Construction workers rush to stop Curse of Billy Penn, but Eagles lose anyway. Is there still hope?
The Curse of Billy Penn is nothing to trifle with, as Philadelphia sports fans know.
Philly fans first became aware of it in the 1980s, when Philadelphia teams simply couldn't seem to win anything. The blame was placed on the newly constructed Liberty Place One, which was the tallest building in the city at the time -- and had broken a gentleman's agreement in its construction.
That agreement was that no building would be higher than the hat of the statue of William "Billy" Penn which stood atop of Philadelphia's City Hall.
It would take decades before the curse would be broken.
And Philadelphians had Comcast to thank for it.
The Comcast Center was already the tallest building in the city in 2007, during its construction. So to help Philadelphia teams win games, it placed a four-inch Billy Penn statue on its roof.
In 2008, the Comcast Center officially opened. The Philadelphia Phillies won the World Series that same year.
So as the newest and tallest Philadelphia skyscraper, the Comcast Innovation and Technology Center, nears completion, ironworkers have taken the city's sports destiny into their own hands.
On Nov. 30, construction workers rushed to finish placing the final steel beams and placed a tiny William Penn statue on the topmost beam of the construction, according to Philly.com. Their work ensures that the founder of Pennsylvania still stands at the highest point in the city. It was all done to ensure the Curse of Billy Penn wouldn't muck up the Philadelphia Eagles' chances for the Super Bowl this year.
Only thing is, it hasn't appeared to work -- yet.
The Philadelphia Eagles suffered their second loss this season days later -- their first since the September game against the Kansas City Chiefs. They lost, 24-10 to the Seattle Seahawks on Dec. 3.
Does that mean the ironworkers were too late to quell the anger of Billy Penn? Or did they jinx the team's current good luck by even acknowledging the curse?
Time will tell, but we have high hopes for the long run. After all, Penn is back on top in the city, so surely the curse has been banished for the moment -- even if it did have a temporary flare up.
The way we see it, it's all up to the Eagles players now. the supernatural reasons for loss have been quashed by a group of construction workers who are true Philly sports fans.

The Curse of Billy Penn
The curse of Billy Penn was a curse that was believed to cause the futility of Philadelphia’s major sports teams in their respective championships starting 1987. The curse is connected with the construction of the One Liberty Place building which surpassed the height of the William Penn’s statue perched on the Philadelphia City Hall. The curse lasted up to 2008 when the Philadelphia Phillies won the World Series. Incidentally, this was just over a year after a four inch figurine of William Penn was placed atop the Comcast Center, which was completed that year and is currently the tallest building in Philly.
Overall, the Nutribullet Magic Bullet blender attachments are designed to provide convenience and versatility in the kitchen, making it the ideal appliance for blending and grinding various ingredients..
Reviews for "Discover the Secrets of Using Nutribullet Magic Bullet Blender Attachments"
1. Jane - 2/5 - I was really disappointed with the Nutribullet magic bullet blender attachments. They claimed to be able to blend anything, but I found that they struggled with tougher ingredients like frozen fruits and vegetables. The blades would often get stuck, and I had to constantly shake and jiggle the blender to get it to blend properly. It was also a pain to clean, as food would get stuck in the crevices between the blades. Overall, I expected better performance from this blender.
2. Mark - 3/5 - While the Nutribullet magic bullet blender attachments do a decent job at blending soft fruits and vegetables, I found that they were not as effective with harder ingredients like nuts and seeds. The blades would often get jammed, and I had to stop and shake the blender multiple times to get it to blend properly. Additionally, I found that the attachments were not very durable and started to show signs of wear after only a few months of use. Overall, I think there are better blender options available that offer more consistent blending results.
