When I was a kid, I was watching the Cowboys play the St. Louis Cardinals. I was getting really mad at the Cardinals tight end, Jackie Smith, who was having a great day catching everything and hurting the Cowboys. So finally, in exasperation, I made a voodoo doll of him. After Smith scored a TD, I stuck a pin in his doll and said, “Jackie Smith, I curse thee. You will drop the most important would-be TD pass of your career.”
Then when Smith became a Cowboy, I had forgotten all about the curse and therefore did not lift it. I didn't remember it until Smith dropped that would-be TD in Super Bowl 13. I'm really sorry. That loss is my fault. I've lived with the guilt for years.
But that's why I've realized I've got to make this right. I own a time machine, so why not finally fix this? I will be going back to prevent my younger self from setting that voodoo curse.
I will say this. Don't screw around with voodoo. It's sneaky. It has a way of coming back to bite you in the butt.
