What sports team has the biggest disconnect with their perceived level of success to their actual?

[BigE214]

Eli has 2 superbowls
2 superbowl mvps
You tell me how this man would be treated in dallas.

Eli would have never made it to those superbowls in Dallas because he wouldn't have had a defense to carry him to them.

but that has nothing to do with this discussion. If the cowboys fanbase WAS the giants fanbase eli would be god tier to the fans, when the giants fans damn near want him CUT.

NY Knicks

• 2 NBA titles ever
  • None since 1973
• 8 conference titles since 1946
• major troughs of mediocrity and failure between those conference titles
• Holds on to this imaginary basketball 'mecca' title

Atlanta Hawks

• 0 nba titles
• 0 conference titles
• 0 conference championship appearances
• greatest player was traded for the ghost of danny manning
• gives itself imaginary nicknames on a regular basis
• I could continue but you've seen the thread

The Entire SEC outside of Alabama, Auburn, LSU, TN, Georgia, and FL

• The rest of the conference has a combined 5 national titles
• the rest of the conference has a combined 9 conference titles
• This is since 1933 ^

Philadelphia Eagles

• Zero superbowl wins
• 2 NFC titles
• Didn't win the NFC EAST ONCE during the entire 90s

Chicago White Sox

• 6 pennants and 3 WS since 1901
• 5 division titles...ever...hasn't won the central in 6 years
• greatest player ever frank thomas never won nothin

Oregon Ducks Football

• Zero national titles [that shiny new cupboard lookin REAL bare]
• Zero heisman winners
• Losing bowl record
• Didn't win the PAC 8/10/12 for a 40 year period after 1957
• 6 all americans...ever

Toronto Maple Leafs

• you haven't won a cup since 67
• You've never won a conference title because you haven't been good since the conferences existed
• I don't think I need to continue

Canada in the Summer Olympics

• you have been ABYSMAL at the olympics in the past 30 years [and i'm only choosing that era because its worse as I go further back]
• For point of reference in Beijing they had 332 athletes. They won 19 medals. France had 343 and won 41. For a country of your size how can you field less and win signifigantly less than the french? The FRENCH?

The historic Big East basketball

• Georgetown - 1 national title
• Syracuse - 1 national title [and they dipped]
• Villanova - 1 national title
• St. Johns - zero national titles
• UCONN - you get my respect, but you too dipped
• a lot of talk and little delivery, notorious early tournament exits, and you let the AAC and ACC run a train on your history

The San Diego Chargers

• never won a superbowl
• went to the superbowl once and got MOLLYWHOPPED in a game so bad it almost ruined the superbowl as an event
• Reguarly owned by the rest of the AFC west

reading this list you find out A LOT of bullshyt is media hype

it's gotta be a tie between the knicks and oregon

the knicks i can see being hyped cause they at least make the playoffs.. they've had big stars.. they are a HUGE fanbase.. in one of the media and tourist capitals of the world... and it's new york fukking city... plus SAS crying about the knicks so much, i know they haven't won in forever


but oregon... my god... i've heard nothing but speed speed speed... option option option... look at their stadium... look at their fan base... look at their 634968856837 jerseys... look at their rank... oh we promise they gonna win the national title this year... i refuse to even play with them on my ncaa cause i like taking nothings to something.. not even knowing.........................................

You're wrong bruh. Trent Dilfer types will never get love from our fan bases. They have every right to want him cut.

edit: Barry Switzer 12-4 (NFC Champinship) 12-4 (Superbowl) 10-6 & 6-10. Cowboys fans wanted him gone. You got get praised for doing what you're expected to do.

It's because Phil Knight is an alum, and they have Nike money. He donated their weight room and new locker room

Then why do you all praise tony romo and dez bryant who DEFINITELY have NOT done what they were expected to do....?

 

[rantanamo]

The America's Team title should be on the list. It was just the title of an NFL documentary, and every damn fanbase in the NFC is butthurt about their team not being called America's Team. Its 2014 and yall still crying about something Steve Sabol said in the 70s?

 

[BigE214]

Cause we're not winning any time soon and it's our only excitement on Sundays

Let's not act like if Romo were to win a Superbowl people wouldn't be saying, "bout time"

they was being hyped every year way beore this.. shyt it's a 5 star football team... and have won the same amount of titles as temple

yet every year, somebody has them on the "they are gonna do it this year"

the perception they put out, you'd think they would have won something

to find out today they never won a title is crazy... not even heisman is 6 all americans EVER is

 

[Piff Huxtable]

Knicks

What kills me most is every time a Knick fan talks about "we need a New York guy". Like that is supposed to mean something.
What is a New York guy? A perennial loser? A chronic underachiever? Someone with a false sense of entitlement?

The last respectable sports leader New York produced was this guy

I know, and it's because Nike is behind their push and how they got better. Nike has the media making them more known. They didn't become a football school until fairly recently.

[Da King]

They have an odd sense that they're up there with the lakers and celtics....or the spurs and rockets...or the pistons and sixers...they're just...not. The Sonics / thunder have about as much success as the Knicks...

The knicks aren't TRASH but the self overinflation rate is very high for them.

Rockets and Spurs in same sentence?

The bulls technically can be with the Spurs, but the Bulls have 10 years of relevancy, before and after 90s have been largely irrelevant. Spurs have history for decades, Gervin to Robinson to Duncan to dare I say... Leonard :2wow:. Been an elite team for 20 straight years now

No disagreement here.

Lakers and celtics
Spurs and bulls
sixers and pistons


Rockets and knicks

Basically everyone else
