Today is the last day of Curse Week in the NFL.

First up, we have the Curse of rcade, which is similar to the Madden Curse, but more immediate and unforgiving.

rcade made the "undefeated" Chiefs the headliners of the most recent NFL Pick 'Em edition and whoomp, there they went.

Then, the Ryan Fitzpatrick Curse inevitably struck again.

In that same game, Adrian Peterson ran like a man freed from a spell after being traded to Arizona by the cursed Saints.

John Lackey is a terrible pitcher because he isn't good and he takes too fucking long to show everyone how bad he is at pitching.

2 minutes and 12 seconds in between two pitches...and then he spikes the pitch in the dirt for ball four.

I mean, what is he even doing out there? That would drive me nuts as a fielder.

It's an art piece in memory of former Red Sox reliever Jeff Gray.
