Kardashian curse strikes again

First it was the Sports Illustrated cover. Then came the Madden cover. Now there's a new jinx in sports...and it's crippling athletes upon contact. It's the Kardashians! In fact, dating a Kardashian has moved ahead of acl injuries as the most damaging thing to an athlete's career.

Reggie Bush was one of the best and most celebrated college football players of all time. He was drafted with the number two pick in the 2006 draft. In his rookie season the Saint's went to their first nfc championship game in 40 years. Reggie was headed for professional stardom....then he met Kim Kardashian. Their relationship just happened to occur during the worst stretch of his football career. He was injured most of the time and ineffective when he did play. After ending his relationship with Kim, Reggie Bush's career suddenly rejuvenated. He was healthy and very productive for the Dolphins last season.

Meanwhile, an unknown reserve wide receiver by the name of Miles Austin was about to make his first start in place of injured Roy Williams. Not only did Austin break a Cowboys record with 250 yards receiving, he also went on to back to back pro bowls. Then he met Kim Kardashian. Not long after, Austin started having hamstring problems and has not been the same since. Miles hasn't sniffed a 250 yard game or pro bowl since.

Then came Kris Humphries. The man was boo'd in Madison Square Garden for goodness sakes. Who gets boo'd in The Garden for who they marry? A man that marries Kim Kardashian!

I dismissed these incidents as coincidence until I saw nba star Lamar Odom meltdown right in front of our very eyes. Odom was a two time champion and sixth man of the year. Then he met Khloe Kardashian. What is it about those Kardashian women? It's got to be in the dna. Now this brotha (Odom) is a shell of himself. He seems that he's depressed for being traded from LA to Dallas, and playing like it too.

I'm sure that Kim and Khloe Kardashian are great women....just not for athletes. follow@plcolter
