Default OT: !#%*/ Spurs!

The local NBA team, the San Antonio Spurs, plays so well during the regular season that they almost always get into the playoffs by a wide margin. But if they lose just once in the playoffs, they almost always choke! Da**it! F*ckin Spurs!

Rant over, but do you have any local sports teams that have this sort of behavior?

Well as both a Cubs fan and a Buffalo Bills fan I have double the level of frustration you have - sometimes I wonder if I will ever see them win it all in my lifetime

Hey, Olefin, I'm a Cubs fan too! So, yeah, the Spurs have nothing on us.

I'm also an Arsenal FC fan so I know the feeling of being perennial also-rans, at least during these last 12 very frustrating title-less years.

As a Denver Broncos fan, I suffered through 3 badly lost Superbowls (I was too young for the loss to Dallas) before finally winning a championship. Since then, we've won two more, so I can't complain on the American football front.

Hang in there, Paul. It ain't over 'til it's over.

And Olefin, this is the year!

as long as Steve Bartman doesn't interfere with the play again

got to wonder what will happen this year - they do seem to come up with a new way to mess up each year - maybe they have finally run out of ways

Wow without a qb Denver will be lucky to go 8-8. And with Sanchez you will go 7-9. Better hope your D can score.

As did I, especially after Leicester City won the Premier League.

I grew up in Western/Upstate NY; hence, like Olefin, I am a Buffalo Bills fan. As such I have become accustom to pain and heartbreak. I'm just happy that they haven't had a losing season for the past two years.

Baby steps man... baby steps.

The Dockers lost again yesterday. Minor premiership winners last season to losing every game they've played this season. Abysmal. Sad wife is sad. Ah well, at least my team are in the top half of the ladder.

Maybe they just need better dice rolls? Send them some new ten siders and a 20.
