Hey, you're the one who posted the article calling it a curse to prove your point. Either your guy is right or he is wrong. Which is it?

I posted the article to show that the Bidwill's may be a big reason why Pottsville doesn't have the championship.

I got the last word. Hee Hee.

Amazing that Bill Bidwill can exert all this influence to get this squashed, but when it comes to video replay, he can't even get more than 2 votes to support his position.

And exactly what do the other NFL owners have to gain by refusing to give Pottsville a share of the trophy? Maybe they voted against it because they don't want to revisit something that happened over 75 years ago.

As usual, all we have are insinuations and innuendos.

EDIT: And another thing. If this curse was placed in 1963, why did the Cards not win a playoff game between 1925 and 1963 other than the 1947 edition. One title in 38 years? Also, how about the mid 70's when the Cards won 30+ games in a 3 season period. Is the curse just playoff games? If so, why haven't we had more winning seasons?

This curse is just like all superstitious nonsense. Based on half truths and myth.

actually, if i remember correctly, the concept came up again for review and a three owner committee quashed it before it even got to the owners at large. one member of that committee? you got it . . . bidwill.

face it 40, you can disbelieve in curses, but don't for a second think that the bidwills are clean in this pottsville mess.

These people are competitors, not friends.

you're wrong here. the majority of owners are very good friends. there are a few rogue owners (al davis and jerry jones come to mind, but even jones has been accepted by the old guard for his work with the television negotiations), but most of them are friends and colleagues.

No Ouchie, you are wrong. The article said the owners voted 30 to 2 to not even consider the proposal. You have no idea what, if any, hand Bidwill had in this. It is just supposition on your part. And you are right. I don't believe in curses.

Sorry earthsci. I was going to let you have the last post until Ouchie jumped into the fray. Check the edit on my last post before this one.
