Announcer Spero Dedes gives Gardner Minshew the interception jinx

If there’s one thing you never want to do as an announcer, it’s to state that a quarterback hasn’t thrown an interception in whatever time period you want to bring up. Because we’re pretty sure that’s when the interception will happen. Like mentioning a no-hitter while it’s happening, you just don’t want to mess with the Sports Gods.

Veteran announcer Spero Dedes apparently forgot himself in this regard. Albert was calling Sunday’s game between the Indianapolis Colts and the Jacksonville Jaguars, and with 4:50 left in the first half, Dedes happened to mention that Minshew hadn’t thrown a pick all season long.

See if you can guess what happened next.

I mean… we’re talking MAYBE five seconds between the installation of the Announcer Curse, and the Inevitable Result. Ouch.
