Message: [QUOTE="DoctorBombay, post: 436988, member: 626"] ND, like the Dallas Cowboys, NY Yankees, LA Lakers, and Montreal Canadiens, STILL gets hype even when they absolutely suck. These franchises have a history that transcends any of their current records. That's the way it is, was, and always will be. As a Mets/Giants fan, I accept this, and it feels doubly satisfying when these teams lose to anyone, especially to one of my teams. ND has been mediocre for years, as has Dallas and Montreal. Yet, they still get exclusive TV deals, modern state of the art stadiums built for them, and constant mention from the media. Also, when the franchises FINALLY get a team that actually wins something and lives up to the hype, it can become unbearable. Consequently, all opposing fans continue to cheer against them & keep hoping they don't make a come back. [/QUOTE]
