Double Down said a bunch of positive things about a Baltimore team and/or athlete?

Smush Parker is still trolling for attention, I see.

The 1986 Giants.
The coach is an all-time dick who has spawned at least two other control freak coaches (Belichick and Saban) who suck the joy out of life.
Their best player was a cocaine addict.
The quarterback was a nancy boy who got away with intentional grounding at least once every game.
The running back was an annoyingly tough midget, the tight end was an unfrozen Cro-Magnon, and even the white wide receiver with the goofy name was pretty unlikable. Their second-best defensive player whined for years about his inability to ride the cocaine addict's coattails into the Hall of Fame.
The uniforms were atrociously plain and ugly. The stadium was a dump. Their style of play was like watching a 1950s Big Ten team, if the 1950s Big Ten team was trying to constantly run out the clock. Even their best attribute, the dominating defense, wasn't terribly exciting.
On top of all that, that championship created a generation of annoying, overly arrogant New Yorkers.
Fuck the 1986 Giants. Boring football and despicable on every single level.

One more reason: They gave birth to the coach's Gatorade shower. I may be in the minority, but I hate that coach-dousing shit now. It's totally overdone.

Also, I'm thinking the 2003 and/or 2004 Patriots are in the discussion. I don't count the 2001 Pats because they were the underdogs in the Super Bowl and I don't think a lot of people had worked up much hate on the franchise yet (except for Raider fans who were understandably pissed about the Tuck Rule game).

Besides the 1985 Bears, who are the supremest dickheads of all, dickhead Super Bowl champs in my time are the '80 Raiders, '82 Redskins, '92-'93-'95 Cowboys, '97-'98 Broncos, '00 Ravens and '03-'04 Patriots.

I didn't want the Ravens to win tonight. But even though Ray Lewis is a HOF dickhead, the team itself doesn't fall into dickheadedness. I'm probably mellowing with age, but its been a while since there was a true hateable champion.

1. The Steelers

Liked the first Patriot championship team, hated the others.
Hate all Cowboys champion teams except for the XII version, because the beat the even more hated Broncos.
Oddly didn't hate the two Broncos champions, cause I liked Terrell Davis and even I thought Denver had suffered enough.

1976 Raiders. Everyone knows the Steelers were the best team that year...

Fucking gatorade shower. They actually did two in the Super Bowl. Harry Carson started it (during the season), but it was Jim Burt's idea.

The fucking 2000 Ravens and 1995 Cowboys set the standard for asshole champions.

Something about the 1985 Bears I liked. Sure they were cocky assholes that called their shot in a music video...but then they went out and backed that shit up with a smile. Plus Walter Payton was on that team and he was good enough to offset every asshole there.

Fuck the Redskins too. It was nice to see the Raiders tear their overexposed asses up in 1983-84.

Somebody's gonna have to die -- electrocution? -- before that stupid tradition is finally stopped. I'd much prefer the players just blindside the coach with a tackle. There'd be entertainment value in that.

1. 1972 Dolphins - Have another champagne toast when the last team loses next season and then please drive yourselves off a cliff... All that team does is whine about how not enough of them are in Canton and they don't get the respect they deserve...

2. 2000 Ravens - Unless you're from Baltimore, that's a team that was almost impossible to like... Even Shannon Sharpe (one of the greatest quotes of all-time) seemed to become a douche when he got there...

3. 1995 Cowboys - Switzer, Deion, Irvin... Enough said...

I've got plenty of sour grapes for this year's Ravens because they beat the Niners. But I think it was the Ray Lewis look-at-me tour. I don't hate this year's Ravens because it was cool Flacco got one but I didnt want to see Ray Lewis get it.
