How WFAN's Steve Somers is dooming The Jets
Boardwalk pizza (& food generally) is almost always overrated. You paid too much for it so it has to taste o.k. You're where you want to be when you eat it, & one magic of the boardwalk is that it quickly distracts you from your disappointments.
Now, to our main topic: Why Steve "The Schmoozer" Somers on WFAN will be responsible for The Jets losing to The Patriots tomorrow.
For a week now, radio host Steve has been calling down the sports gods to curse The Patriots. But only one team in New York requires supernatural intervention to win, & that team is The Mets. On the very rare occasions the intervention has occurred, it was astonishing. It also required much careful ritual on the part of Mets fans, like not changing seats during rallies, the placement of magical souvenirs in proximity to the television, deciding which topics are Taboo during a game.
To call down a curse upon a team from Boston is an act worthy only of Yankee fans - they wouldn't be satisfied with 9 future Hall Of Famers on the field - & triggers the karmic rule that whatever you send out returns three-fold. Teams & their fans curse themselves.
So when The Jets lose, blame Steve Somers.
