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.
