Are there any Vikings fans here? Wife and I have been watching the Quarterback docu-series thingy on Netflix that features Cousins along with Mahomes and Mariotta. When the Vikings are occasionally on TV here I sometimes try to watch to check out Jefferson, for nostalgic reasons. It amazes me that he's evidently had the career he's had because every time I get to watch them, he has very quiet games with few targets, and when he is targeted, it either gets defended or he drops it. Anyway, the Netflix thing was making me think about them/him and I realized that, of course I was watching when he got hurt. Now that I'm aware of my jinx, I promise to stop watching Vikings games so that JJ can consistently have good games and Minnesota fans can stop wondering what happens to him sometimes.
My powers don't stop with the Vikings, though. I have yet to catch a Bengals regular season game where Burrow and Chase didn't play like ass and make me wonder why in the world they were worth their draft slots.
It's like, in exchange for 2019 the football karma gods decreed that our team must suck thereafter and also we can never witness those players do anything well in their new careers ever again.
This also holds with Ohio State players I liked to watch in college who go to New Orleans, but I don't think that's me. I think the Saints ruin them, and players from any school, without any outside help.
