At Least We're Not # 1

I just read a funny article on sports teams and the most miserable sports cities in America. Like it says everyone has something to complain about. Unless you cheer for the Patriots or the Yankees; in which case you don't have a soul so you don't count anyway. The writer says Seattle sits at the top as the most miserable. I agree with that only because they just lost their basketball ball team to a miserable place like Oklahoma City (If you don't watch basketball at all refer to the "Thunder"). I would admit that really sucks. But what real hope did that town really ever have anyway. Its Seattle for peet's sake; who cares about Seattle except people who live there. I couldn't imagine being an athlete and hoping a Seattle team picks me up. Which is why I think Buffalo ranks at 3. What the hell are you going to do in Buffalo? I bet that place ranks among the top 10 worst places to live in the country right along with places like Detroit and Flint and Fargo. Those two cities are of no surprise to me when it comes to poor rankings.

What is disappointing to me is that Houston is ranked # 5. What the hell folks!! Whats our freakin problem that we can't have a consistently decent team for once. The mid 90's Rockets were awesome. They've turned into choke kings though. Playoff after playoff with nothing to show for it. The Astro's made it to the World Series one time in the history of the team and got their butts handed to them. The Oilers never won a Superbowl and have two championship wins in the 60's before the Superbowl existed. That's over 40 years without a champion football team. And we currently cheer for the Texans. We all know how that's going so I won't get into any details. We can't boast any college sports because seriously who cares about the Cougars. Our only claim to fame in recent years has been WNBA and MLS. Like the article says who cares about those sports. Its like the city has settled for mundane mediocre teams that don't really excite us or push the envelope and win. Maybe it's the humid weather; we're all just to lethargic to care about sports anymore.
