Sportscenter just showed DC professional sports are now like 68 straight series without making a Conference/League Finals. Not THE Championship round, the round preceding it. Yikes.

Posted this before, but:

For most of the 00s their teams were just not very good. Then in the '10s, they've been pretty consistently playoffs-caliber (and sometimes elite in regular season!) but unable to make the conference finals anyway. It's really been the full spectrum of lovely sports fandom

(although the Redskins have mostly just been bad)

Tell that motherfucker to not slide and fall off the base, or not to be careless enough to make that such a close play.
