"Schadenfreude in sports" Topic

Who do you most like to see lose? The more ingloriously. the better.

Baseball, the Yankees.

NFL, the Cowboys. Then the Raiders and Ravens.

College football, USC. Then Miami. Then Michigan.
I have mixed feelings about Notre Dame, since my Dad was such a big fan. However, I can spare a grin or two over their current fall from grace.

Is it better to see your favorite hated teams fall and fail miserably in a championship game, or to see them wallow in general mediocrity? Tough call…

I started making up my list and quickly realized I have a general rule based on geography. East of the Mississippi and west of the Rockies = scum sucking, cheating, media ladies of ill repute.

My one exception would be West Brom.

Hockey; Maple Leafs. They've been bad for years now, but I still enjoy every minute of their misery.

College : Michigan, USC, Ohio State, Gators, Texas, North Carolina. And any team Nick Saban coach.

Canadian College Football; Rouge & Or. Any Canadian fan knows perfectly well why I hate them.

NFL; Patriots, first and foremost. Cowboys.

I'll stop here. So many teams to hate, so little time…

College Football: Michigan, Ohio State, USC, the longer the suffering during the season the better. It's been a great year for Wolverine bludgeoning. Sad to see OSU beat Iowa. All is well on the west coast.

Pro Football: Eagles, Cowboys.

Those are the only two sports I care much about these days.

College Football: Texas, Oklahoma, LSU, Alabama, Florida, Florida St., Auburn and Ohio St.

I should say UCLA too but I can't bring myself to do it. I certainly don't cheer for them but since half of the BCS jockeying is defending one's resume, if they suck too much, it hurts USC's SOS, of course that is a moot point this year.

Of course after that 2 point attempt while up 48-21 in the 4th quarter, Stanford and any team Jim Harbaugh ever coaches just made my list. That was classless and in every beating USC has ever dropped on anyone in the last 7 seasons, they never did thst. Ever.

Notre Dame is another one. After their 3-9 season, it just got old. I think the Domers have finally gotten through their skulls that they are not God's gift to College Football. Think about it, if God hates it when wars are fought in His name, how do you think He feels about losing football games?

Pro Football: Eagles, Cowboys, Redskins, Broncos, Titans and Raiders.

Baseball: Yankees, Braves and Giants

College Football: Notre Dame

Baseball: Yankees

No one else comes close…

Agree with 2bit elroy but would add for Pro football, everyone
EXCEPT the Cowboys. I would like to see Jerry retire to a non-speaking monastery however.

NHL Montreal

International Hockey Sweden

CFL Hamilton

Canadian College Western,

NCAA Football, any team currently ranked in top 4 of BCS to screw up the system

Baseball Yankees

NFL teams who switch cities, Colts, Rams, Cardinals

NBA any team Vince Carter plays for

English Premier League – Manchester United

International Football – Argentina,

Tennis anyone who's last name ends in 'A', 'O' or 'Ic"

The Cowboys stand alone atop my pantheon of hate but any team from New York qualifies as second although the Yankees and Giants are probably a bit more evil than the others from that cursed corner of Calcutta on the Hudson.

In college I really don't hate anyone but Duke although I dislike USC and Miami.

I don't dislike Ohio State but I'm tired of them pretending to be a real football team and getting slaughtered whenever they play teams from real conferences. Now one more New Years Day game will be over by halftime.

MLB: White Sox, Yankees

NFL: Cowpats/Satan's Own

NHL: Canucks

Might seem weird, seeing as I live near Philly, but I absolutely love seeing the Phillies and Eagles fall on their faces. The sports radio chatter after big losses is highly entertaining. For hockey, the Penguins or Devils since they are two of the biggest rivals for the Flyers.

Don't watch basketball at all so no teams there, same with all college level sports.

MLB: Yankees (Whitesox are a close second)
AAA, AA, High A, Low A, Winter League, Rookie League, Little League (even if my kids on the team): Yankees
NFL: Yankees
NBA: Yankees
WNBA: Yankees
NCAA anything: Yankees
NHL: Red Wings (The Yankees of hoceky)
PGA: Yankees
LPGA: Yankees
WPA: Yankees
NASCAR: Yankees
IRL: Yankees
ICL/IPL: Yankees
MLS: Yankees
WWE: Yankees
WPBF: Yankees
MME: Yankees
AKC/Eukanuba Dog Show: Yankees
The Olymics Winter/Summer any event: Yankees
Tour de France: Yankees
CPSL (Curling): Yankees

Yankees
Oh yeah, COWBOYS SUCK!

Since I only follow football…

Not only do I hope they lose, I hope their plane goes down: Notre Dame, Florida and Miami.

I hope they lose, badly: USC, Ohio State, Vikings, Bears, Lions (okay i know that's piling on), Cowboys.
