Sean Elliott jinxed the Pistons and Robert Horry is my baby's daddy

[msufan420]

I'm watching ESPN News right now, and am being "force fed" highlights of Robert Horry's game winning 3 in overtime against my beloved Pistons. Why can't I seem to escape that horrible moment in Detroit basketball history? What a heartbreaker!

After witnessing what may have been the last hope for the Pistons to repeat as World Champions...I started thinking that it really ing sucks being a Michigan sports fan...and so you don't have to strain your brain...I'll tell you why.

If you sport the maize and blue, you have Chris Webber calling The Timeout, single handedly stealing UM's National Championship. Since that wasn't enough, he also stole all their wins and Big Ten Chammpionships. Damn Chris...what a way to leave your stamp on things! Don't forget the Colorado hail mary at the Big House.

Us State fans have...well we pretty much have every football season...but more importantly...The Bobby Williams era...Smoke Green! Blow White! Most recently we have a can of royal ass wooping handed out by fat ass Sean May and his other first round draft pick teammates.

We have the Red Wings getting swept out of the 1995 Finals.

We have the Larry Bird steal on the inbounds pass from Isiah.

How about them Lions....damn where do I start? Andre Ware...Rodney Peete...Scott Mitc ...Eric Kramer...Wayne Fonts...Bobby Ross....Marty "I'll take the wind!" Morningwig...Joey Harrington?...Barry Sanders running wild on the Cowboys only to have their asses handed to them by the Redskins in the 1991 NFC Championship game...oh. Did I say Barry Sanders? How 'bout Barry being Rickey Williams' role model while Rickey was still smoking gravity bongs with meatheads at a UT fraternity?

We have the Tigers...yeah...we have the Tigers.

So now I can add Robert Horry's 3 and crotch grab to my list...Thanks Horry...you have no idea how great that feels.

After recalling all my dissappointments, I realize that hey...at least I'm not a ing Cubs fan....NOW THAT MUST REALLY SUCK!

Peace, Love, and hopefully a good game...

Detroit has had lots of championship parades. It would suck to be from Cleveland.

That's funny....sad, but funny!

[DarrinS]

Horry has killed the Spurs in the past. I guess it's just your turn.

Lions have a good wide receiver if he can stay healthy.

[ShoogarBear]

Yeah, really. Detroit has three NBA les, a couple of Stanley Cups, and even a WS win in the past 25 years.

Cleveland, Philadelphia, and DC bleed for you.

[Supergirl]

It would suck even more to be from Indiana.

[LilMissSPURfect]

That's the life of a SPORTS fan...you can't live with em[sports] and you can't live without em........





where would we all be without SPORTS?

[LilMissSPURfect]

now what was that about " Robert Horry is my baby's daddy" ?

[baseline bum]

That's what you get for having Chris Webber in your building. He even inspired Rasheed.

I've been following the Lions a little bit over the years since it seems that a bunch of UT players wind up there (Roy, Shaun Rogers, Cory Redding, and rookie FA Will Matthews now, Bryant Westbrook, Shane Dronett, Van Malone earlier). Joey sucks.

ing about the Wings in 1995 doesn't make much sense considering they won Cups in '97, '98, and '02. And your Spartans won the NCAA's in 2000, right? Throw in last years NBA championship and I wouldn't think you've have a bad last ten years or so. Even your WNBA team won a le, and the guy who owns the Pistons won the Stanley Cup last year with the Lightning.

edit: "Smoke Green! Blow White!" I completely forgot Smoker went to rehab last year!

[msufan420]

I think some of you are missing the intent...I was more supposed to be making fun of myself than it was supposed to be a fest...or some ploy for your sympathy.

[ShoogarBear]

It was funny, no doubt. But people from those other cities have even more material to work with.

[msufan420]

and that's why I was making fun of myself.

[jalbre6]

So what is the current leader for biggest sports loser city?

[msufan420]

tough question....Seattle?

[ShoogarBear]

Off the top of my head:

#1: Cleveland
#2: Philadelphia
#3: Milwaukee
#4: Seattle
#5: San Diego
#6: DC/Atlanta (tie) : Braves post-season record is almost like losing

[ShoogarBear]

#7: Houston

[Xolotl]

I would put Phoenix in there too even though the Suns did good this year. I mean damn they have the Cardinals thats just sorry

[DarrinS]

Buffalo Bills

[ShoogarBear]

Yeah but the Dbacks have a recent WS win.

Buffalo is an excellent one. Bills and Sabres.

[jalbre6]

Cleveland: Even thought the Indians have made the World Series in the last ten years, losing the NFL team that Americans identify with your town and then getting a crappy expansion team to replace it absolutely sucks. Especially after seeing the Ravens bring home the hardware. The NBA Cavaliers were an afterthought until LeBron showed up. Just look at the list of retired jerseys: 7 - Bingo Smith; 22 - Larry Nance; 25 - Mark Price; 34 - Austin Carr; 42 - Nate Thurmond; 43 - Brad Daugherty. No NHL and no significant college teams.


That's my #1.

[msufan420]

Yeah...that nailed it...Buffalo has to be tops.

[Xolotl]

Yeah but the Dbacks have a recent WS win.

Buffalo is an excellent one. Bills and Sabres.

Yeah 98 I believe but then since they've had the worst record in baseball a few times

Coyotes suck in hockey too, but it's been a while since I've thought about that sport

[samikeyp]

The D-Backs won the series in 2001.

[nkdlunch]

And unfortunately your sorrows are not over yet dude
