Crow does not taste good. Not to mention trash talk usually distracts the talker more than the target. Then there's that karma or jinx thing. It took 30yrs to get past the Bo Jackson curse. If you have a lucky game shirt, socks, underwear, pants, hat or whatever, then you know what I'm talking about. Just don't want to mess around with that stuff and it leaves an uncomfortable feeling in the gut of us who know better than to piss off the football gods.
