Maybe Ray should also find a poster with 6 Super Bowl rings on it. Since thats the only way he will ever add one of tthose to his collection. Then he can say “theres the terrible towel from our division rivals, and theres how many rings they have. Wheres my ring you ask? I never won one. But we beat them in the regular season a few times.”

I live in baltimore and I was told by several fans (before reading this story) that a Steelers fan threw a towel at him which is why he put it on his head, which in their head was justification for him putting the towel on his head.

Ray Rice needs not apologize to the garbage that is Steeler Nation. We the Ravens own them. They are old and pose no threat to Raven Nation. May god have mercy on their souls.

Too late for an apology you’ll be punished in the playoffs. Should of just stayed with the jersey collecting.

Rice was wise to issue an apology. This rivalry doesn’t need more fuel for the fire. As a Steelers fan, I found it disrespectful. Like Woodley said, If your not a Steelers fan don’t wave the terrible towel.

“C’mon Man”

The only person who should apologize is Mike Tomlin for his poor and idiotic coaching decisions against the Ravens.

Nice gesture by Rice. Of course this proves beyond a shadow of doubt that the curse of the World Famous Terrible Towel is true and he is tring to prevent the inevitable. Unfortunately for the Ravens, history proves it is too late, the damage of the desecration is done and can’t be reversed. Myron said so.

As a western-PA raised Steeler fan, it’s still easy to like Ray Rice. Nice kid, brings a solid all around game and is a fighter. Ray Rice. is alright. But he better buckle up next go ’round.

As for Woodley, he too handled this well. He didn’t go all spazmo, and have a T.O. (“That’s my quarterback”) type of moment.

Two hard-nosed smashmouth teams that really bring it, especially when they butt heads together. We always want to beat Baltimore, but we can still respect them.

Here, Rice and Wood were both cool in this instance, and each of these guys have always been solid in their careers prior. No need to hate on one or the other based on jersey colors.

Anyways I still remember That pass in the endzone in the afc championship game or that missed field goal? Things I’m thankful for on Thanksgiving

Ray Rice has been a class act since entering the league. I don’t think that there was anything meant by it. Stop being such homers…trying to make something out of nothing just because you lost. And You can argue all you want about who had a better game between Woodley and Rice but the bottom line is that Balt beat Pit. Football is a team game and I’m sure if you asked any great player what is more important, personal stats or wins, it’ll always be wins. Please remove head from rear end and think before you speak

Where is Lamar Woodley apology? Accusing Ray Rice without any evidence.

Larry Foote, yes, the same guy that plays for the Steelers say it best: Lamar Woodley needs to shut up and play football.

If you have a problem with that, Lamar, you should have won the damn game.

“what a liar. another ravens player had a towel too and they were both waving them as they left the stadium to mock the fans and steelers players. this will come back to bite them.”
No, it won’t. It’s a freaking towel, and nobody besides obsessed steeler fans will even remember this in a year or two.
Your just grasping at straws. The ravens have pretty much dominated the steelers recently, so the steeler fans have to find SOMETHING to talk about besides losing to their hated rivals.

Before anyone starts bashing the Terrible Towel please keep in mind that all the proceeds from the sales of Terrible Towels go to benefit a school in PA that cares for people with physical and mental disabilities. The creator of the towel – Myron Cope – gave the rights to the towel to the school in 1996. The sales of the towels have raised millions of dollars for this school. I guess my thoughts are there are a great many people posting responses here about using the towels as toilet paper and on and on with utter nonsense – some of us need to grow up and act like adults. Whether you like the Steelers or not, or Steelers fans or not….grow up, have some class, and realize that this towel means a great deal to a great many people because of the money raised to help less fortunate people.

I hate the ravens, but rice seems to be all class. Its a shame he plays for the other team in the best rivalry in sports!

I wish people would quit acting like a little yellow towel used by the fans of a sports team is somehow on par with the American flag.

Steeler fan and season ticket holder here. Over the years I’ve come into the possession of 10 plus terrible towels and to be able to trade one of those towels for a star players game gloves…I say hell ya!!! I’m still not quite sure how Rice disrespected the towel by wearing it on his head, it’s not like he stomped on it on the sideline or spit on it. Now shut up you make us look bad! “Here we go!!!”

Crap. On Kruger’s hands. Kruger is wearing gloves. Rice isn’t.

That’s what I get for posting from a phone.

Ravens fans thank God every day that Ben and Troy did not play that game. but the Ravens did win and there is no taking that back.

Let me help the whining , uptight, mouth-breathing Steelers fans out (no disrespect to the five Steelers fans on Earth who are smart enough to figure it out for themselves): see those things on his hands? Those are gloves. See that thing on Rice’s hand? Obviously not a glove.

Tempest in a teapot. Brought to you by: social media.

Rice’s gracious words and explanation about his collection of opponents’ paraphernalia is the most interesting thing about this story. Hope a sports writer from the Baltimore Sun takes a camera and heads over to Rice’s house.

I’ve never heard anyone else say this, so I will……While watching the game the other night, it dawned on me that Ray Rice looks like he could be Byron Leftwich’s kid brother….Seriously, google images of both and you’ll see, they look like brothers!

As a Steeler fan I hate to say this but what is a Steeler fan doing giving up their towel to a Raven. You should be ashamed. And shut up Woodley cuz you are highly overrated

@ steelfla
what you’ve just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul.

It’s obvious Ray took a beating in the game by the Pittsburgh defense (40 yards total !) and is now backpeddling in the hopes that he calls off the Steelers defense for the rematch that he doesn’t have a repeat of his pathetic rushing performance. Nice try Ray, it won’t work. Here’s to you (and Flacco) getting pounded again by the Steelers defense.

If you do want as “memorabilia”, why walk around waving it and put it on your head?….put it in your pocket, be quite, and go about your business. Still does view well when you do that.

Where do you think the name “terrible towel” came from? People wiping their ass with it. Duh.
