How many times does an announcer talk up your team or player and seem to jinx them into a bonehead play?

I know it's coincidence, but sometimes it makes me yell at the TV when they do it, how about you?

Murray Walker who used to commentate on Formula 1 and other motor racing in the UK was famous for it. His name has almost become a verb i.e. to "Murray Walker" someone is to automatically jinx them.

Believe me when I say this

ALL THE TIME!
Its so annoying... I end up forcing a grudge on the commentator for weeks on end.

All too familiar
