Way to go Carson! You just doomed your team and ensured a good year for us. EVERY TIME someone does that on TV the Steelers win out.
He don’t know what he’s just done. The curse lives on…🖤🧡🏈
exactly
I love seeing Ryan Shazier up and walking around and part of this video presentation.
“The Terrible Towel is poised to STRIKE!”
-Myron Cope
Let's goooooo Steelers Nation
Hey Carson, be careful. Disrespecting the towel that way, means you're in trouble.
Myron Cope is a Pittsburgh legend!!!! This is Myron Cope on..........Sports!❤️💪
"Yoi and Double Yoi" !!!
Did Carson just wipe his nose with the Terrible Towel?
Carson just wiped his nose how disrespectful 🤬 and I'm very offended and when someone does that Steelers go to the super bowl
Carson is still sore about the Kimo hit.
The Curse of Myron Cope has been activated >:)
What a great tradition to be apart of. I grew up in the 70's watching the Steelers. Steelers nation bleeds Black and Yellow. Love my Steelers!!!
It's black and gold but it looks yellow
@@sleepinglady2778facts
Nobody ever said black and yellow until that jinx of a song came out by Wiz ever since then they lost the bowl to gb and havent been close to going back even with all the talent they have had over the years. Black and gold til I'm dead and cold has been the saying for many decades.
@@vegastjg facts
I have my own terrible towel autographed by Coach Mike Tomlin (the BEST Coach in the NFL!
Go Steelers 🏈👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
This is so phenomenal! Go Steelers
Realll classy Carson, as every Steelers fan knows when the towel is disrespected, brings us good luck!!!!!🎉
Congratulations to Carson Palmer and the rest of the 2005-2006 World Champion Cincinnati Bengals….oh wait, that was us! Go Steelers
I have quite a few of these in my collection.
Have team, will travel. STEELERS NATION!
Those Terrible Towels. Thanks Myron Cope for your investment to our franchise and organization and history. They are a part of our legacy now.
HERE WE GO!!! Got my towel ready! Carson, I will thank you when we win the Super Bowl.
Anyone that's from western Pennsylvania. Far eastern Ohio, West Virginia and Western Maryland, knows that's Steeler country!
Black and Gold!
northeastern and north central pa are usually Steelers fans aswell, we have more in common with Pittsburgh than we do the philly area, blue collar coal miners and such.
@@kxi529I live in the Philly burbs and there's a lot of Steelers Nation here, as well as NJ and even in Delaware.
So is SC pa . Go Steelers and long live Myron . Yoi and double yoi.
RIP to the great Myron Cope
Towel. Singular. We are one Steeler Nation.
1:29 CARSON! You Son of a gun!!!
Never a doubt that I am helping my Steelers when I wave my towel!
Carson. Look up the terrible towel curse.. you just violated the line..
bad mojo coming for you Carson. Never disrespect the terrible towel
LETS GO STEELERS!
Steeler Nation 💛🖤💛🖤
GO STILLERS!!!!
Here We Go Steelers!
You guys came thru!! I work at lil earth I have a yellow mask on my head 🤣🤣so awesome hope you enjoyed Pittsburgh!
Nothing can match our Terrible Towels
My first Terrible Towel has never been washed cause It never gets dirty
still have my original towel
The disrespect he did for wiping his nose with the towel.
Facts man I saw him do that I bet he did it on purpose probably a ravin fan
Steeler Nation we cant let carson disrespect us like that
SALUTE 👍🏾 ( I AM A TERRIBLE TOWEL OWNER MYSELF ) .... LET'S GO STEELERS FOOTBALL 🏈 NATION
Carson's a douchbag for wiping his nose like that.
Never disrespect the Terrible Towel
Carson looked like a teenager that made a dumb bet with one person to do something stupid on TV for $5.
I cant watch a game without my towel in hand. Its a tradition for me, a superstition to most. Its our thing - a Steelers thing.
Wave them towels baby!!!! Here we go....
Carson might’ve cursed his squad for life with the nose blow 😂. I don’t think he realizes the consequences
Awesome
Shazier is an impressive man.
Time to dig through Carson’s post history Steeler Nation.
I have a 150 Terrible Towels !! All different kinds. I still have the first one my Grandfather bought me at Three Rivers Stadium in 1975 !!!
The Today show is WOKE AF would never of clicked on this if it was not about the BEST city in Pennsylvania !! Not Philly and Kensington ave !
STILLERS GAHNTA SUPER BOWL!!!!
He gifted it to AVS because his son Danny went there
Good luck charm? It’s just something us Steelers fans do in solidarity. Especially after tailgating for 4 hours and drinking enough to make a Browns fan fall face first into the pavement
I was about to say Carson wiping his nose with the towel just cursed him for the next 5 years. Guaranteed bad luck for showing disrespect
“He ain’t no head of lettuce…JEROME BETTIS!”
Shame on you Carson the real meaning of the terrible towel is something you do not understand. If you did you would not be wiping your nose on it!
steelers til death
🔥🔥
1:31 yeah bet, let me catch Carson out in the streets, it’s a wrap
Careful blowing your nose with the Taul! Or shine your shoes! Playoff loses will follow😂😂. Go Stillers!! Mmm ha! Oy and double Oy!!
Blow your nose at your own peril, Daly.
💛
I thought so.
I understand the jaguars disrespected the towel and today 1/7/24 they lost their game that would have put them in the playoff lineup.
Wave it
Save USA pittsburgh steel peter is 80s flashback rocker
Now every team has their own version so it is part of the NFL in general now.
No it isn’t
The copycat towels by those other teams is to make the NFL more money, but there's only one true towel baby. I love how Myron gifted it to those kids.
Poor sportsmanship and offense behavior pretending to blow your nose - classless
The year was 1972 not 1975. And the color was is gold not yellow.
Steelers website says 75 🤷🏼♂️
The Steelers played in two playoff games in 1972, the first game against the Raiders ended with one of the most famous plays in NFL history. There were no Terrible Towels at that game. The first Steelers players that fans saw embrace the TT were Swann & Stallworth, both of whom joined the team in 1974. In short, it was 1975 for certain.
🦬
I use them as toilet paper.🤣
Keep wiping, thanks for driving Steelers merch sales 🤣🤣
Boycott Little Earth Productions.
I own 6.
STEELER NATION 🖤💛
The towel has a cope curse disrespect the towel and get bad things happen ask cincy or the jags this year its real people the cope curse follows anybody who disrespects it !!
