The Curse Continues

See!? I told you all that I was a Jinx! The Fucking Giants won the Super Bowl?!?!?!?!?! You have got to be kidding me?! The Fucking Giants?! Yes, I said the "Fucking Giants". I know I supposedly retired the "F" word from this blog a few years ago, but after what I witnessed Sunday Night, I need to pull it out for today.

I can not believe that the Patriots played so poorly. I can not believe that the Giants defense played so well! I can't believe Eli Manning won a freaking Super Bowl! I can stand the fact that New York has another championship and now we all we have to listen to it for the next year. I can hear it now, those Yankee/Giant fans who will say that this was pay back to the New England region for the Yankees losing to the Red Sox in '04. I am so sick of Boston and New York right now because...well because I live in DC and right now, we got Alex Ovechkin and that's it!

Perhaps the worst thing about Eli and the Giants winning the Super Bowl is all the new conspiracy theories that are sure to grow legs and run roughshod over all of us. All year long I heard from some people who shall remain nameless (my sister Meg) that the NFL was at the head of a conspiracy to ensure the Patriots would go undefeated. It was said that was why Spygate was covered up. The league wanted the financial windfall that would certainly come from a team going undefeated and winning the Super Bowl. Having the Patriots play New York only ensured that even more people would be watching, boosting ratings and revenue to record levels.

Now, we know that was not the conspiracy at all. That was all a smoke screen for the real conspiracy, to get the other Manning a Super Bowl Ring. Oh they fooled us! We all were so focused on the Patriots and Brady's boot that we didn't see this coming! I'm sure this is only the beginning. Within the next year or so, we will see the all Manning Super Bowl. Imagine that! Two brothers, each with a championship, battling it out for favorite son! Now that's good drama! And to think my jinx has helped facilitate all of this chaos. I should be ashamed!

Oh, the Jinx of John Murray is worse than I thought. The Curse of Les Boulez has got nothing on me. I can't believe what has happened since my last post, other than the aforementioned Super Bowl. Here's a rundown:

-The Caps beat the Canadians last Thursday to revenge their 4-0 butt-whooping from last Tuesday. Ovie scored 4 goals, one the game winner in overtime. I thought my jinx was a bunch of hooey. Of course, I had to push my luck and I decided to go to the Caps/Thrashers game at Verizon Center Saturday night. Caps lost 2-0 after outshooting Atlanta 36 to 13! I sat behind the penalty box and still didn't get on TV. I am jinxed.

-The Wizards have not won a game since before my last post. The got walloped by the Lakers and Kobe Sunday. The score doesn't matter. The Lakers killed the 'Zards.
(And did you see that the Lakers traded Kwame "I want my Mommy" Brown for Paul Gasol last week? So the Lakers are going to be real real good again? Sounds like a curse to me.)

-The Redskins are still searching for a head coach, with Giants Defensive coordinator Steve Spagnuolo set to interview on Tuesday. So, let me get this straight: we might hire a division rival's coordinator, after they win the Super Bowl, to be our new head coach after Joe Gibbs retires? Yeah, that sounds like a great idea, don't you think? Because it worked out so well for us the last time.

-Eric Bedard has yet to be traded from the Orioles to the Mariners. Reports say the Orioles are holding it up over rules on player physicals and that they are afraid of getting burned by trading for damaged goods. Also, the Orioles are mad at Adam Jones (the central figure in the deal for Bedard) for telling Venezuelan reporters that he was being traded to Baltimore. First of all, the O's are mad that a guy was excited about coming to Baltimore? So mad that they put the deal on hold and canceled his physical? They are gun shy about a trade because they want assurances that if a player fails his physical they will be able to void the deal? Isn't that what everyone does in baseball, sign off on a trade pending a physical? It just keeps getting weirder and weirder up there in Charm City, hun. The Frog Faced Barrister still wields more of a curse than I do when it comes to the Orioles, but I'm sure I am not helping.

Okay, so the Terps won. I don't have anything on that. Since I have never been to a Maryland basketball game, perhaps my jinx does not extend to them. But, I did not watch the game this weekend so perhaps that was their saving grace.

So what do we do now that my jinx has started to pick up speed and we all may be in grave danger. After losing sleep over this for the past few nights, I might have finally come up with a solution; perhaps this evil power I have acquired can be used for good.

If you have some serious money on a game, tell me who you want to lose and I will root them on! Say you hate the guy in the cubicle next to you because he never stops bragging about his team. No problem, call me and I will cheer for his team so they lose! Or maybe you hate a player on some team because he dissed your team/city/etc. No problem. One game with me being his fan and he's done for. Perhaps that is the only way to stave off Armageddon. You all have to agree that something must be done soon. If not, I fear that things will spiral out of control exponentially and before you know it, the Fucking Rangers will win the Stanley Cup.
