Insulting phrases about sports teams

J - e - s - t, jest! Jest! Jest!

Q: How do you spell the NFL team name in Buffalo?

A: BILLLLS

“DUCK THE FODGERS!”

(Does that count?)

GO GIANTS!!

Ha! These are great. Anybody got anything for the Browns? I gotta share these with my old man, who is a Browns fan.

We usually just say “Dodgers Suck!”

It’s not terribly inventive, but it gets the point across in a family friendly sort of way :slight_smile:

Yes, mine wasn’t family friendly, while yours is the Universal Giants Greeting. :smiley:

LA Lambs

Why do the Cincinnati Bengals* use a no huddle offense? Because it’s a parole violation to associate with known felons.

  • or Dallas Cowboys, Baltimore Ravens, Oakland Raiders, etc…
    .

The Dallas Cowpatties

(but I love their cheerleaders)

The Washington Redskins were the last NFL team to sign any black players. Back in the early Sixties, veteran Washington DC columnist Shirley Povich got off two classic lines as a result:

  1. “The Redskins’ colors are burgundy, gold and Caucasian.”
  2. “Jim Brown, born ineligible to play for the Redskins, integrated their end zone three times yesterday.”

Two things: The quote about “Nice guys finish last.” Is a misquote. It was two separate sentences, which sportswriters ran together.

Secondly, my contribution: “Spahn and Sain, and pray for rain.” (refering to the Braves’ pitching staff in the '50s)

Good one!

When they’re playing poorly, they’re referred to as the Clowns.

Also, there’s the joke: Why did the (person of a certain ethnic background) paint his toilet orange?

He wanted to see the Browns play in the Orange Bowl. (reference to the Dolphins’ old stadium, not the college football classic)

Will the mother who lost her 8 children please report to the dugout? They’re beating the Cubs (or the Indians, etc.) in the 6th inning.

Going to the bathroom = “taking the Browns to the Super Bowl”.

Or, as Drew Carey put it, “I gotta go take a Modell.”

Back when USC couldn’t buy a win from Notre Dame, the joke was:

A Notre Dame fan invites his friend over to watch the USC game on TV with him. After the game in which the Irish win again, his tired old dog in the corner stands up, barks quietly, and then does a full backflip. Absolutely amazed, the friend states, “Wow! What happens when the Trojans wins?” “I don’t know - he’s only 12 years old.”

Not so relevant these days…

Teams with notable number of player arrests (Dallas Cowboys and Cincinnati Bengals among others): “They’re changing their uniforms - to orange jumpsuits.”

A couple which can be seen on buttons and can huggies in Tuscaloosa, AL:
Aubs eat boogers.
Auburn ain’t shit.

  • Washington Crapitals
  • Cincinnati Bungles (I think Myron Cope came up with that one)
    Most of the others I know of are against individual players.

The St. Louis Cardinals (aka “Redbirds”) during their less successful seasons are known as “Deadbirds.”

Similarly when the NFL Cardinals (“Big Red”) played in St. Louis, their* nom de failure *was “Big Dead.”

Going back to the 1950’s, the St. Louis Browns were “First in booze, first in shoes and last in the American League.”
