Perna’s curse wheel is the darkest !

Now, I'm convinced there's a curse on Kyle Shanahan, where the teams he's on constantly choke in the Super Bowl. I know it may not seem like a true curse, but it's happened three times now. Once, I could write it off as bad luck or losing to a better team. Twice, I could still write it off, but with some difficulty. But three times? That goes beyond mere coincidence.

Curse of Bobby Layne should be number one.

8:52 different stadium (Theismann was RFK, Smith was FedEx)

1947 was the last time the cardinals won a championship

Once again, the Cardinals won the 1947 NFL Championship. Still the longest in American pro sports but not quite as long.

I imagine someone has already pointed out that the Cardinals won in 1947. And, while they ARE the longest suffering franchise in the 4 major sports now since the Cubs won in 2016...it hasn't been 99 years.

Disappointed the Curse of Bo Jackson isn't mentioned. Since the Bengals tackled and dislocated his hip in 1991 ruining his football and baseball careers no Cincinnati team has won any championships. Its been 30 years of misery for Cincinnati sports fans.

George Halas widow never ran the team. Virginia is his daughter and she inherited the team. His son was president and died and she cut that side of the family out of the football business. There is some suspicion the son was murdered actually.

Lamar Jackson won the Heisman and has gone on to win 2 MVP having received 63/64 first place votes

I'm convinced there's also a St. Louis NFL curse

I said McCaffrey was going to get hurt after he signed that new contract... Then they announced he's the cover athlete for Madden... Hope this injury isn't a career ending one......

Dvonta Smith has so far beaten the Heisman curse! He is probably the best no2 receiver in the league, and if he was on another team he could be a top 10 wr1

Alex Smiths injury happened in FedEx Field while Joe Theismen happened at old RFK.

Theisman and Smith didnt get injured in the same stadium. Theisman was at RFK, Smith was at fedex field.

I feel like the Heisman curse goes all the way back to the first winner, Jay Berwanger, who passed on playing in the NFL at all

There was no NFL Championship Game in 1925 (there was a playoff game to decide a tiebreaker in 1932 that led to the NFLCG starting in 1933). The Cardinals were suspended for playing an exhibition game in Philadelphia, infringing on the territorial rights of the Frankford Yellow Jackets, so the Cardinals scrounged up two games against VERY weak teams in the Hammond Pros and Milwaukee Badgers to overtake the Maroons (from 1920-1932, the NFL Championship was awarded to the team with the best win/loss%, with tied not counting). The Cardinals won the 1947 NFL Championship.

I'm a lifelong Michigander and Lions fan. Here's a tidbit not too many people know about. William Clay Ford Sr. purchased the team on November 22, 1963. Same day JFK was assassinated.

Tom Brady lost a Superbowl against Nick Foles, the first time he was on Madden.

The Cardinals won the NFL Championship in 1947.

The fact of the matter is that Joe Namath did made a deal with the Devil right before the game and he said Devil if you give me this championship you don't have to give the JEST anything for the rest of my life 1:55

The Vikings and Ole Haugsrud should be considered a curse. The guy owned the Duluth Eskimos beforehand and was only given a 10% share of the Vikings up to his death in 1976. About the same time the last time the Vikings even made the Super Bowl.

I’ve had my own goofy thoughts on a curse for years, never seen it talked about: the superbowl host curse. Up until Brady in Tampa, the host city never had a Super Bowl team in the same year. Big examples include Miami and the tank for Tua year, New Orleans and bountygate, Peyton mannings neck injury, etc. Theres more examples of weirdly timed injuries and rogue playoff losses for teams that seemed destined to make it.

Madden 2004: Michael Vick, that’s less a “Boom” from the afterlife and more of a “woof.”😂

Honorable mention (and some bias as a Pittsburgh fan): although inconsistent, The Curse of the Terrible Towel has absolutely destroyed seasons. It may not strike right away, but it will get you and get you BAD.

The issue with Joe Theismann's injury, as you describe it, is that he broke his leg at RFK, vs the other ones you describe happened at FedEx field in Landover.

my team, São Paulo FC, broke from a 11 year curse last year in 2012 São Paulo won the Copa Sudamericana against Tigre, but at half time a generalize fight broke out and Tigre's players decided to not come back for the second half, crowning São Paulo champions but after that São Paulo went till 2023 without a single relevant title ( in that period we won only friendlies and state Championship during the pandemic, that is the lowest ranking title a Brazilian team can win), and last year São Paulo got drawned against Tigre in Copa Sudamericana again, and São Paulo won both games with goals in the second half (that for sure sure broke the curse), and after that went to win the Brazilian Cup eliminating its two bittest rivals on the way to the final

Where’s the terrible towel curse? Any opponent that tries to wave the towel and disrespect it gets cursed. See: Chargers, Bengals, Titans, Cardinals, Jaguars

Perna's Curse Wheel seems to be imbibed with some mystical dark power - or it's just VERY coincidental

the tuck rule has cursed us all since 2002

The San Diego sports curse is a pretty bad one too. One that you can cover in a future video.

I think the bigger reason why the Heismann winner is usually cursed is because the first draft selections always go to the worst teams, and with those first selections they always select who they think are the best players. And with football being the ultimate team sport, you can't exactly expect one player to turn a franchise around like you can with, say, basketball.

I know I’m old, but whatever happened to the sports illustrated cover curse?

Another curse that wasn't just NFL specific but applied to a whole city. The curse of Billy Penn. The statue of William Penn on top of City Hall used to be the highest point in the city. At that time, the Flyers had won two championships, the Eagles had won 3, the Phillies won in 1980, and the Sixers had won 3. In 1987, One Liberty Place was built higher than the statue and no Philadelphia team won a championship in a major sport for 11 years. In 2007, a small statue of Penn was placed on a beam of the Comcast Center, again making Penn the highest point. In 2008 the Phillies won the World Series. Coincidence?

🤓actually Theismann broke his leg at RFK

Funny how that madden with Brady and mahomes hasn't affected their careers up to this point, and the other cover with two players also didn't have a huge amount of influence on their careers (madden 10 with Larry fitz and Troy polumalu)

I feel like the Madden curse was the least of Buffalo's problems last year. The defensive injuries were just unreal, and nobody on that side of the ball even cameoed on the cover. The Bills wouldn't have gotten as far as they did without the sheer force of will of Josh Allen, regardless of how sloppy he was.

I'm very surprised you have not mentioned the curse of the Tequesta. Ever since Hard Rock Stadium (then Joe Robbie stadium) was built, Dolphins have not sniffed a Super Bowl since, saw no successes, and is also the only team in North American sports that has not won a playoff game in the 3rd millennium. (2Pac was still alive and Hong Kong was still British the last time the Fins won a playoff game) It was revealed that the stadium was in fact, built over an ancient Native American burial ground after remains and artifacts were found within the site of Joe Robbie Stadium.

The Chargers , Raiders , Bills , Browns , Cardnails , Jets , are all curse teams in their own way

A qb who lost his first Super Bowl has not started another since the 90s. Teams have even returned the first year after that qb left lol

Idk man, I think Charles Woodson had an ok career after winning the heisman

The curse of Doug Williams: Bucs screwed him over and they’ve never had a successful long term qb.

Every morning I wake up, my first thought is about the 1925 Championship curse. It haunts me every day of my life.

Namath wearing pantyhose in a commercial is what cursed the Jets😂

If the Bears haven't won a championship since the 1920's, then what was the whole "Super Bowl Shuffle" things about??

Perna’s about to have a picture of Pat Mahomes in his freezer 😂

The Madden curse is just an excellent example of regression to the mean. The players who make the cover tend to be at their peak performance so there typically is only room to go down for them after

Honorable mention to the Sports Illustrated Curse

Another factor into the Madden curse is that They don't always pick the best player from the previous season to be on the cover. When they picked Donovan McNabb, Tom Brady had won his third Super bowl and Peyton Manning had set a then record of 49 touchdowns. No disrespect that Donovan McNabb but there were better choices. Vince Young is easily the worst choice by far. He won rookie of the Year and was somehow voted into the pro bowl despite throwing more interceptions than touchdowns. He did lead some 4th quarter comebacks and helped the Titans improve from absolutely awful to 8-8 on his rookie year and he did help them to the playoffs the following year sure, but I mean you can't just put somebody who's notoriety in the NFL thus far was just being rookie of the Year on the cover. Some say they put them on the Madden NFL 08 cover to make up for him not being on the previous years NCAA cover when his Texas longhorns beat the USC Trojans.

Carson Palmer who did won the Heisman back with the University of Southern California Trojans in 2002 he was a 1st Round 1st overall pick in 2003 NFL Draft selected by Cincinnati he was very decent at the same time he came so close to his 1st trip to the Super Bowl in 2015 but either way I love the guy I just wish that he was on a real better team in the NFL like the Panthers Jets Steelers Seahawks and perhaps the Chargers 6:00

Jim Plunkett would argue the Heisman Curse.

Theisman broke his leg at RFK Stadium, Alex Smith at FedEx Field. Same date, same yard line though.

I'm not sure if this is a Curse or a Coincidence but there's a pattern I've noticed. if you defeat the Falcons in the playoffs you have a good chance of making the Super Bowl 1978- the Cowboys defeat the Falcons in the playoffs, they go on to the Super Bowl 1991- the Redskins defeat the Falcons in the playoffs, they go on to make & win the Super Bowl 2004- the Eagles defeat the Falcons in the playoffs they went on to make the Super Bowl 2008- the Cardinals defeat the Falcons, made the Super Bowl 2010- the Packers defeat the Falcons went on to make and win the Superbowl 2011- the Giants defeat the Falcons, they go on to make and win the Super Bowl 2012- the 49ers defeat the Falcons, they go on to make the Super Bowl 2017- the Eagles defeat the Falcons, they go on to make and win the Super Bowl

Mercury Morris. 1974. The Sea of Hands game. How many super bowls have the Dolphins won since 1973.

Was 10 years old watching that Theisman game with dad. Was bad enough when I first saw it, and then they replayed it.

Jason Kelce also didn't get hurt or stink after the soup commercial

Always a W video,

This would explain A LOT about the Jets! I swore Joe Namath made a deal for his first born or something

Everything lines up with Washington, except the injuries happened in different stadiums.

Lions don’t have a curse anymore since Goff lifted it

Earliest I have been to a video!

Huarte also signed with the Jets who had just signed "Broadway Joe"..not a good way to start your career.

The Dan Marino curse.....

I never comment on yer vids, 'cuz they're just that good. Ya tell us that comments help though, so here ya go, Brother. I love ya, and I wanna see 30 to 60 minutes daily. Get on it.

3:38 add 2020 Dak Prescott to that list too

I noticed you left Victor Cruz off the Chunky curse. His knee exploded not too long after.

Heisman curse? Are you forgetting O.J. "Killer" Simpson? The 1968 Heisman Trophy winner is in the Hall of Fame. BTW... John Huarte's (1964 winner) name is pronounced "Hue-wert." As for Tim Tebow, he had a WINNING record as young inexperienced QB in the NFL, including a playoff win! He went 9-7. Then the Broncos signed Manning, thus effectively ending Tebow's career. We'll never know how good Tebow might have been!

The Tuck Rule was the real killer to pervented the Raiders of going to Super Bowl's 3:13

The Honey Bears were amazing tremendously terrific in 1985 but I'm really hope they are all doing well in 2024 8:08

I was hoping you would get to the “Heisman Curse.”

Lions, Browns, Vikings, Bills and throw in the Falcons. Longtime franchises with no Super Bowl. Shit! Forgot about the Cardinals😂

As an eagles fan i love the jimmy Johnson curse.

I'm wondering if the Dolphins are suffering from the WFL Curse. After their last SB win, they lost a handful of their best players to the World Football League and haven't won dick since.

I do believe Namath cursed the Jets. I think Payton Manning also made a deal with the devil for the Broncos Super Bowl. No good quarterbacking since.

Umm... Theismann was injured at RFK Stadium. Alex Smith was hurt at FedEx Field. Both were the home stadiums of the Redskins, but not the same place.

Devonta smooth won the Heisman and is doing pretty damn good right now 🤷🏿🦅🦅🦅

Must be stuck inside with the heat with all these videos

At least Joe Namath is living his absolute BEST damn life since winning the Super Bowl in 1968 against the Colts when he said we gonna win the game I Guarantee It! 1:50

How dare you bring up the 1925 NFL Championship. Too soon, Points. Too soon. Alex Smith was not injured in the same stadium as Joe Theismann. That was FedEx Field. Theismann's injury happened in RFK Stadium

Theismann happened at RFK and Smiths injury was at FedEx. Place is still a dump tho…

Cardinals won the NFL title in 1947!!! Second time you’ve ignored this fact.

If Detroit Lions didn't lose to the 49ers in the NFC Title Game they'd would've won it all vs Chiefs or Ravens and the Bobby Lane Curse would be completely finished permanently but that's not the case here 9:20

Well Lamar was the best college player by far, already has 2 league MVP’s and a top 5 all time win percentage

Jack Huarte wasn't even the best player on his own offense. Split End Jack Snow was. (JT Snow's dad) The Heisman Trophy is given the the "Most Outstanding" college football player. Rarely is it given to the best.

Being a life long Redskins/Commanders fan is the biggest curse. Trust me I KNOW...

1:01 You're welcome!

Who washes with just their hands and not at least a rag

The curse of Ditka- since he was fired in 92 they still haven't done didly do da 😅

What no Sports Illustrated cover curse.

I don't know why that Cardinals thing keeps getting spread around when it is so obviously untrue. The Cardinals won the 1947 NFL Championship, why does no one realize this when their season history is so easily googleable?

Barry Sanders was the real deal in the NFL no doubt about it 5:28

Has Lamar done enough to break the heisman curse?

That's BS the Heisman Curse? I don't believe that I really don't I've watched a lot of Hall Of Famers in the NFL who won the Heisman Trophy made a big big deal in the NFL Tony Dorsett Marcus Allen and OJ Simpson just to name a few 5:05

There's no actual curses other that of terrible ownership

Mom says Hello.

I'm surprised you left out the Buffalo McKinley Curse. Ever since the former President was shot in 1901 it has condemned that city to fail every time it takes the nation's center stage. -The Braves moved to California -The Skate in the Crease -Wide Right -OJ Simpson getting arrested -Music City Miracle -Terry Pegula -13 seconds -Wide Right II -Losing to the Senators and Hurricanes in 2006 and 2007 -etc.

Theismann and Smith didn't get hurt in the same field. Theismann broke his leg in RFK, which was left for FedEx Field in 1997, where Smith broke his. Also, the Cardinals won a championship in 1947. C'mon Five. You can do better

You forgot the Hard KNOCK curse

Krik is a serial killer. That is all.
