Wow, Seb, I never realized just how bad the NL has been lately until you put it like that... Thanks for the post.

But comparing the Braves to the Bills doesn't work because the Braves did indeed win one. Only one in all those years, yeah, but the Bills didn't get that much. And you know the next time they make it, that's all anyone will talk about.

And I think what people hate more than anything about the constant winners is not so much that they win all the time, but that you have to hear about them all the time. Notre Dame is one of the teams you mentioned, but when was the last time they were a real contender? 1993? Am I missing a year? I'm a Braves/Falcons/Hawks fan in the South Florida market, so I hate the Marlins/Dolphins/Heat, even though the Dolphins haven't done much during my lifetime that I remember. Those teams are all I hear about, with an occasional mention of the good teams. It drives me crazy. If I moved to a different market, it may wind up the same way. But maybe now at my wizened old age I could convince myself to go with the flow and make the local teams my secondary teams. As for now, I can't get past the hate with the Miami teams.
