Long Time Losers
 
OK, I'm going to just admit right up front that I'm a Baltimore Orioles Fan. They don't suck the way that many teams suck, but then again they never fail to disappoint.

But you stick with your team, because one day they might do good, and then you can say "I was there". You root and cheer in hopes that you can say, "I was there back when they sucked". Every opening season is a clean slate where you hope you can say, "I believed in these idiots back in the day".

Sadly, the statistics don't lie. The great teams are already acting... greatly?

So, Who's your favorite sucky team?

Montreal Canadiens.

They missed the Playoffs AGAIN this year. But I stick with them, and in a couple of years, you'll see. They'll be on to Cup #25.

Yeah baby! Habs all the way.

And Orioles fan, there is a rumor in Montreal that if Vlad Guerrero might sign with the O's next year.

Edmonton Oilers.

I love the Oilers. And they always lose to Dallas.

*sigh*

maximusveritas 04-20-2003 10:01 PM

Arizona Cardinals here. Enough said.

joneseyjones 04-20-2003 10:15 PM

minnesota timberwolves.

long live gerald glass.

bundy 04-21-2003 06:18 AM

St Kilda Saints. time to change the losing streak!

Zesty 04-21-2003 06:21 AM

Toronto Maple Leafs

Are they ever going to win the cup?

jmf1234 04-21-2003 06:54 AM

Here In Pittsburgh we have the pirates and the penguins. Quick, name somebody who plays for the pirates.

Pretty hard, right?.

but you have to feel for Miami: the Heat, the Panthers and the Marlins. shudder.

And Cleveland: Cavs, Indians and Browns.

In Fact all of Ohio's pro sports teams suck: the ones from Cleveland and the Bengals, Blue Jackets and the Reds.

gov135 04-21-2003 08:22 AM

I'm a big Cleveland sports fan, and yeah, thats tough.

But the Cubs probably take it as the luvable losers.

RAMONES!!! 04-21-2003 09:38 AM

devil rays will never win,


jmf1234- lofton, giles, kendall, ahhhh Reggie something:)

Giant Hamburger 04-21-2003 10:17 AM

Ahh, the Houston Astros.
They have yet to win a playoff series.
It used to be like this for all Houston teams until the blessed Rockets changed my life in 1994. I am a much more relaxed sports fan since their back-to-back championships. If the Astros could do this my head would probably explode.

healyk 04-21-2003 11:10 AM

I've been a Bengals fan since the days of Forrest Gregg and Ken Andersen. Painful. But, on the bright side, I never have problems with playoff games interfering with holiday plans.

MikeyChalupa 04-21-2003 11:14 AM

New York Rangers. Highest payroll in the NHL, yet no playoff appearances since 1997.

Buffalo Bills... 'Nuff said.

-Mikey

Daval 04-21-2003 11:50 AM

I agree, Maple Leafs are dissapointing :(

K-Billy 04-21-2003 01:38 PM

I like the Reds. They used to be good, but nowit appears like the curse of Cincinnati. For more examples, see the Bearcats and Bengals.

I know the Bearcats made the NCAA tournament, but they always do bad in it.

paddyjoe 04-21-2003 02:10 PM

Buffalo Sabres
Boston Red Sox
Cleveland Browns

Why not be a loser for all seasons?

SACKINGSFAN 04-21-2003 02:24 PM

I'm a Huge kings fan and i have been for the longest time and they used to suck monkey balls for the longest time, But i always hope to see Golden state do good but alas that will never happen and for football its the Cleveland Browns just because i fill bad about what happen to them, there team gets taken away and then they will it all poor guys

NoCure 04-22-2003 08:55 AM

Cleveland Indians...so so close :(

holtmate 04-22-2003 09:53 AM

I am another of the suffering Cincinnati fans. We used to have great teams...then Mike Brown took over, and the Reds invested in a hard-working, oft-maligned center fielder. And don't forget the aging shortstop. Not that I have a problem with Griffey or Larkin...both great players. It's just that a lot of the money tied up in their contracts could theoretically go to better pitching...all right. I'm ranting now...I'll stop.

troit 04-22-2003 10:01 AM

My favorite football team is the Cowboys. Been a fan since the Danny White, TooTall Jones, TD and Randy White days.

I can get by with their basement play over the last few years because they were on top not too long ago and those memories are enough to hold me over until they rise again to prominence (Let's Go Tuna!!!)

Its these reason though that we have a favorite team -- to weather the low times and enjoy the ride when on top.

Prophecy 04-22-2003 10:17 AM

The Portland Blazers, they're my second fav basketball team next to the Lakers. The Blazers always start out well, then self-destruct before the hit payday. With all the talent thats been on the team its sad to never see them anywhere near a western conf. final game.

smarm 04-22-2003 10:31 AM

Cubbies (69... what a year)
Bears (remember the eighties!)
Bills (Levy, Levy, Levy)

I'da listed Braves before 92... (Murph... sigh)

It's been so long, though... I'll be happy if the O's finish at .500 this year. It's tough competing with the Yankees and Boston in the same division.

laconic1 04-22-2003 02:25 PM

Denver Nuggets. I remember back in the '80s when they were a perennial playoff team, then Bertram Lee and Peter Bynoe bought the team, installed Bernie Bickerstaff, and blew it all to hell.

The_Dude 04-22-2003 02:57 PM

buffalo bills

hotzot 04-22-2003 08:31 PM

red sox ugh!:(

bparkermts 04-22-2003 09:27 PM

No one's said the Blues?

matteo101 04-23-2003 10:26 AM

Toronto Blue Jays...

Liquor Dealer 04-23-2003 10:52 AM

The Boyz will be back - I feel really bad about the way they treated Emmit!

GuttersnipeXL 04-23-2003 01:19 PM

I'm a Minnesota Vikings fan! I think they are the masters of sucking but I love 'em anyway! Seriously though...our boys need help.

Yeah. It's too bad that Edmonton is on such a tight budget in terms of player salary. Dallas-Edmonton series are always the best to watch. It would be nice, however, to see Edmonton come in with the upper-hand at least once.

VinnyLSU 04-23-2003 03:19 PM

New Orleans Aints. One. Playoff win. Ever. =(

grumpyolddude 04-24-2003 01:54 PM

I've got the Detroit Tigers and Lions here. They're conning us with new stadiums and new coaches, but it's the memories of '68 and '84 that keep me coming back. The Red Wings and Pistons help us to get by, but we need some warm weather hope.

Brian Fellows 04-24-2003 05:44 PM

Milwaukee Brewers! 10 straight losing seasons now working on their 11th, can't argue with that.

dragon2fire 04-24-2003 11:48 PM

hmmm couple of my favs come to mind

well living in the midwest i am of course a cubs fan

the pacers have not won it all since the aba so yea

and the clots o yes the colts start off every year with such a great roster

then a injury or two later they get blown out of the playoffs


or my favorite they give up a touch down in the last seconds to lose and later on review they seen the guy was out of bounds

sigh

go colts

poit77 04-25-2003 10:22 PM

I live outside of Boston and am not a basketball fan. If it wasn't for the Pats a couple of years ago, I'd still be waiting for a championship that meant anything to me in my lifetime.

sheepdog 04-26-2003 07:14 PM

Dallas Cowboys, ive been a fan since i was around 8 years old, yeah i know they used to be great and arent really long time losers, but lately..ugh

and then theres the red sox...i dont even know what to say..always so much promise, yet so little success

Hix 04-26-2003 09:57 PM

Oh yeah! A big time loser Red Sox fan for 20 years but someday....

dragon2fire 04-26-2003 10:53 PM

got to love the curse of the bamb bine o
