The Wade Blogs: The Simpsons Jinx : Top 10 Simpsons Sports Curses

George S. shouldn't be after the head of Joe Torre or the arm Randy Johnson but maybe he should be pointing fingers at Matt Groening.

After careful review thewadeblogs.com has discovered that the Simpson's might actually be the blame for the Yankees recent playoff bust. Watch out SI cover jinx and move over Madden Curse (which has recently gained moremomentum with Shaun Alexander going down - 7 yeras in row) athe wadeblogs.com has unearthed and even more chilling connection involving the Simpson's... one year your animated on the celluid and the next year you are devasted and full of void.

As fate would have it the Sunday before the playoff's were going to air on their network Fox re-aired an episode featuring the Big Unit doling out advice to Ned Flanders on his "Leftorium" skills and sure enough a week later Randy looked like a tool against the Tigers.

So we did some additional digging and we found a frighting pattern emergered even scarier than the Simpson's "Treehouse of Horror" shows sure to send a chill down any sports stars spines. Check out the scary connections as they come to light (note: in the midst of editing - bear with us)

Soon, Homer is choreographing celebrations for Yao Ming, LeBron James, Warren Sapp, Tom Brady, and Michelle Kwan and ends up getting asked to choreograph that year's Super Bowl halftime show.
Jinx: Sure Tom Brady wins that night with his steely nerves but sure enough the next year his Patriots get bounced from the playoffs and Pittsburgh goes onto win.

Springfield wants to use the court for a tennis tournament, which all of the family members enter. But when teams are divided, the family gets competitive with each other, and they recruit professional tennis players to play in their places.
Jinx: 2002 opened with disappointment for Agassi, as injury forced him to skip the Australian Open, where he was a two-time defending champion. The last duel between Agassi and Sampras came in the final of the U.S. Open. The battle saw Sampras emerge victorious in four sets and left Sampras with a 20-14 edge in their 34 career meetings. The match proved to be the last of Sampras' career. He did not play in an event on the professional tour again and officially announced his retirement in 2003.

air Date: seaosn 10 1998-99

Jinx: Madden & sUmmerall put on hold for Monday Night Football for Dennis Miller. In 2000, Miller beat out Rush Limbaugh (among others) for a job as color commentator on ABC's Monday Night Football. [9] Though many were initially skeptical about his qualifications, he demonstrated a surprisingly thorough knowledge of the game. His esoteric references to the likes of F. Scott Fitzgerald and Seward's Folly got mixed reviews among football fans, however. Marino set to retire after a last playoff push and won the first round In the next round, also on the road, Marino and the Dolphins were demolished in a 62-7 loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars. It was an ignominious end to a spectacular career. On December 10, 2000, Washington Redskins linebacker Lavar Arrington sacked Aikman with such force that his head literally bounced off the turf leaving a dent in his helmet; it was his tenth concussion, and the one that would end his career.

8. Athlete: Mike tyson

Synopsis: Drederick Tatum, also known as Mr. Armageddon, is a professional boxer voiced by Hank Azaria. He has appeared in several episodes, most notably when Homer became a boxer. Tatum is a parody of Mike Tyson in several ways, including his physical appearance, criminal record and soft-spoken lispy voice, though seems to be more intellectual than is let on by his first appearance. Unlike Mike Tyson however, Drederick Tatum had served time for pushing his mother down the stairs. Therefore is is more likely that his name, may be based on that of former welterweight Meldrick Taylor. Tatum's manager Lucius Sweet physically resembles Don King and was once voiced by Paul Winfield, who portrayed King in the HBO movie Tyson.
