^I still don't get why they always choke, even when they're the best like last year. You want to go and go kill some people.

Let's go Whalers!
Let's go Whalers!
Let's go Whalers!

Oh wait, they moved to Carolina and then won the cup. Just like Quebec moving to Colorado and winning (at least they have natural ice in Colorado).

Which brings me to my point... having your team move out of town is worse than having your team get blown out and humiliated. You can't even say "there's always next year."

Hard to believe the Whale left town 10 years ago...

My father-in-law lives in Cleveland and has always been a Browns fan. Imagine how pissed he still is that they moved to Baltimore and promptly won a Superbowl, and even though they restarted a Browns franchise again, they have sucked every year. He gets visibly pissed when someone even mentions the Ravens. Sadly for him, they might win it all again this year.

For a Cowboys fan though, I can understand how painful that was to watch.


Ah well, the next opponent would have been Chicago anyway, and the Bears would have abused the Cowboys like an alcoholic stepfather.
OK, I think I got it, but just in case, can you say the whole thing over again? I wasn't really listening.

The Cubs have not been to the World Series since 1945, and they finished in the bottom half, of the National League for 20 consecutive years beginning in 1947.

I seem to always cheer for loser teams.;)

We won in '89. And we won Game 6 against Tampa thus we actually won in 2004. But the refs disagreed. We was robbed!;)

With what I remember being the best comeback by a team in 20 years.

The Red Mile was fun that year but man, after Game 6, it was like a family member had died. It was deathly quiet. Kinda spooky.

The thing to remember with sports, and your teams, is that sh*t happens ! You just have to trust that the over paid, primma donnas you support actually care as much as you do and bounce back the next game.

That was plain horrific, the title was in Schumacher's grasp if he had won that race. But it turned from distinct strong possibility to almost certain improbability.

Sometimes when your team lets you down, the team they lost to goes and beats the undefeated pats in the superbowl, which makes it all ok again.

The result of that superbowl makes me think that the Packers versus Patriots really would've been a shootout...

I've been thinking about that. It would have been an interesting game. I think you're right. It would have been a much higher score, I think. I'd call the Packers the underdog in that game, by 7 to 10 points, with a combined score of somewhere over 60.
