Doop Curse Explained

I live in a duplex with three other guys. They are just as obsessed with sports as I am. We have lived here since July 2011 and have witnessed some ridiculous reverse jinxes since we moved in. Therefore, we coined a term "doop curse" as it seemed to happen too often to be just a coincidence. 

Memorable Doop Curses:

1) I traded Josh Hamilton in fantasy baseball on April 31st last year. Josh Hamilton hit 4 home runs on May 9th.
2) One roommate said in the Texans 2013 AFC Divisional Playoff game against the Patriots that Devier Posey would become the #2 WR behind Andre Johnson. Devier Posey tore his Achilles' tendon that game.
3) One roommate noticed that another roommates car was the only one that had never been involved in an accident because of our absurdly busy parking lot. Within two and a half hours a Dodge truck had backed into the roommates car causing over $1500 in damage. His car has also gone through three flat tires in the 6 weeks since the doop curse was initiated. 
Josh Hamilton did not like my early season trade in fantasy last year.


So if I refer to the doop curse again, I will post a link to this post in order to explain the phenomena. And since this curse is now public knowledge, I will be keeping a record of all the doop curses that happen for the rest of my time in the duplex.

Doop Curse List

1. Write blog post about Rockets being professional and looking like a solid bet to lock up the 6th seed. Next night lose to the Phoenix Suns, the worst team in the West. (April 15th, 2013)
