NFL: The Bore Four


Why Houston, Tennessee, Jacksonville and Carolina are the worst franchises in the league.

You NEVER look forward to their game against your team – there’s no rivalry, no players to get excited about, nothing.  You don’t figure it’s a win, you don’t figure it’s a loss… you’re just bored.
Two of them are “sleepers” every year because everyone knows there’s 6 new playoff teams every year, and no-one can remember who plays for them.
Every second season, they go 5-11… and you don’t even remember when they went out of contention.
They have rightly never been tipped to win a playoff game.
All four coaches have had charisma by-passes. And so have the quarterbacks.

The coaches have been there forever – and inexplicably, never been under pressure.
I think one of the owners might be dead.  But how would you know?

They should just have the common decency to totally implode when things are going bad, in the way the…
  • 49ers did – culminating in the HC mooning the players.
  • Raiders have – culminating in the HC punching another coach and the owner firing the former HC by overhead projector.
  • Redskins are – giving the playcalling job this week to a bingo-caller at a senior citizens centre in Detroit.
  • Detroit did – just keep drafting and releasing WR’s until you go 0-16.
  • Tampa are – sacking and releasing anyone who seems to know or be able to play football, perhaps to re-organise as florists.
  • San Diego did – with the beautiful attempt to make the Ryan Leaf thing work.
Now THAT’S fun.

Get a personality guys – a good one, a bad one, who cares, just get one.  Otherwise, piss off to the UFL.
