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.
So no actual tangible reason other than "feelings" and silly superstitions?
I would argue that being brash and cocky forces guys to have to up their game to back up the talking. As far as eating crow, only the trash talker has to do that, not the fans. Obviously, our players aren't too concerned about having to eat crow, so why should we be?
