This posting concerns my favorite sports teams; The Toronto Maple Leafs, The Pistons and The Lions. Three different teams in three different sports in 2 countries and you know what they all have in common? You probably guessed right, they are all horrible. I don't know why I love and follow these teams.
Every time they give me hope and win a couple they'll come out and bomb. For example, look at the Leafs, they started the season 5-0 and Leaf-Nation went crazy and we started to plan the Stanley Cup parade but then they go on to go winless in their next 8. And last night I'm watching the highlights and the Leafs are finally on ESPN but guess what, it's because Sid the Kid smoked them and the Penguins win 4-0.
Then look at the Lions, you know what forget them, they'll just depress you if you think about them for too long. And I know the Piston's are rebuilding but come on blow this team apart, trade Rip and Tay, I know they are the dace of the team but they are at least worth something right now and they could help to rebuild the team for the future. Another thing about the Pistons is that they'll look good for a couple quarters but they never play well in the fourth no matter who they are playing.
Don't worry you lovable losers, I'm not sure if it's because I'm loyal or too hard-headed to switch but I'll always love you 3.
Good blog Mark! I am also a Pistons and Lions fan and just like you said they are just horrible right now but as you said I still watch no matter how bad it gets. As for Toronto I am a Red Wings fan and they are playing very well but I am hoping they move the Wings to the eastern conference so that the Maple Leafs and Wings can bring back an old Original Six rivalry.
