Terrible Towel curse? Oooook

[Gumby]

Yea.. um didn't deion branch stomp on the towel with a few others after the 04 afc championship game?

Hasn't affected the pats in any shape or form

Just finished watching the replay of that 04 game in another thread. Deion simulated the terrible towel swirl using HIS OWN WHITE hand towel. Didnt use a yellow towel and didnt stomp on it, at least not on the Broadcast.

With 70K fans in a stadium and 10s of millions in a region, i am sure you could find someone pissing on a yellow towel before EVERY squealers game. So that "Curse Theory" doesnt explain all their losses this season

The curse is more when opposing players disrespect the towel. TJ Houshmanzada wiped his feet with a towel. Cincy lost Palmer and the playoff game to Steelers. Titans stomped on it after beating Steelers. They proceeded to lose their first playoff game. Bengals blew a huge lead after Hill disrespected it. According to wiki.

It's something that the Steeler fans are often citing, so I'm likely hearing more of it living in Western PA.

Um, you're probably also hearing that the Earth is flat but it's not, the Earth is round.

So apparently I've lived in a bubble my whole life because I've never heard of this Terrible Towel curse that supposedly exists when an opposing team's players or fans harms the Steeler fans trademark terrible towel. The curse supposedly goes like this, you harm the towel, your team loses. Oooook. Steeler fans have been saying that the Chiefs and Dolphins both had fans dis-respecting it, so they lost. It wouldn't have anything to do with not executing or making plays on the field? I'm not superstitious at all, I don't believe in that nonsense. Players win games by going out and getting the job done. The Chicago Cubs were supposedly cursed for 100+ years before finally winning. It took them that long to end the drought because they ended up crapping the bed. There are so many other sports curses that existed (the curse of the Bambino as I'm sure you all know too well), I just have zero belief in it.

Just thought I'd post this terrible towel curse for a laugh, have you guys heard of this? Do you have any belief in it, or any other sports curse for that matter?

Let's go Pats!

I've taken several terrible towels from Steeler fans, but I never stomped them or anything

I still have them.....

I want $10 donations or I'm torching them!

Have I doomed myself by routinely calling them Perilous Pissrags?

No. I've actually picked up on your habit, so I'm hoping that we'll be starting a movement.

I've been wiping my ass with one, once a week, for years.

Me too!

No more curses after Orange Bowl jinx destroyed in '86

I've also heard a weird, unconfirmed suspicion that the team that scores more points always wins the game. I know, eerie isn't it!
