What sports' teams do you love to see lose? It doesn't get any better
for me than seeing any team from Philly bite it. Watching the Flyers take it in the shorts Saturday made my weekend. The only way it could have been better would have been if the Flyers had tied the game only to lose it in OT.:evilgrin:

33. Actually, I've always kinda liked the Cowboys
Especially now that I've adopted Texas as my home state. (And since they're in the NFC they rarely play against the Chiefs).

My wife still hates the Cowboys, however.....

44. Hibernian, but I followed Partick when I lived in Glasgow.
I just get fed up with Ranger & Celtic dominating Scottish Football

54. I understand
When I lived in London I had a mate who was in Glasgow and I used to spend a lot of time up there.
He was a Rangers fanatic and seemed to think that because I'm catholic, albeit a recovering one, I should naturally follow Celtic.

I said "Sod off! I wanna be different."
So I followed Partick instead.

Yeah, it's ridiculous really how just those two clubs win everything, all the time.
When was the last time another club won the premiership there?
Aberdeen back in the Alex Ferguson days, wasn't it?

I reckon there should be a British Premier League, with the top English clubs like Arsenal, Man United, Liverpool, Millwall ;) and Rangers and Celtic participating.
In fact, I can't believe this hasn't happened yet.

56. Sorry, boss
As soon as Sosa leaves and takes his effiminate homer hop with him, I'll stop hating the Cubs - there's no one else on the team I have a problem with.

I happen to be one of those who can look down an entire team because of one guy and his behavior (don't ask why, I just am), and Sosa's homer hop offends me like you can't imagine.

Those times where I see him do his hop and it doesn't go out make me ecstatic, and whoever catches one of his "hopped" balls becomes my favorite player until I see someone else do it. As of right now, based on that criteria, Jeromy Burnitz is my favorite player.

13. any Philly team
Edited on Mon May-24-04 11:26 AM by Neo Progressive
only because their fans are degenerates :D but in all seriousness, philly fans go ape-shit over the smallest mistakes, and it's fun to watch the entire city melt down over a stupid hockey game or meaningless regular season baseball game.

And Duke, because the Blue Devils are douchebags.

15. The Denver Bronco's
Born and raised in this town, and there is nothing that makes my day as to see the donkeys lose. The energy of the whole city cycles up and down with wins and losses during the season. It doesn't matter who the couch is, or who they have playing for them, after all these years they still play like donkeys. Open field tackling is poor, weak offensive line, and forget about scoring on 4th and goal. Other than that they play well.

Though hats off to Phillybri, trying to do all he can to break the mold of the average Philly sports fan that everyone loves to hate.

On edit: I hate the Yankees above all else. If the Yankees were playing a pick up game against the Bush Regime, I'd cheer for Bush. Of course, I'd cheer more vigorously for stadium implosion, but that's another story... :evilgrin:

Plenty of impressive Gators on DU, but tough zookies. I even root against Gatorade.

The NCAA basketball tournament does not begin until slimy, stuffy Duke is ousted. We should be donating to Connecticut, along with Kerry.

Come on, 40+ posts and no one loathes the overrated 'Canes with all the undeserved titles and those phony first-round picks with single-digit scores on intelligence tests? The school that shamefully abandoned the Big East and would have dropped football altogether if Rick Reilly had as much influence as stupidity.

We have earned some abuse.

And anyone who doesn't like Brock Berlin is OK by me.
