NFL Twitter is now convinced the Manningcast with Peyton and Eli Manning is cursed after the Buffalo Bills and Josh Allen fell victim.
ESPN’s Manningcast on Monday Night Football is a hit with fans. However, Peyton and Eli Manning have a problem on their hands.
First, it was the Chiefs. Then it was the Seahawks, followed by the Buccaneers and Lions.
Now, the Buffalo Bills have become the latest team struck by the Manningcast curse, losing in a shocking upset to the Jaguars.
Every active player who has gone on the show has suffered a loss immediately after.
Twitter is convinced the Manningcast curse is real after Bills upset
Even before Allen’s appearance on the show, people were talking about the possibility of the program being cursed.
Twitter has started to believe wholeheartedly.
And Twitter has begun to warn players about the perils of making an appearance.
Part of the appeal of the Manningcast is getting to hear the candid conversations between two former NFL quarterbacks and current players. If you’re a fan of a particular player or team, it may be time to start biting your fingernails and hoping they decline whatever invitations come their way. So far, the Manningcast curse is undefeated.
Of course, players still take the risk of appearing on the cover of EA’s Madden video games despite a well-documented curse on that front.
Someone will have to break the curse sometime, right?
