Chunky Soup Announces Big Ben, Matt Hasselbeck As Next Curse Victims

Campbell's Soup, servers of Chunky Soup, have announced that Ben Roethlisberger and Matt Hasselbeck will join Donovan McNabb as their next soup pitchmen. The Soup, of course, is the defining issue involving the appropriately named Chunky Soup Curse. Each offensive NFL soup hawker has fallen to injury, as have their backups.

Previous Chunky Soup Curse Victims

• Kurt Warner and Jamie Martin
• Terrell Davis and Olandis Gary
• Jerome Bettis and Chris Fuamatu-Ma'afala
• Donovan McNabb and Koy Detmer

The only difference is the time McNabb and Detmer got hurt, A.J. Feeley stepped in and won 5 games...

Yeah, it doesn't fall to the #3s -- witness Marc Bulger (who didn't get hurt that year) and Mike Anderson.

It was an Act of God that Feeley won those games. Got the Eagles a second round draft pick (Reggie Brown) for Feeley, who is at best, a backup QB.

Hasselbeck's is Seneca Wallace. I'd have to look up Ben's, too.

The best thing Feeley ever did for the eagles was get traded. If ever Banner and Reid looked like geniuses, it was there

Sad thing is, Batch might have been there best QB for the last 5 or 10 years. Whenever Scott Mitchell was there and decent...98?

Stupid. The only curse is the Madden video game curse.

Michael Strahan set the all time sack record without injury while pimping Chunky soup.

McNabb made soup commercials for years before he got hurt. Then he did it for a few more years and got hurt again.
