The New Jersey Nets and "The Curse of Michelle Beadle"
Well, the New Jersey Nets have lost 18 consecutive games in a row, yep that means that they have started the season 0-18 which is the worst mark in NBA history.
Many fans are probably looking for answers about how the Nets could lose 18 consecutive games and well, there are many factors from injuries to bad luck to poor play, and well being the New Jersey Nets.
However, I present a more mystical explanation and say that the Nets have been cursed by former sideline reporter Michelle Beadle leaving to take a job at ESPN as co-host on ESPN SportsNation. I'm not saying that Michelle is creating some voodoo magic or something, but much like the "Curse of the Billy Goat", "The Madden Curse", and "SI Cover Jinx" some bad mojo might be going around.
To use the alternate timeline theory, once Beadle left Nets, the mojo loss created an alternate timeline that made the Nets suck pretty badly. Sure this is not confirmed by "scientists" but you cannot mistake this logic.
-> Michelle Beadle stays at Nets sideline reporter, team probably wins a couple games.
-> Michelle Beadle goes to work with ESPN, team is 0-18
Most Nets fans are not probably asking, "How do we break this curse?" Well, this might be difficult but rather simple, the Nets need to send Michelle Beadle to a Nets game in person and the good vibes will probably work itself out. Much like when the Cubs sent out a "Billy Goat" to attend their NLCS games in 2003.
Honestly, What else do they go to lose?
