The Chunky Soup Curse lives!
>> Monday
The famous string of bad luck to befall Campbell's Chunky Soup pitchmen in recent years has claimed its latest victim. Apparently, all-time least charismatic face of Chunky Soup Matt Hasselbeck will be out at least two to four weeks after suffering a knee injury yesterday.
When the Campbell's people come knocking on Rex Grossman's door next year, here's hoping he has the wherewithal to send those bastards on their merry way without as much as a second glance.
Quarterbacks, take heed. Do not succumb to the lure of the Chunky Soup spokesman role, for she is an evil temptress.

Now that I've already posted it, I got to thinking--haven't there only been like three or four Chunky Soup spokesmen? That's a pretty inconclusive curse if you ask me. Who even came up with it? Did I just make it up? Am I crazy? Help me!
Way to go, Dan Shaunessey. Also, doesn't it seem like the Chunky Soup spokesmen are always the losing QB of the Super Bowl? If so, I truly hope Chunky Soup is knocking on Rex's door come February.
I know McNabb has pitched it, I think it's only thing Manning hasn't pitched for. Also, you have non-QB, Super Bowl winning running back Jerome Bettis speak of its satisfying taste.
Yeah, but so did Reggie White. And you know where he is now? Dead! You hear? He's dead!
Also, I think it makes me more like the guy who came up with the SI cover curse than Dan Shaunessey. Unless he came up with that too. Probly did.
Yeah, it would be an interesting YCS bracket-style playoff to find the worst sports curse...I'd probably have to go with the Madden Cover Jinx...
*Sever - get on this tournament pool immediately.
Sports curses like, magic spells or like Lee Elia? Probably should be clarified.
Now taking nominations...
Chunky Soup Spokesman
Madden Cover Jinx
SI Cover Jinx
Curse of the Bambino
Curse of the Billy Goat
Curse of Billy Penn (Philly Teams)
Anything else? I guess we're talking actual curses, paranormal activity and unexplainable phenomena, and not an extraordinary run of poor fortune like the Arizona Cardinals.
The curse (cancer) of T.O.
How about the hall-of-fame quarterback curse? Like, how most times when an NFL team has a great quarterback retire, they're usually stuck in limbo for like 10 years afterward? See: Post-Young SF 49ers, Post-Aikman Cowboys, Post-Marino Dolphins, Post-Inception of the Franchise Bears, Post-Elway Broncos and coming in 2007, the Post-Favre Packers...
Not really sure if it counts/is credible/isn't lame, I'm just sayin...
Forgot about the Heisman curse too.
Man, how many scapegoats do we have?
Curse of Jeff Tedford quartebacks, curse of Florida wide receivers, curse of Duke basketball players.
My personal favorite is the Curse of William Penn, which controls ALL TEAMS in Philly.
Howdy! Do you know if they make any plugins
to safeguard against hackers? I'm kinda paranoid about losing everything I've worked hard on.
Any recommendations?
