She would shake her chicken foot and pretend she knew some voodoo curse. From then on, we have said "chicken foot chicken foot voodoo curse" when we really need some voodoo help. Its worked so many times that our whole family and some friends say it now. Lol It's only weird if it doesn't work, right?"

Rugby Saint II

Athletes are superstitious. Personally, I have too many superstitions to list them all.

I live in a Saints museum and if we are losing I walk around rearranging different objects during commercial. I stand to the left of the big screen when we win and move to the right when we are down. I will move back and forth throughout the game. I really wear out my carpet because I rarely sit down unless I am having company over for the game.
Edit: My fiance bought new carpet and she had to remove a trash can of carpet fuzz that I had roughed up watching the Falcons game.

Of course I wear my lucky Saints gear(hat down to socks) which changes year to year depending on what works at the time. If nothing is working it's time for a complete make over if we are on a losing streak.

I drink more if we are losing but I'm not sure if that is superstitious or nervousness kicking in.
