It might be easier to swallow last Sunday's thrashing of the Saints by the Carolina Panthers if supernatural causes were to blame. How else to explain a 41-10 loss -- at home in the Dome?

Every Who Dat has heard the folklore, and it's usually told in tones ranging from jest to rue: that the Saints' travails can be traced to the Mercedes-Benz Superdome having been built over a cemetery.

Alas, only the living can get the blame for this season's dispirited performance.
In fact, the story of that not-so-final resting place, the Girod Street Cemetery, suggests that street improvements pose more risks to cemeteries than cemeteries do to football teams.

This Saints season may be cursed, but it's not because the Dome was built beside an old cemetery | NOLA.com
