Stads Posted December 28, 2019 Posted December 28, 2019 ESPN has come out with a new ranking list: How miserable is each NFL fan base? They break it down according to five factors and the kicker of a "misery bonus". Of course we're #1 1

Of course we're #1 Stads, you had me at “E-S-P-N”, the same guys who brought you this years’s likely coach of the year, Sean McDermott, as “the coach on the hottest seat in the nfl”...one year removed from the playoffs and doing a rebuild that they actually referenced in their press conferences. 4 1

US Egg Posted December 28, 2019 Posted December 28, 2019 Gosh darn it ! Now outsiders will make fun of this and the weather here. Time to dig up my "Buffalo's Talkin' Proud" memorabilia. I'll show them ! I'll show them all !!!
MJS Posted December 28, 2019 Posted December 28, 2019 We need a similar list for sports broadcasting companies. And where would ESPN rank on that list?
Locomark Posted December 28, 2019 Posted December 28, 2019 (edited) #1 coming into this year is fair, but at the end of the year it is certainly odd. Not many other markets that have consistently been this bad over the last decade and not won any championships for 50+ years. We have never won a championship outside of the AFL. That counts for a lot. No one cares about sports like indoor lacrosse, so no those wins don’t count any more than who wins the Bull Riding Championships. The Bills over-performed and should have bumped us down a few spots this year but I think many nationally might want to see them prove this wasn’t a one year fluke and that they won’t be 8-8 again next year. The Sabres could easily again be a bottom 5 lottery team. Our hockey team with Jack Eichel missing more than 7-10 games would be close to last IMO. I am not sure who the worse markets are, but as a Buffalo fan tried and true, I am usually miserable. Thanks to the Bills for giving me hope that the future will be better, because the Sabres are one of sports worst franchises and it’s hard to watch Jack be wasted every year.

jkeerie Posted December 28, 2019 Posted December 28, 2019 Note that 3 of the top 4 teams are in the AFC East. The Pats make everyone else miserable! 1
Talley56 Posted December 28, 2019 Posted December 28, 2019 The Browns were practically crowned as Super Bowl champs before the season started and ended up looking not much better than most Browns teams in recent memory. I think their misery is a tad bit higher right now. 1
US Egg Posted December 28, 2019 Posted December 28, 2019 The amount of obnoxious blather on ESPN, their radio shows and website, is at an all-time high. .....and will continue growing forevermore.

Yeah, the Bills should definitely be in the top 3 but given the Bills' recent success and the fact that the Browns haven't made the playoffs in 17 years (and only once since their team came back) I'd go with the Browns on this one. For the team with the most miserable fan base I feel pretty F'n happy right now and was ecstatic two seasons ago. 1

Gugny, I will pay you (not a lot) to come to the bathroom in my house and see me produce some meaningless crap.
