The curse has to do with injuries

# 2002 – Daunte Culpepper leads team to dismal 4–7 record before season-ending knee injury
# 2003 – Marshall Faulk suffers ankle injury; career diminishes thereafter
# 2004 – Michael Vick fractures right fibula in preseason game, just one day after Madden is released; sidelined for season
# 2005 – Ray Lewis fails to post a single interception (after grabbing 6 the previous year), and injury forces him to miss the final game of the season; the Ravens also fail to make the playoffs after winning the division in the 2003–2004 season
# 2006 – Donovan McNabb suffers sports hernia in first game and undergoes season-ending surgery in November; T.O. feud escalates; Eagles finish 6–10 after reaching the Super Bowl the previous year

I do not want Trophies, Money or not even a title saying I am number "1". You can have your cheap trophies, paper titles, and dingy headbands. I am a "STORY" to my peers, a "LEGEND" for your kids to hear, and a "FOLKLORE" to keep you from dieing with fear - [b]Calvin D. Kates aka Chauncy "TRU" Talon. [/b]
