The curse is back on the Saints. They will make many great starts with WindBrees at the helm but will falter down the stretch. Take the Cowboys for instance they're cursed too. They won't accept it and instead blames Romo and Jones, but he fact of the matter is they are cursed. If you want to see some good football you should venture up north to Pittsburgh. How about them Steelers?

I agree with you Walt. The Cowboys are cursed. Jerry sold his soul to the devil for that stadium that we continue to lose in.
