Billy Corgan Blames Eddie Vedder for Cubs Curse

Nobody in the annals of sports has suffered as long as Chicago Cubs fans. The team's 100-year championship drought is the longest in North American sports, so it's understandable if their fans get cranky. But Smashing Pumpkins' frontman Billy Corgan has found an unlikely source to blame for the team's disappointing playoff loss this past season. At a concert in his hometown this past weekend, Home Rub Derby reports Corgan laid the franchise's upset loss at the feet of Pearl Jam frontman Eddie Vedder.

You see, Vedder wrote a song called 'All the Way' for the Cubs. Seems innocent enough, but not to Corgan. "If the Cubs did have a chance this last year that just passed," Corgan told a Chicago crowd. "F---ing Eddie Vedder killed that s--- dead. Last I checked, Eddie ain't living here, OK? Eddie ain't living here to write a song about my f---ing team."

Sorry, Corgan. Curse of the Vedder doesn't have quite the same ring as Curse of the Bambino.
