Super Curse

Arizona brings into the Super Bowl their long-lived Curse of Pottsville, while Pittsburgh has only a Jinx placed on it by President Obama.  Neither team lost to Tampa Bay in 2008, so theTampa Bay Curse should not be a factor.

 

 Arizona's long-running Curse of Pottsville, active since 1925, figures to play prominantly in this game.  The Cardinals currently hold the NFL record for the longest championship drought, and have not yet returned the 1925 title to the town of Pottsville, which-- appropriately enough, is only about 250 miles from Pittsburgh, home of the Steelers.

The last time a major curse played a significant role in a Super Bowl was in 2006, when the Seahawks fell victim to the Seattle Curse by way of lopsided and questionable officiating.  Fittingly, the 2006 benefactors of Seattle's curse were none other than the Pittsburgh Steelers.  

Pittburgh seems to have a minor jinx upon them due to their 2006 victory, and this was only reinforced by the endorsement of President Obama.

However, neither of these is expected to be strong enough a power to overcome the long-running Curse of Pottsville.  That's why TeamCurse.com's fates advisors offer the following for the gamblers out there:

Curses Collide

The 2009 NFC Championship Game between the Arizona Cardinals and the Philadelphia Eagles features two dueling curses:  Arizona's Curse of the Pottsville Maroons versus Philly's Curse of Billy Penn.  Photo: http://www.flickr.com/photos/rcmaclean/

In analyzing these two curses, it would seem that Philly has the advantage, since the 2008 Philadelphia Phillies won the World Series-- only after a small four inch figurine of William Penn was affixed to the Comcast Tower's highest beam.  

Arizona, on the other hand, still appears to be affected by the Curse of Pottsville.  The Cardinals currently hold the NFL record for the longest championship drought, and have not yet returned the 1925 title to the town of Pottsville, which-- appropriately enough, is only 93 miles from Philadelphia, home of the Eagles.

Neither team lost to Tampa Bay in 2008, so the Tampa Bay Curse should not be a factor.

Curse of the Pottsville Maroons

The Cardinals NFL franchise is allegedly suffering a curse by the citizens of Pottsville, Pennsylvania for undeservedly claiming the 1925 NFL championship from the Pottsville Maroons who were stripped of their title by the NFL in one of the greatest controversies in sports history. The curse will supposedly only be lifted when the championship is returned to Pottsville and to the correct shade of red team. The Cardinals team currently holds the NFL record for the longest championship drought. The team did ends its conference championship drought in the 2008 season, however, by hosting the Philadelphia Eagles in the NFC Championship Game.
