They should have known. If any team should have known, it was the Cubs. They should have known and still decided to screwed with fate. And fate kicked their asses.
The fine fans of Colorado sports teams may not have that rich history and long relationship with choking, but we have embraced the fates of sucking quite well thank you. We know not to start screwing with a curse before you have driven that wooden stake deep into its heart, douched it with holy water and shoved a garlic and silver bullet pizza down its yob.
Cub fans are not that smart. They were celebrating a World Series title in September. It is now early October and they are now rallying around the mantra of "the Curse ends in 2108! - 200 years is quite enough." To remove this curse the Cubs brought in a Greek Orthodox priest to bless the dugout (and not a Catholic priest to exorcise the stadium), big mistake. They also denied entrance to another goat, the reason for the curse in the first place!
Colorado fans know our teams will suck. That is just the way it is. If they don't suck today that just means that they are saving the suck for later, when the hurt will sting a little bit more. We want them to win, but always believe they will lose (to not piss off the curse gods), and if they happen to not lose, Broncos 97 & 98; Avs 96 & 03; Dynamite; Crush; Mammoth; Rockies 2007 N.L. pennant...then, fiddle de dee, we rock! But we will suck again soon, gods-o-de-curse, so forgive us our cheering and understand that we know that you are most powerful and shall exact your revenge on us fans for the championships that slurked by you, the Broncos without Elway; all other Rockies' teams; all Avs teams without Roy; CU, AFA, CSU & CC hockey - screw you DU! Curse whore!
When you're cursed, you're cursed, so you might as well just accept it and root for teams that you hate to pass the curse onto them (hello Boston teams!).
