The Worst 25 Teams In The Past 50 Years
It's because of the 1980 Saints that I'm a fan. (Skip if you've heard my story before.)
That Friday, the 3rd grade class bullies, who were all Jets fans (I grew up in Brooklyn), were talking about how their team wasn't very good, but they were super confident, the way bullies often are, that they would win Sunday against the 0-14 "Aints". My dad wasn't a big football fan (he'll root for the Giants, but really the Mets, Knicks and Rangers are all more important to him), so I had little allegiance, and on that bitter cold December Sunday when nobody was leaving the house, the Jets game was on TV and I rooted for the Saints to win, so the class bullies would be disappointed. When the Saints staged a 4th quarter comeback, my fate was sealed.
