USC Trojans was high on the list, but perhaps It was really just Pete Caroll I couldn't stand. Naturally Michigan but they have sucked so bad the last five years or so, hard for me to get overly pissed off about them! Still enjoy the Buckeyes kicking there ass every year. Pro teams, probably L.A.Lakers, New York & Boston sports teams. Being fueled by envy and there unfair advantage of buying championships...I'm honest enough to admit!!

What did spending have to do with Byner's fumble, Elway's drive, the Indians gagging the 97 WS, Jordan's jumper against the Cadavers.

I can add more to that list!! Everyone knows L.A., New York and Boston larger markets bloated cash cows have the funds to get and keep talent. So those many sports flops you listed with Cleveland wouldn't happen to them.

Boo Hoo. What are these small market owners doing with the luxury tax money they receive. How about putting it into your teams instead of your pocket.

Just like there's a max that you can spend in baseball there should be a minimum that a team can sped on it's team. Rather than pocketing the money, those teams in many instances end up making more of a profit than teams in those larger markets and the luxury tax.

Even President Barack Obama took jabs at the Yankees this week, cementing the fact that everybody -- except, of course, Yankee fans -- hates the World Champions. But are they actually the most loathed team in baseball?

 

Contrary to popular belief, the Yankees are only the fifth-most despised team in the majors, according to an Internet algorithm built by Nielsen Co. that analyzes how people feel about certain things. This service typically uses various keywords to find out whether people have positive, negative or neutral reactions to different brands and products.

 

No team registered a negative mark on Nielsen's "sentiment scale," which ranges from -5 to 5, but the Yankees (1.8) were one of only six teams to score lower than 2. The Mets finished four spots higher, making them the ninth most-hated team.

 

"Even Yankee fans don't hate the Mets these days," says Benjamin Kabak, a writer for the River Avenue Blues Yankees blog. "We just feel bad for them."

 

The San Francisco Giants (4.5) and Oakland Athletics (4.2) were the most-liked teams on this scale, suggesting that laid-back Northern California fans are the most accepting. But the Cleveland Indians' MLB-worst 0.9 was a bit of a surprise. They simply haven't done a lot over the past 13 years to warrant that much attention.

 

"I can believe that though," says Ed Carroll, who runs the Deep Left Field Indians blog. "The team does a lot to alienate its fans."

 

The unheralded Cincinnati Reds (1.5) and Houston Astros (1.8) were also in the basement.

 

The good news for the Yankees is that their low score is better than the only team that really matters: The rival Boston Red Sox, who are the second most-despised team.

I don't if this is so true or not but I'd say it's still the Yankees.

Read this and some of the comments, The rich STILL buy Championships:(2009_ article) http://www.taxgirl.com/world-series-champs...fty-luxury-tax/ Sure Like the article states lavish spending not always brings a championship two excellent examples were the Mets and Tigers. BUT teams like the Yankees can afford failure once in awhile and continue to spend millions. Most Major league franchises can not operate this way... And like the article reports luxury tax doesn't help smaller market teams.

Here is another example of why I hate Cub fans. Yesterday, three men wearing Vancouver Canucks jerseys had to be escorted out of Wrigley field after having beer dumped on them and being pelted with peanuts. I'm telling you, Cub fans are a classless brood!

 

I guess I'm not the only one who finds Cub fans obnoxious.

Okay, while that's totally classless and lame, I have to ask: What kind of moron wears a Canucks jersey to a baseball game?

 

 

As for Canucks fans being on that list, the author has clearly never taken the Skytrain on the evening of a home game. If he had, they'd be at #2, not #5

That's the kind of stuff that happens when you haven't won a World Series in a few years classless indeed.

The whole loveable losers thing is a joke. They are just losers.

NFL: PACKERS (I'm a Vikings fan) What a surprise... 2010 will be the 3rd year out of 4 that the Packers have a bye week the week before playing Minnesota. Back in 2002 an NFL memo leaked apologizing to the Vikings for the 8 "accidental" bad calls in the 4th quarter alone of the Pack's comeback "win" at Lambeau... including calling pass interference on a Viking not even involved in the play on what would have been a game-clinching Favre INT.

 

College Football: Notre Dame and Nebraska. Wish these two would play and get hit by a rogue asteroid. ND is still treated like they matter even though they haven't won a thing lately... the freaking Minnesota Gophers have more bowl wins in the last 15 years than ND. The "Touchdown Jesus" nonsense just makes it worse.

 

College B-Ball: Kentucky: their fans were already an annoying combination of arrogant, spoiled, and redneck... then add sleazeball Calipari and I just can't stand it.

 

MLB: White Sox. Bunch of whiny bitches. But enough about their fans, the players are annoying too

 

Cubs. Never has a fan base in any sport wallowed in being a loser like these clowns. And then on the flip side, if the Cubs do get off to a non-crappy start, every sports channel starts bombarding me with "is this the year" crapola by Mother's Day

 

NBAWWE: Boston Celtics: All you need to know about these a-holes is Robert Parish giving Bill Laimbeer a double-ax-handle from behind in Boston Garden... and no foul called. Amazing how all the calls Kevin Garnett couldn't get as a Timberwolf suddenly went his way as soon as he played for the "right" team.

 

Cleveland LeBrons. David Stern has completely sold the NBA's soul to rig a title for LeBron James. If you thought the officiating vs. Orlando was ridiculous last year, just wait until the conference finals this year.

 

The NBAWWE might as well publish their results before the games are played for all the suspense there is.

 

Oh, one more item for college B-ball:

 

What has 48,000 legs and 24,000 teeth?

What a relief, after the first half yesterday against the Celtics had my doubts. Thank You David Stern for giving us a free pass to the ECF.

btw What the hell happened last year??? Pay off all the refs this time,when we face Atlanta in Conference finals!!!

Wouldn't it be in David Stern's best interests for the Cavs to lose the title this year? Doesn't he ultimately want LeBron to go to New York?
