It's enough to fill you with cheesehead dread.

If the Steelers were playing any other team in Super Bowl XLV a week from today, there would be no cause for concern. Unfortunately, their opponent happens to be the Packers, who hail from Green Bay, which happens to be in Wisconsin.

So, too, is the headquarters of McArthur Towel and Sports. Located in Baraboo, Wisc., the 121-year-old company designs and distributes a host of licensed products for various professional and collegiate sports teams.

Among those products is a certain piece of brightly colored terrycloth that is waved wildly by frenzied supporters of a certain local football franchise that has enjoyed a bit of success over the years.

It's slowly dawning on you, isn't it? You're getting a sick feeling in your stomach as you wait for confirmation of a suspicion whose potential ramifications are causing you to break out into a cold sweat...........

Didn't the Seahawks and the Cardinals both try to copy the Terrible Towel to no avail?

This company might have just sealed the fate of the Green Bay Packers.

The Terrible Towel is poised to strike!

What's the worst they could do? All the Stiller fans already have towels.

Legally, the can't make any changes to it, they don't own it. The Allegheny Valley School owns the Terrible Towel and therefore have to authorize any change to the Towel.

That would be sweet if they do that.
