Our last NFL Championship came with a QB wearing #13.

I don't believe in voodoo.

Cool, ever play with coconuts and vinegar? I think voodoo is a religious thing tho.

I merely referred to the much publicized and ballyhooed Sports Illustrated cover curse. Google it. It’s interesting. Hard to disbelieve stuff that happened

lol, Don't have to google it. I'm more than well aware of the SI curse, and the 3 rivers stadium curse, and step on a crack and break your mother's back, and ya have to step on 3rd base on your way to the dugout from the field. I just don't believe in any of it. Nor have I seen any space aliens.

Between Madden and SI there have been a few notable cursed or jinxed...... but it is sports.

1975 Undefeated #2 Texas A&M had just beaten #5 Texas and was put on the cover of SI. Arky beat 'em badly in Fayetteville the following week in the last game of the regular season. F'N SI!! ?Best shot we had in my lifetime for #1. 10 of the 11 defensive starters went on to NFL careers.
