“Bad idea ray just ask lendale white and tj whosyourmama.”
That came after this tweet the night before, “If youre not a steelers fan, dont put your hands on a terrible towel.”

I'm living proof there's no curse.
I've snatched quite a few towels out of the back pockets of those d-bags, fouled them in ways not suitable for description here and nothing has happened to me.
This is such a non story.

Re: Terrible towel curse?
The world was cursed when the terrible towel was invented.
Anything after that is a cakewalk.

The Steelers really need to focus on how they are going to beat the Browns this weekend with a very fragile Batch under center. This could be two in a row in the minus column for the Steelers quickly leading to three.

Dear Shrek (Lamarr Woodley)
I like how Rice (nor any other Ravens) haven't responded, killing this story before it gains momentum. It's a piece of cloth.

Re: Terrible towel curse?
That was my understanding as well. That picture was first made public by Torrey Smith on twitter, wherein he talks about how disrespectful Steelers fans are, that they were throwing stuff at the players, and seemed to insinuated that the towel just landed on RR that way.

Re: Terrible towel curse?
It's like the old wives' tale about how strange behavior, violence, accidents, whatever allegedly increase when the moon is full--when something like this happened, people noticed the presence of a full moon but didn't notice its absence and since humans seem to be hardwired to fit external events into predictable recurring patterns, voila. When someone "disses" a Reprehensible Rag, a subsequent win by the Tar&Piss is noticed, but the absence of same is not. (Apparently the pattern-seeking wiring persists even in groups of significantly diminished mental capacity...like Stealer fans. :p)

We have burned one before every Piss/Raven game the last 3 years. It doesn't seem to make a difference..OR MAYBE IT DOES!!!
Maybe we ARE supposed to burn them!

Re: Terrible towel curse?
How can anybody possibly disrespect a dishrag? It's like "disrespecting" a condom. It's made to be disrespected.
