JINXED
There was a running joke between me and my husband that he was jinxed. It started out that Hubs shouldn't go to any games. Every time he went to a sporting event like our teams football, ice hockey, or baseball, out team would lose. I remember taking him to a Flyers game (NHL). The Flyers were hot that season. They were on a winning streak. We went to the game and they were favored to win. they ended up losing 0 to 9. I joked that he should be banned to sporting events because he was cursed. Then last year it seemed like every team he'd root for, they would end up losing. We had this running joke but I didn't really truly believed it. Until...
So this season, when the Cowboys were playing the Giants for a spot in the Superbowl, Hubs joked that he'd root for the cowboys because if he did they would lose. I laughed and said that he should root for the Cowboys but knowing full well that the Cowboys were the favorite to win. So I really expected the Cowboys to win and this question of a jinx would be out the door. Then the cowboys lost. I was shocked.
Then came the superbowl. I hate Tom Brady. I don't know where all this animosity came from but he just gets under my skin. So I was going to root for the Giants. Hubs told me that the Patriots haven't lost a game all season and that they'd most likely win. So to my surprise come game night, he's rooting for the Giants. Then the Patriots score a touchdown and they were leading 7 to 3. I turn to him and told him that he has to root for the Patriots. "STOP ROOTING FOR THE GIANTS", I'd scream. Then when he started really rooting for the Patriots... THE GIANTS WON!! I turned to him and said," Hon, you really are jinxed!"

poor jinxed hubs!
i think ppl don't like Brady b/c he's so "made up" all the time. perfect hair coming out of the locker room, just the right amount of stubble, that tom cruis-ish smile, etc. and then there's the supermodel girlfriends.
until the last couple sentences, i thought you were going to say that the curse was reversed. haha. tell him NOT to root for the eagles this year then. even just a little bit. ;) for real. :)
as for tom, i hate him too. added to rbk's thoughts, he seems perfect but you realize that he's really not. take his child with moynihan for example.
I am so sad... now I know... always try to get B to root for the other team... sooooooooo sad... how can my boys have lost?
