Are Gentry & Demps to blame... or is it THIS?

In 2000, the team called in a little spiritual help. They contracted Ava Kay Jones, a Voodoo and Yoruba priestess, to appease the spiritual world and remove any ghostly impediments to the Saints' victory. Jones performed a series of rituals and prayers, calling upon the ancestors for their football support. The most public ritual took place before a playoff game against the St. Louis Rams. Jones draped a boa constrictor around her neck and performed the ceremony at midfield in the Superdome. That day, the Saints won their first-ever playoff win, defeating the Rams 31-28. Jones claims that, after that, she became the official Voodoo priestess of the NFL.
