I am considering sacrificing the kit. We'll see what happens in the next couple of weeks!

Don't sacrifice the kit. You already jinxed us by buying it, throwing it away won't make the jinx go away, it'll just leave you without an expensive shirt.😉

The Browns may suck now, but they spent years as one of the best AFC teams, second only to the broncos...who were second only to...well...any NFC team, I guess.

Jazz went to the playoffs for something like 20 years straight. They may suck now, but it could be worse, your team could be the Kings, like me. We were out of the playoffs for all those years that the Jazz were in, and then we had a short run of greatness, and now we're sinking back into the mire.

Indians won the world series about ten years ago, that's more than my Giants can say. They've been there and lost many many times.

Jets...well the Jets are losers. At least they once had Broadway Joe.

Flames were in the Stanley Cup finals last time they had one. I know it's been a very long time, but can you really call that losers? One of the two best teams in your sport? They lost in a seventh game no less.

Yes, but just as Texas A&M is often referred to as the Texas Aggies, Utah State was referred to that way. Hail the Utah Aggies is the first line of the fight song.

I seem to remember a 26 point walloping of some red clad team on the hardwood.

Nice! I was there, it was fun!

That was the red-clad team that made the Sweet 16, right?

Sorry (believe me!) to tell you this, but the last time the Indians won the world series was 1949 if I remember right. In 1995 they made it to the World Series and lost to the Braves and a 14-year old Czar cried himself to sleep. The Indians returned to the Fall Classic in 1997, and it seemed like a sure win against the Marlins. I still hate Edgar Renteria for his hit that gave Florida the title in game 7. So take it from an Indians fan, Cleveland did not win it about ten years ago.

Jets, yes you are right on them.

Yes the Flames finally made it to the finals. What happened? They lost to the frikkin Tampa Bay Lightning. Tampa Bay. Calgary lost the Stanley Cup to TAMPA BAY. No wonder the hockey world went to hell!

The Jazz also made it to the finals and lost twice during the late nineties.

In other words, all my teams either suck or make it all the way to the title and then lose.

USU has a great home advantage in the Spectrum. made life very difficult for the Utes the last few times they have played there.

I'm sure that helped you feel better when you lost in the NCAA first round. Again.

Well, if RSL made it all the way to the title and then lost. I'd be pretty satisfied with how the season had gone.

It's hard to swallow as a fan, but teams that are second place can't be called losers. Sadly, in America they call them that anyway. The Indians may not have won it all, but they're not the Expos.

Thank you. But I'd also like to point out that I never called the Indians losers. The only team I called losers (well I insinuated it) was Roma SINCE I became Romanista.

Will any more corrections be necessary?
