“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.”

**Ravenswintitle** · 11-21-2012, 09:19 AM

pretty sure the Titans beat Pitt earlier this year and that was thrown from a fan. Screw em it's a rag

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.

**Ravenblue** · 11-21-2012, 09:23 AM

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.

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.

Worry about the Brownies Woodley.

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.

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!

**NCCRavensFan** · 11-21-2012, 10:21 AM

If someone throws a sweat rag at me and I'm sweaty, I'm going to use it goddamn it!

**Coastergenius** · 11-21-2012, 12:25 PM

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

**Corey** · 11-21-2012, 12:28 PM

Whatever. I think there is one key difference between what Ray did and what everyone else did . Housh shined his shoes with towel. The Titans stomped on the towel. Ray had it on his head, probably because it was thrown at him.

**Sua Sponte** · 11-21-2012, 12:29 PM

Non-Story, but lets be real here as well, he is not even being dis-respectful, he is wearing the piss cloth on his head, not cleaning his spikes or stomping on it. Get over it.

**palukaraven** · 11-21-2012, 12:36 PM

No such thing. The Steelers will lose again in a week and a half when they come to M&T Bank Stadium.

**stevez51** · 11-21-2012, 02:39 PM

They may lose this week to the Browns. Their D sacked Romo 7 times last week.

**DrUnk** · 11-21-2012, 02:43 PM

Shows the stupidity of the Steelers and their fans. Like a magic rag makes them win. What a bunch of idiots.

Doesn't Woodley look more like a douche that he already is? You read and make the call.

Rice said he intended no disrespect by wearing the towel, which he traded his gloves for with a Steelers fan.

"I actually asked a fan to trade like I've been trading jerseys with guys at the end of the game," Rice said. "So, I didn't stomp it or do anything wrong. I actually walked out with it and I think I'm going to save it and put it in my basement to cherish the rivalry. It's not like you get out there and do derogatory stuff and spit, no none of that stuff. If you think about it, where I'm at in my career, you cherish these rivalries, cherish the moments.

"I apologize to those who saw it as disrespectful. For me, I thought it was a pretty cool gesture, exchanging my gloves with a fan and walking out with it. Obviously, getting a victory there was cool and I leave it in the past. Their fans are great, the organization is great and the rivalry is always going to continue to be great. To have something in your basement to know what the rivalry is all about is pretty cool I've been exchanging jerseys with guys. My basement is geting pretty colorful down there with other teams' stuff. [Having the towel was] not maliciously, just more out of respect."
