Freakin Towels

[macbrak]

So does every team have a horrible Hankey now?

Looks like it to me.

I had a feeling they made towels because they were playing the Ravens. Didn't see any Ravens stomping on them or wiping their behinds with them after the game.

Those towels are annoying, I hope Baltimore doesn't hop on that bandwagon too

They should have though.

I'm tired of all these teams (and the NFL) copying the terrible towel. Bengals, Browns and Giants had towels too.

I think they are annoying as hell no matter what team has them. As long as I can remember, they have done that sort of thing at Oriole games with the freebies (waiving t-shirts, etc.)

Waving a t-shirt is more practical than waving a towel; at least you can wear the shirt later if you so choose, while the towel is just a decorative item and I doubt anyone would really use it for its original, intended use.

My favorite stadium give away was the cammo bandanna a couple of years ago. I have quite a collection of Ravens towels, they look great on the bar if they are big enough. They did not give out anything this year.

For the AFC champ game...I am going to have my 18 month old little girl wear one as a diaper and feed here beans and prunes all day. Should have some nice You-Tube video of that one!

It's such a stupid thing to copy in the first place. I never understood how a towel is supposed to instill fear into opposing teams. Swing some running purple chainsaws around...now THAT'S intimidation.

HAHA...yeah I know. It would make for a messy day.

All in good fun. No way in heck will I be able to walk into a store here in B'more with Ravens' gear on all week and be able to buy (or even find) a T Towel. It would make for some amusing video...but not an amused wife!

You'd definitely be in deep with the wife.
