Curse of the crease

 * – ( View AfD View log ) •

Non-notable alleged "curse," the name of which is only sourced through a user forum, vaguely speculated upon by a couple of local sportswriters in the sources shown in the way bored sportswriters on deadline often do. Fails WP:N, WP:SYNTH, WP:RS.  Ravenswing  20:20, 30 November 2010 (UTC)

 * Delete Nom says it better than I can-- bored sportwriters on a deadline come up with things all the time, but very few of these catch on. A curse story is easy to write-- you comment on yet another disappointment (in this case, the Texas Rangers losing the World Series) and then try to blame it on something.  As with a joke that isn't funny because it has to be explained, this one requires too much description to ever catch on.  Mandsford 03:22, 1 December 2010 (UTC)
 * Come to that, the most celebrated and noteworthy of hockey "curses" was admittedly invented by a sportswriter.  Ravenswing  10:47, 1 December 2010 (UTC)
