Things Couldn’t Possibly Get Any Worse for the Tennessee Titans, Right?
Wrong.
“Tennessee Titans quarterback [Vince Young] has been told he’ll appear on the cover of Madden ‘08.” (from USA Today)
“Young’s agent, Major Adams, said they didn’t believe in jinxes.”
Yeah, but do they believe in curses? Because the Madden Curse is no run of the mill sign of bad luck, such as opening an umbrella indoors. It’s like, wicked powerful, and so real it’s not even funny.
Don’t think so? Try telling that to Chargers fans, who will be partying like rock stars tonight.
As Jim Wyatt pointed out, Vince has all ready broken the infamous SI cover jinx, so perhaps his superhuman powers extend beyond the football field. But in case they don’t, here are some suggestions for Titans fans to help protect their Franchise player this year:
- Pour 10 lb. bag of salt over shoulder
- Empty out 401k, convert into pennies, toss into wishing well
- Knock on wood (bang on wood, sport some wood; whatever works)
- Pull a Tanya Harding on Peyton Manning
(ok, that last one won’t help Vince, you’re right. Scratch that.)
