Shut up, Jeremy

This is the worst article ever.

It's very clear that Page 2 of ESPN has no editor, or it's Bill Simmons and he finds this garbage entertaining. DJ Gallo needs to right every article and everyone else should probably just leave. That's my professional advice. As we all know, people who believe in Sports Karma are total fucking morons that need to shut up(but I know a pretty hot girl that believes in karma, so there's that), what you probably didn't know is that they have a site for it. No joke. Let's get started...

Is bad karma going to bite the Indianapolis Colts where the sun doesn't shine on Saturday night, when they host the Baltimore Ravens in the second round of the NFL playoffs?

No, but they could lose because the Ravens are a really good team. You call it karma, I call it Ray Rice.

Lawrence Spencer, founder of sportskarma.com,

Which is a site that looks like it was designed by a third grader. Seriously, I feel like I'm obligated to warn you before you click that link. The awfulness of that site's design may blind you forever.

not only expects it will happen, he hopes it will happen.

I'm sure he hopes for a lot of incredibly childish things. The creator of this site can't be over 6, right?

"They have some heavy karma stacked against them," Spencer, 63,

OMYGOD! This guy's 63?!?!? What the $%#@ $#&*$ $*#&@* $(%%*$#(@!

said from his Sacramento home. "They betrayed their own fans in Indianapolis

Yeah, it would've been a lot better if Reggie Wayne had died like Wes Welker. Resting vs. Starting is a pointless debate that I don't feel like entering, but neither side is completely wrong.

just as they once betrayed the city of Baltimore.

You could also say that the city betrayed him by not going to the games. You know, if you weren't a complete idiot. I guess the Colts owner should've stayed in a city that didn't support the team. Wait, how did the current Colts players have anything to do with this?

If you are good to people, good things happen to you.

Keep in mind, this is something only five years old believe. This guy is 63. If we've learned anything from the awesome Coen Bros movies, it's that bad things happen to good people for no reason at all. It's just life.

But if you're a jerk, it will bite you in the ass."

HEY! WATCH YOUR LANGUAGE!!! Do you want the Karma Police(sidenote:Radiohead is a good band) to take you down?

Are the Colts jerks?

Are you seriously this terrible of a writer?

Let's review:
• Colts' Most Recent Betrayal: They started this season 14-0, and in their second-to-last game they led the New York Jets 15-10 early in the third quarter. That's when coach Jim Caldwell yanked MVP quarterback Peyton Manning and other key starters to protect them from injury. The Jets rallied to win 29-15, ending the Colts' chances of a perfect 16-0 regular season and becoming the first 19-0 Super Bowl champions.

But it didn't end their chance of winning the Super Bowl. Remember, according to ESPN, the only way to judge QBs is by their Super Bowl titles. This is why Trent Dilfer is >>> Dan Marino.

• The Baltimore Betrayal: On March 29, 1984, 15 Mayflower Transit trucks pulled into the Baltimore Colts' training complex at 2 a.m. to load up all the team's equipment and transport it to Indianapolis. Yes, the Colts sneaked out of Baltimore in the middle of the night.

That last line was for people that don't know anything about the NFL, like the author of this article and his 63 year old friend.

Is that a karmic debt long unpaid?

If karma was a force in sports, wouldn't the debt be paid in the 2006-2007 season? You know, when the Colts went into Baltimore during the playoffs and won. And then went on to win the Super Bowl.

If so, a loss on Saturday to the underdog Ravens (who once were the Cleveland Browns, but let's not get into that)

Because that would make your article look even dumber.

would go a long way toward evening the score.
But that was a quarter-century ago.

So, now you're admitting it has no relevance? Bold move.

Let's get back to last month, and the Colts' throwing away their shot at perfection.
"It might have been the last chance for a team to have a perfect season,"

Considering the Patriots were perfect and the Saints came close this season, I doubt that very much.

said Spencer.

Oh, this is the quote by the old guy that's never watched football.

"The betrayal of their fans, their players and the NFL in general was so blatant because they don't even have a backup quarterback."

Either this was a bad attempt at a stupid joke, or he really doesn't watch football.

(Well, technically they do, although Curtis Painter's family probably doesn't brag about it.)

Well, he's technically an NFL QB making a lot of money, so they probably do.

Do you believe in the concept of karma?

It's a perfectly fine concept accepted by some religions, but using it in sports is really stupid.

Did the Curse of the Bambino really exist?

No.

Is there a cosmic accountant who keeps tabs on what we do and makes sure our spreadsheet balances in the end?

Spencer had one final reminder about karma in the world of sports: "Look at Tiger Woods. It always catches up with you."

Except Tiger Woods is actually a total douche. He actually did things that good humans don't do. He's actually a bad person. I keep saying "actually" to reinforce the point, or maybe I'm just a really repetitive writer. It's not like he blew some pointless tournament to be ready for the big tournament(not really sure what it's called, don't care). He slept with every bartender(or waitress, or sailor or something[remember, I don't care]) in America.

That was kinda fun.

  4. Curtis Painter does have a family and I do brag about him. As would any family with a relative playing in the NFL. Back-up or not...tough first couple games or not...he's living a dream the majority of people don't have the talent or heart to achieve.
