Many great comments on day 3. Thanks for participating. Yesterday we discovered that Siggy has an uncanny ability to hold a grudge for over 4 decades. With that in mind, channel your inner Siggy and:
Shill me your most despised team across any sport and why? If you want to give one for each sport even better.
10 sats for all responses and more for the best responses. Bring on the hate.
Cheers, GR
Lol that's easy Manchester United, they have the most insufferable fan base ever and while they were horrible winners when they dominated english football, they're even worse now as sore losers

Hated, adored, never ignored. Classic that United is the top comment even on SN.

Haha love it. I don't follow EPL very closely but I do know Man U is a very popular team with a lot of bandwagon fans.

F*ck the following teams
  • Pittsburg Steelers! - hate that damn towel and just the arrogance of their fans glad they will be shitty for the next few years at least
  • New Jersey Devils- stupid ass boring defensive hockey from the Brodeur days YAWN
  • Kansas City Chiefs - they beat my Bills regularly in the playoffs and it’s pretty annoying
  • New England Patriots 20 years of losing to the pats really boils one’s blood
  • Atlanta Hawks Trae young is a pip-squeak
  • Boston Bruins year in and year out they are good! I hate them with a passion! Glad they lost in the first round this year πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚

Almost missed this reply. Glad I didn't. Great stuff.

Unrelated, but relevant to sports. Anyone playing Immaculate Grid? Basically Wordle for baseball nerds?

Thank you for mentioning this. I saw it on twitter one day and played and then I was at my parent's house for a family bbq and I was trying to tell my dad about it and couldn't remember the name of the damn thing.

It's really fun, but harder than I thought it would be. Stats/awards I doing really well but remembering teams of players is tougher than I believed it would be.

I was at my parents place with the kiddos yesterday. My dad and I worked on yesterday's puzzle and finally got it after about half an hour. It's not easy.

I've always loved rooting against the Cowboys. They really leaned into the flashy showoff model and it's very satisfying to see those kinds of teams fail.
My real answer is the Eagles, for welcoming Vick back into the league. Plus, I can channel my inner Lebowski: "I hate the fuckin' Eagles, man."
reply
My grandfather used to call Dallas' old stadium "Gods Spittoon" because of the hole in the top of Texas Stadium. My hatred for the Cowboys has persisted.
Also, the Eagles 4th and 26 still haunts me to this day. If you know you know.

I remember that. It's been a while. Favre was one of my favorite non-Raider players as a kid.
reply
Must have been a confusing night when Favre threw 4 TDs on Monday night vs the Raiders after his dad died.
I was rooting for Gannon and co back in 02 vs TB.
reply
Almost everything Favre and the Raiders did confused me. That's a big part of why I loved them. It's also why I loved Barry Sanders. The fun of sports is not knowing what's going to happen, and no one embodied that more than them.
reply
Awesome. I am not fond of either of those teams but I would say I hate the Cowgirls more than the Beagles.
