It was the curse that befell every single active NFL player who appeared on ESPN’s ManningCast in 2021.
Russell Wilson. Travis Kelce. Gronk. Matthew Stafford. Tom Brady. Aaron Rodgers.
They all appeared on the Monday night ManningCast … and their teams all lost the next week. The ManningCast Curse was on.
In Week 1 of this year, New York Giants running back Saquon Barkley tempted fate and appeared on the first ManningCast of the season.
But … THE GIANTS WON!
Lots and lots of NFL fans noticed this and tweeted about it, celebrating that the curse might be vanquished:
He did it!
Saquon killed the ManningCast curse btw
