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.
@EmptyHand49 No its the fact that 3 of the largest comebacks in modern Super Bowl history are tied to Kyle Shanahan. With all the high talent he had at his disposal, how did he manage to ruin every opportunity to win?
It would be a curse if factors were out of his control like in 28-3, with a gassed defense that couldn’t hold up anymore. In this most recent SB, Shanahan just turned his brain off completely and blundered the game away on the coin toss.
Once again, the Cardinals won the 1947 NFL Championship. Still the longest in American pro sports but not quite as long.

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.
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.
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.
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......
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
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
@kyle_kennemur cam had 1 good season so I wouldn't say he beat the curse, but Henry definitely did, and lamar has been great, but more is expected of him. Tbh I would like to see him win a lombardi in the next 3 seasons as long as it doesn't cost the eagles the title
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.
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.
It was the American Professional Football Association (APFA) championship for the 1920 and 1921 seasons. It wasn't the NFL Championship until the 1922 season when the league was renamed to the NFL.
@@nasis18 Not much difference between the APFA and NFL Championship moniker since it was the same format (loose scheduling, determined solely by win-loss%, ties were treated as non-games in the standings). Just the name of the league itself, as opposed to the wholesale changes in 1933, 1967, 1970, 1978, 1990, and 2020.
@Kylora2112 But there is a difference. The name of the league was the APFA in 1920 and 1921 seasons. It wasn't officially named the NFL until the 1922 season. Just pointing out an incorrect part of your original statement. I'm not disputing anything else you stated.
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
Joe Namath not only insists that he never had - or would ever consider - “selling his soul to the devil”, he insists he prayed to God for the victory in Super Bowl III. It’s probably some embittered Colts fan or player who came up with that idea.
@@klardfarkus3891He ain’t even the most hated in the history of the AFC North. That will forever be Vontez Burfict. Why? Because Bengals fans hate him too.
@@zlinedavid vomtez did not have a mob trying to stop him from even getting into the league. The hatred of Lamar started even befor the draft as they tried to stop teams from considering him as a QB
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.
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
💯 on J. Namath plus the fact there’s lost footage of SBlll. I’m surprised you didn’t mention the Bills curse - 1966 TE Warlick cut - 1991 after Norwood ‘wide right’ bills went 0-4 in the SB. The usc qbs curse - QBs who played in usc plummets when playing in the nfl. The Bill Belichek coaxing tree curse - coaches who were in the tree of BB went to coach their own teams and sucked. Hard rock stadium curse (MIA 🐬) being built in sacred ground and plenty more
I noticed two other curses, both relating to the 49ers. 1. If you defeat the 49ers by EXACTLY 17 points, your starting quarterback will go down with a season ending injury. This happened to Deshaun Watson, Kirk Cousins, and Joe Burrow last year, all of whom beat the Niners by exactly 17. 2. The 49ers will lose any Super Bowl in which they possess a 10 point lead against Kansas City.
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
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?
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
Honestly it's not even that The NFL got pushed by Al in the 80s and their egos have never recovered It's like why Vince doesn't let certain superstars win it all in his sports entertainment league
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)
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.
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'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.
@@aaronholcomb237 I absolutely agree. They've only made the Conference Finals once in their history and got victimized by one of their franchise's all-time greats in that series.
@@michaelhession2105 true but you left out the tragedy that happened closest to McKinley's assassination: the Staley Swindle in 1920 when the Bills were the first ever NFL Champions until Chicago's owner literally just declared his own team Champs and it stuck in the record books You also left out 4 straight Super Bowl losses and missing the first Super Bowl after losing to the Chiefs in the AFC Championship game
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
Only starting QB with two Super Bowl rings not in the Hall of Fame. (Where he doesn't deserve to be, personal opinion. Dude was very much in the right place at the right time.)
All true, but he did win a heisman and has 2 rings. His development wasnt helped by New England and he may have been a better player throughout his career had he not got stuck there.
joe burrow almost won a super bowl. cam newton won an mvp and played in a sb. lamar jackson has two mvps. derrick henry rushed for 2000 yards. baker and kyler aren’t exactly mvp candidates but both have led teams to the playoffs and made pro bowl rosters. devonta smith has had two straight 1000 yard seasons. i don’t see evidence of a curse
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
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!
Five bro do better research on the Cardinals, you get shit wrong on us ALL THE TIME. Bill Bidwill stepped down in 06, not in 2020 when he died and Michael Bidwill has run it since (other videos) and the Cardinals won an NFL championship in 1947, not just 1925. You've gotten this wrong in 2 videos. Git gud buddy!
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
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.
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
I once heard there was the curse of Bo Jackson on the Bengals. The team didn't win a playoff game for 31 years after the freak injury on Bo's hip... No curse here, Mike Brown was just a shitty owner.
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 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?
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.
The Cardinals won it in 1947. That's still a long time but at least people are alive today that heard them win it on the radio (because TV wasn't accessible for another 5-7 years).
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.
7:15 you know damn well caednials qere close to beating steelers, and they held cardinals players illegally on onside kick. To say they weren't close is a joke.
10:40 madden xurse isn't real at all. Injuries are at 100% and most on madden tile dont experience season ending or career ending. If anything madden indicates a down turn in career

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
@MazeDaGr8 you forgot 2009:-the Saints sweep the Falcons went on to make and win the Super Bowl
Jim Plunkett would argue the Heisman Curse.
Only starting QB with two Super Bowl rings not in the Hall of Fame. (Where he doesn't deserve to be, personal opinion. Dude was very much in the right place at the right time.)
All true, but he did win a heisman and has 2 rings. His development wasnt helped by New England and he may have been a better player throughout his career had he not got stuck there.
joe burrow almost won a super bowl. cam newton won an mvp and played in a sb. lamar jackson has two mvps. derrick henry rushed for 2000 yards. baker and kyler aren’t exactly mvp candidates but both have led teams to the playoffs and made pro bowl rosters. devonta smith has had two straight 1000 yard seasons.
i don’t see evidence of a curse
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
Cardinals won the NFL title in 1947!!! Second time you’ve ignored this fact.
Watched whole video in 15 seconds. Its bad
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!
Five bro do better research on the Cardinals, you get shit wrong on us ALL THE TIME. Bill Bidwill stepped down in 06, not in 2020 when he died and Michael Bidwill has run it since (other videos) and the Cardinals won an NFL championship in 1947, not just 1925. You've gotten this wrong in 2 videos. Git gud buddy!
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
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.
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
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.
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.
I once heard there was the curse of Bo Jackson on the Bengals. The team didn't win a playoff game for 31 years after the freak injury on Bo's hip...
No curse here, Mike Brown was just a shitty owner.
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.
Lions, Browns, Vikings, Bills and throw in the Falcons. Longtime franchises with no Super Bowl.
Shit! Forgot about the Cardinals😂
Mercury Morris. 1974. The Sea of Hands game. How many super bowls have the Dolphins won since 1973.
The Honey Bears were amazing tremendously terrific in 1985 but I'm really hope they are all doing well in 2024 8:08
The Dan Marino 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?
Heisman Trophy winners also tend to be unsuccessful because they get drafted VERY high, which means they get drafted by shit teams.
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.
Speaking of my Maple Leafs, we might be the only team that has 2 curses connected to us, the Bill Barilko Curse and of course Harold Ballard.
The Cardinals won it in 1947. That's still a long time but at least people are alive today that heard them win it on the radio (because TV wasn't accessible for another 5-7 years).
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.
If the Bears haven't won a championship since the 1920's, then what was the whole "Super Bowl Shuffle" things about??
Every morning I wake up, my first thought is about the 1925 Championship curse. It haunts me every day of my life.
H
Everything lines up with Washington, except the injuries happened in different stadiums.
7:15 you know damn well caednials qere close to beating steelers, and they held cardinals players illegally on onside kick.
To say they weren't close is a joke.
I thought the only way to break Bobby lanes curse was for the Steelers to trade a player from Pittsburgh to the lions
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
Being a life long Redskins/Commanders fan is the biggest curse. Trust me I KNOW...
10:40 madden xurse isn't real at all. Injuries are at 100% and most on madden tile dont experience season ending or career ending. If anything madden indicates a down turn in career
Did you say that Smith injured his leg in the same stadium as Thiesman? Come on man! Aren’t you from DC?
The Chargers , Raiders , Bills , Browns , Cardnails , Jets , are all curse teams in their own way
Detroit lions will never win a championship or a superbowl for billon years
The cheerleaders.
Having young women on the sidelines of games makes it worse.
Theismann happened at RFK and Smiths injury was at FedEx. Place is still a dump tho…
As an eagles fan i love the jimmy Johnson curse.
Screw you Gino!
That was Faulk’s award. SDSU!
Devonta smooth won the Heisman and is doing pretty damn good right now 🤷🏿🦅🦅🦅
Jason Kelce also didn't get hurt or stink after the soup commercial
Kirk Cousins isn't a bad guy in reality come on now that's stupid 5:00
Namath wearing pantyhose in a commercial is what cursed the Jets😂
Bro i remembered your voice in a another channel. Is it possible!?
I love ya, man, but you have to do better with your fact checking.
I'm from Nebraska. Eric Crouch. 'Nuff said.
