Rayzer32 Posted February 4, 2005 Share Posted February 4, 2005 What is with the bad karma for certain players leading up to the SB. I recall these few incidents in recent memory. Feel free to add more. Ray Buchanan getting popped humping a prostitute days before the SB. Barrett Robbins going on a major drunk and dissappearing before the Raiders SB. Ray Lewis accused of shooting someone. Tom Brady's grandmother taking a pass. I know most of these are brought on by the player themselves getting into that situation, but why right before the big game?? At least Rae Carruth plotted to have his wife killed during a down time of the year. These guys are whacked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon Posted February 4, 2005 Share Posted February 4, 2005 Ray Buchanan getting popped humping a prostitute days before the SB. I don't remember who it was, but it definitely wasn't Ray Buchanan. I've always liked that little bastard and would remember if it was him. And whoever it was got nailed when he asked for a "mouthie". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fezmid Posted February 4, 2005 Share Posted February 4, 2005 Don't forget the Bengal in '88 who did drugs and missed the game... However, most of these examples aren't bad luck, they're lack of self control... CW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
