Say a few good things about the sports team you hate the most
For me, that team is the Philadelphia Eagles, being a Dallas fan. I have always admired their toughness and defense, but above all their quarterbacks.

2. As a Cowboys fan, also, I would agree with their toughness. I would also add,
that Cunningham, McNabb, and Jaworsky were all over-rated.

5. I can't, but I will say something nice about their fans.
Toronto Maple Leafs fans are the most loyal, tolerant fans in all of sports. Putting up with the Ballard years...that never would have flown anywhere in Quebec.

As for the team itself...the Leafs suck, their management sucks, their friends and relatives suck, their pets suck, their children are destined to be a burden on society, and so on. The whole group SUCKS.

8. The Red Sox have the best
pitching staff in baseball. At least the deepest. They are the best team in MLB.

That was hard to admit, but it's true.

37. Premier League? Chelsea.
Edited on Sun Jul-12-09 11:06 PM by flvegan
Though I love to watch Liverpool play (so long as they aren't playing Chelsea). Outside EPL, FC Barcelona. Best football team ever, IMO.

40. I thought about the uniforms, particularly since I posted about the LA Dodgers uniforms
I'm a Giants fan also. But the Chelsea uniforms are too blue. Blue shirt, blue shorts. It's too much. I liked their away white shirts last year or the year before. As much as it pains me to say it, the best uniforms in the premier league belong to Tottenham Hotspur.

21. Well, being the current NBA champions, to their fans, I say "That's nice."
And "I'm happy for you. It's fun to root for a winner, isn't it?"

Mostly since I can't say anything nice I say nothing at all.

27. The Dallas Cowpies got it done for the guy who suffered a disabling injury
in the storm at their practice facility.

Then they did it again when a Cowpies fan with an intellectual disability (we don't say "retarded" anymore) was robbed of his extensive collection of Cowpies memorabilia.

What? Are they human or something?! :wtf:

29. I'll take this opportunity to speak of the Arizona State Sun Devils.
Edited on Sun Jul-12-09 06:33 PM by Ptah
In the mid-'80s, some of ASU's finest heckled a former UA baseball coach about
his wife, Georgia, who was dying of Lou Gehrig's disease. Classy.

Yes, this was an isolated incident, possibly started by two drunken fans,
but it was just the first noticeable occurrence of this phenomenon. There is a
clear pattern, which even an ASU student can recognize.

A few years later, ASU fans taunted former UA basketball player Steve Kerr with
chants of "PLO," "Where's your dad?" and "Go back to Beirut."
Earlier in his
Wildcat career, Kerr's father, Malcolm
(the president of American University in Beirut)
was assassinated by terrorists.

Edit to add good thing: It's been a few years since they did that.

30. That Steve Kerr thing is almost as bad as the Eagle fans who cheered
Edited on Sun Jul-12-09 06:38 PM by mix
as Michael Irvin was taken off the field after his career ending injury

perhaps worse come to think of it, Kerr's tragedy that is

32. Steve Kerr didn't knuckle under.
He holds the NBA career three point percentage record. (.454)

He is the only non-Celtic to have four consecutive NBA championships.

41. Michigan
while I hate them, I always want them to do well (except against us, of course). What's the point of a rivalry if the other team sucks?

I've always respected Michigan as a quality program, even though I loathe the weasels :D

Oh, and UM has some fantastic grad programs
