The Peter King Curse

Last night it hit me why the Dallas Cowboys are having a season with as many soap opera plot lines and ups and downs - its because Peter King picked them to go to the Super Bowl. Just look at the circus that the Cowboys have become and compare it to what happened to the Minnesota Vikings last year after King picked them to go to the Super Bowl.

Instead of the Super Bowl - the Vikings had sexcapades on the high seas (the Vikings off week is now enough in itself to raise the country's threat level). They had a coach get axed and the "franchise" QB booted out of town after ruining any fantasy football team that dared touch him and the bankroll of any gambler who bet on the Vikings to at least be half decent.

Maybe I'm being too harsh. Maybe there is no Peter King curse on NFC teams. Maybe Peter King is a fraud. A gossip columnist disguised as football writer. I hope it is the latter and not the former because Peter King picked the Patriots to go to the Super Bowl too. Just like last year and we know how that worked out.
