Can't say that I do.
But why is it only baseball that this thing about certain feats (like a no-hitter), and other sports don't? I've never understood that. It's one thing in a dugout. I get leaving Poche on the other side by himself (although he could easily start thinking about it and blow it), but why on other do people believe that talking about it on a broadcast or the internet is going to jinx it?
Hell, Lynn and Ben were basically saying everything but no-hitter on TV. Lynn kept hinting at it. And Doug Thompson kept saying "still no hits" after the top of every inning.
I don't get it. Either talk about it or don't.
In that regard, side walk football fans are probably worse, because the side walk baseball fans likely don't know all the "unwritten rules" of the game. Can't hold that against them.
However, I don't know that any sidewalk fan is a good one.

no clue why it's not like that in any other sport, but they need to extend it toward kickers in football.
maybe it's because i was a baseball player and a still a fan that i notice it, but i see this often:
"he's lining up for a 25 yard chip shot. He's perfect on the season from inside 40 yards. and he shanks it off the upright"
