The Yankees give people grief? THE YANKEES?!?!
FUUUUUUUUUUUUU.........
Must be hard having to be a fan of a team who makes the Playoffs every year, signs every big name free agent they want, and have won the World Series 5 out of the last 7 times they've gone (all of which have been in the past two decades).
Talk to me when your team hasn't won a World Series in over a hundred years and hasn't even been to one since 1945. Now that is plight!

0-16 doesn't compare to having your franchise stolen from you. Fighting the NFL tooth and nail to keep your name records and colors. Then watching as the illegal franchise that was formed with your old team wins the Super Bowl. Then you have to sit and watch as their criminal owner who stole your team lifts the Lombardi trophy. 0-16 is tiddlywinks compared to that. I'll take year of 0-16 over 4 long years of 0-0 any day. True that. I love the Lions, good times and bad times, and if they were suddenly taken away from us and moved somewhere else, I'd be devastated. I was more disappointed than I was mad or angry during the 0-16 season. But there was only one way to go from there. The Pacers are starting to confuse me. They beat the Lakers AND Heat on the road this season. This is a better team than they are playing as right now. Come on guys, I said the Browns were the only other team that were an exception to this. Besides, I'd honestly would take 3 seasons (you knew you were getting them back) without the Lions in exchange for them to be a respectable franchise. The Ravens winning SB 35 is a real punch to the gut though, so I do sympathize with Browns fans, but thats the only other NFL team I will do it for. You have to realize though, Its not just the 0 - 16, its the last 50 plus years as a whole. Yeah Cubs fans can complain about going over 100 without a championship, but yet they still pack Wrigley every year, and revel in their reputation as lovable losers, and the Cubs make money hand over fist. It's just frustrating. |

I know not every Cubs fan is like that, but it does feel like a good majority of them are. As for the Lions... I miss the days when Wayne Fontes Job was on the line every year if he didn't make the playoffs, and somehow it seemed like he always did. They never won when they got there, but at least they did get there. And they follow that up with Matt F'n Millen? I could go on and on. Bad drafts, bad free agent signings, a curse that hardly anyone knew about, yet it seemed to hold weight considering the final year of it was the ::sigh:: 0 - 16 season. At least the future is looking good.....for the time being. |

Hm, almost forgot about the self-righteous, inwardly jealous Yankee haters giving me grief. You won't find me there. I really take an inordinate (and quite possibly insane) amount of joy in being a Mets and a National League fan. The Yankees do drive me nuts as a baseball fan, since I think their payroll practices aren't healthy for the league, but I also recognize that they're not breaking any rules, sadly. That said, I can't say I'm jealous, because I could never comprehend being a Yankees fan (the "World Series or bust" mind set eludes me), and I don't want to win like them. I know the Mets have a plenty high payroll, but $200 million gives you an enormous amount of room for error. That's why I hate listening to Mets fans who whine about us not spending like the Yankees. If they want us to play like, spend like, and be like the Yankees...why not just go root for the Yankees? |

I know not every Cubs fan is like that, but it does feel like a good majority of them are. I would say that a Cubs fan that likes a reputation for losing is not really a fan. And there are plenty of Cubs fans that aren't really fans of the Cubs, if that makes sense at all. |

The San Diego Chargers.
Multiple times they've gone to the playoffs, multiple times it looks like they're gonna go to the Super Bowl after a good season. And for whatever reason, just as they're about to make it, they fumble. There's a screw up, and all they have to show for a season is an AFC division championship. This has happened so many times in recent years that it's not even funny.
This year just seems like a complete crapfest. Chargers have a relatively easy season, one that should've guaranteed our spot in the playoffs. Instead, we have a lackluster season, complete with losing TWICE to the Raiders (a team that couldn't beat the Chargers for 8 years). It just makes me sad to think we have potential, and we squander it.

The Edmonton Oilers. Twenty years of being a mediocre team or a awful team. Smallest NHL market so we are in constant stress that we maybe relocated to another city. Top players don't want to play with us. Top elite players who played with us wants to be traded the next season after. Top players get injured throughout the rest of the season. Promising prospects that are only good during their first run with Edmonton and bust the next season after. Years of horrible GM's. Losing the Stanley Cup finals in 2006 during our miracle run because the goaltender who got us there gets injured in Game One and Ty Conklin's horrible goaltending and does the most idiotic thing which results to the game winning goal for Carolina. Also that was the last time we ever qualified for the playoffs.

Packers, Manchester United and Bristol City fan.
Of course it's Bristol City, a soccer team. The playoff disaster, hiring David afro James, hearing how they're going to be one of the first premier league south west team and having them s*** the bed for the first six months of games. Then fans spend the second half of the season hoping we don't get relegated.

Before 2004, the Red Sox. Rooting for a national punchline and being conditioned to expect the worse was not fun. People now complain about the bandwagon "Pink Hat" fans and all the Red Sox merchandising plastered everywhere, but that's a lot more preferable than what went on before where you felt that the team was doomed to never win the World Series again.

Liverpool. Football. Club.
To quote Nicholas Cage in Deadfall, F**********************K!
Almost going into bankruptcy & generally not winning anything for a while I've almost lost all faith. Torres getting injured was enough to make me not bother watching games for absolutely ages. Ugh.

I'm a fan of all Detroit teams and the Memphis Grizzlies and Tigers. The Red Wings are the only really good team of the bunch, and I'm only a fan of them by proxy because I rarely watch hockey. The Pistons haven't been good lately, but they always have a shot of making the playoffs in the weak Eastern conference. The Lions...bleh...but I seriously think they could be good next year. (I say that every year though...) The Detroit Tigers just missed the playoffs again. The Memphis Grizzlies are just outside of the playoff picture. The Memphis Tigers haven't been the same basketball team since Coach Cal left, and our football team has been ass for years.

I'm a Philadelphia Eagles fan. Enough said.
The Flyers kill me too, but not on the same level of excruciating pain.

Philadelphia teams are generally a 4-piece package deal, and if someone breaks form it's to add some bandwagon team like the Yankees or Lakers. You sad, sad man. |
