career virtually ended when he became the first victim of the Madden jinx, but he’s now prepared to take on a new role as a reality show douche on TV One’s newest program called “I Married a Baller.” If you can’t tell from the title of the show, George isn’t the star in the show; that distinction goes to his wife Tamara A. Johnson-George, aka “Taj” from the R&B group SWV, aka “Sisters With Voices.” But don’t expect to see the alcohol fueled tirades that accompany most crappy reality shows because the Georges appear to actually be a normal, adjusted, happy couple. Well, there go the ratings.
Unfortunately, everyone isn’t going to have the pleasure of watching the couple as they “get on each other’s nerves occasionally, rely on family and friends, and come across as loving parents to their children” because the alternative to BET, TV One, is only available in central Ohio on Time Warner. So, don’t delay, contact your local cable operator today and tell them that you want your TV One. George seems to enjoy watching himself on the tube and you will too.
You just see how precious and blessed you are to have your kids and your wife and the things you do have,” George said. “Watching on television, you’re like ‘You know what, man? I’m an all right guy.’
