NOTABLE and CREEPY examples:World Juniors Hockey Tournament. Gold Medal game. Canada up 3-0 heading into the third period.  Brother arrives at home, Russia scores first goal. Starts arguing with my parents, Russia scores second goal, comes down, comments on how great of a game it is, Russia scores third goal.  Continues to watch rest of the game, Russia completes epic comeback 5-3Flash forward to Super Bowl Sunday. Packers styling over Steelers throughout first half.  My brother is at home, but sleeping.  He wakes up around the start of the third quarter, comes down stairs, all of a sudden the steelers are close to tying.  I get REALLY NERVOUS/ANXIOUS/ANGRY, superstition is confirmed.  He leaves to watch the rest of game at friends house. Packers win Super Bowl.I've also been making sure that i wear an even number of packer gear whenever i go out, and made sure to wear the same jersey/sweatshirt combo for the last 6 must win games.I'm apparently superstitious as **** thanks to sports.</blockquote>
