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?

Quadraton · 04-20-2003, 07:25 PM

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.

FunHater · 04-20-2003, 10:00 PM

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

hotzot · 04-22-2003, 08:31 PM

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....
