Superstitious? If so, how/what?

I just refrain from saying things like “we got this in the bag” or on 3rd and 15+ saying “there’s no way they’ll convert this.” It is uncanny how every single time I say this type of stuff, the opposite happens.

So if I or anyone I’m with say these things, I immediately knock on wood. It’s like an agreement that I have with karma. We’re cool. *knocks on wood*


Last season when we played the bears, Trubisky ripped off a decent little 8 yard run or so. To which my dad remarked “oh well he’s not gonna beat is with his legs.” I said “dad knock on wood right now!” He said “no. He’s NOT gonna beat us with his legs.” I **** you not...the very next play.....he scampered for 50+ yards. Dad knocks on wood now
