...I thought that you guys might find this list at least somewhat intriguing. ESPN ranked the most miserable fanbases in the NFL based on team criteria such as: # of championships won, recent playoff berths, recent playoff wins, and # of memorable heartbreak losses. What I found interesting is that they ranked Bears fans as being, according to the above mentioned criteria, more miserable and hard-luck than Jets fans. I was honestly surprised by that, and wondered if you guys would agree with that conclusion or not, lol. It probably comes as a surprise to no one that Cleveland Brownies fans came in 1st as the moster miserable NFL fanbase. Anyway, here is the link: http://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/24402996/ranking-most-miserable-fan-bases-nfl
Almost dead on. The only 2 fanbases the rank below the Jets are Browns and Bills. Not sure about Bears, they won more recently than Jets.
As long as we are not the worst. I do find myself rooting for fanbases who suffer like we do. The Browns, Bears, Lions. Cardinals and so on. I am pretty happy for the Browns they look like a team on the rise. But the Bears wow they look like our role model for 2019. Last year they got their FQB this year they spent money on talent to help him. Hopefully. The Bears are our future.
This list is pretty dumb, if you ask me. I live in Miami, I have my entire life. I know exactly what the Dolphins fan base is like down here. They are miserable. How you can rank them above the Jets, is beyond me. Last year they made the playoffs for the first time in 8 years. They haven't won a playoff game in 18 years. 18 years. I understand this franchise has been exhausting to be a fan of, but we at least had back to back AFC Championship games 9 years ago. They haven't won a playoff game in 18 damn years lol
This. Plus they live in Detroit. Wish I could post the clip from Kentucky Fried Movie: “Send him to Detroit”.
Lists. You should see my shopping lists. F apps, I'm ancient, and I still do it by hand on paper! I just don't like being tracked. Well, I'm proud to say that before and since all of this spying shit, nothing has changed. I still come home without what I went out for. No turkey for you on Thanksgiving, that's all I have to say about that.
By the by, I wouldn't say the New York Jets fan base is 'miserable' but that all depends on the shade of meaning. Basically we're a family of jaded sarcastic morons mixed in with a dose of self-hatred and a twist of fatal realism. Ohhhhh, and then you have the glass half full people who will never get used to getting kicked in the face. GO JETS is the very definition of an oxymoron. In fact, the Jets should have a cocktail named after them. I got it. The GO JETS a/k/a Arsenic and Old Lace. Triple Sec, seltzer, grenadine, gin, shaken, not stirred. The secret is in the the ice-cubes. If you know what I mean.
