The Purple People Eater Voodoo Hex?

From the ESPN's Cursed Franchises list:

#7: So labeled by football fanatics in Canada -- where Joe Kapp, QB for Minnesota's first Super Bowl loser, had starred in the CFL. Upset that Kapp lost and tarnished the image of the CFL, Canada placed a curse upon the Vikes.

Anyone heard of this shit before? And for Minneapolis' hippie, non-toilet flushing brethren, we have:

#16: The Curse of Brian Bosworth: The Boz was so embarrassed and crushed after Bo Jackson destroyed him on a memorable night game, that he cursed the Hawks -- and they haven't won a playoff game since 1984.

I'm a monkey and they're just making shit up, right? Sometimes you have to type these things out before they register.
