Every 86 Years or so, This Stuff Happens
For the Curse to be lifted, it had to be so: The Red Sox had to be the first to come back from a 3-0 deficit. They had to beat their toughest rival, and do it in their backyard. They had to sweep the best team in baseball, and beat them on their own turf.
As Vin Scully said in 1988, “In the year of the improbable, the impossible has happened.”

Now that the Red Sox have finally won the World Series, I have two requests for the Red Sox Nation:
1) Never, ever speak of “The Curse” again. It’s over, it’s done with, it’s gone.
2) Please do not allow your Red Sox Nation to become as obnoxious (and hated) as the Raider Nation.
