Why is Washington cursed?  You know, I've lived in Washington for 5 years and quickly started routing for the home teams.  Well the Mariners win 116 games and choke, the Washington and Gonzaga Basketball teams get to the Sweet 16 and had their games won and lost in the final seconds.  We won't even talk about the Seahawks, bad luck no doubt, they have the talent to win it all and should have and could next year Lord willing.  My wife prayed all my sports teams would lose so I'd quit watching them, well the curse continues (since 1990), but I still watch my teams (grin).  Maybe I should move so we can get over the hump!
