What has happened to the curses?
UNC has won the NCAA Basketball championship, beating the Illinois Fighting Illini. UNC Coach Roy Williams was widely known as a choker in big games (for instance the 2003 tournament championship). This means that in the span of just a few years several curses have seemingly vanished. The Boston Red Sox and Anaheim Angels won the World Series, NBA coach Larry Brown won a championship, the Tampa Bay Lightning of the NHL went from a terrible team over its first ten years to a champion (and still reigning), the Baltimore Ravens (formerly the Cleveland Browns), the St. Louis (formerly LA) Rams, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers (franchise started 0-26), the New England Patriots, and even John Elway and the Denver Broncos have all won Super Bowls. The past 7 or 8 years have been a ridiculous and, likely, unprecedented period of time for ending curses.
