More accurately- a sports curse.
I have been banned from watching the Flyers at work (since we could have a 4 goal lead with 5 min in the 3rd period and LOSE if I watch), you all know my history watching or listening to LU FB online (though this year I was 50/50) and now I am singlehandedly close to ruining the Eagles' season.
Case in point:
I am not currently watching the Eagles/Giants game- though I would LOVE to do so. About 10 minutes ago I rush in and flip the game on- Philly leads, 14-10. I tune in a bit later, we're still up 21-16 I believe.
Eagles driving, I JUST SIT DOWN to see Garcia run for the 1st, then promptly spike the ball in the DB's face in a blatant display of stupidity. Of course the yellow comes out. 15 yards. Next play- a horrendous throw over the middle- OF COURSE PICKED OFF, then run back about 50 yds to the Eagles 30. A rush or two, then a fade route which OF COURSE results in a Defensive Holding. In the space of 4 viewing minutes we've gone from driving for the back breaking score to NY on the doorstep for the game winning TD.
At this point I turn off the game and go looking for the dog.
fast forward 15 minutes. I tune in again, against my better judgement to see (IMPROBABLY ENOUGH) Philly UP 36-22 w/ 1:55 to play.
I have NO idea what happened
'nuff said.
you wanna win? dont let me watch
