"Da Bears" are another interesting choice.

Pros:
Legacy Team
You'll have a permanent sense of hope that it will be a good season because their entire roster, including the coaches, is changed every 3 years or so

Cons:
They will be wrecked by the Packers 19 times out of 20, even if the Packers have had a garbage season. Its like a law at this point.
You'll have a permanent sense of dread that it will be a bad season because their entire roster, including the coaches, is changed every 3 years or so

You honestly could do a lot worse.

The roster turnover is irrelevant because the script is always the same. The offense is a nightmare with a terrible O-Line and questionable QB decision making. The play calling will be 90% boring run plays for a 1 yard loss and 10% interceptions.

The team will rely on the defense generating turn overs and this will lead to a couple of really lucky wins every year. Sometimes through some miracle this will be enough to bring them into the playoffs, but you'll already know deep in your heart the Bears are frauds and perennial losers so the playoff exit won't hurt too bad.

Granted, watching football live does suck, it’s much better if you dvr the edited replays on NFL network that cut out a lot of the standing around and also skip the commercials.

You're looking at it backwards, by reducing your expected lifespan through repeated TBI you are significantly cutting down the amount needed to save for retirement.

If you consider the big picture you're actually coming about ahead

A football game lasts about 2 hours or so on TV I'd say with all of the breaks and timeouts. I hate watching baseball and haven't seen a game in forever but aren't they like 4 hours or something? I know they're digging deep to change the game because no young people like it anymore due to it being so loving boring.

They're actually about the same length. The average MLB game is 3 hours, 4 minutes. The average NFL game is 3 hours and 11 minutes. I'm not sure where you got 2 hours for a football game.

There's a pitch clock coming to MLB next year which should shorten those.

Ah ok. I thought the GB game went about 2 hours yesterday. I never really pay attention though since anything on my TV is just on in the background while I shitpost.

Just don’t pick a sadness factory.

Fortunes can change quickly in the NFL so picking based on success is a bit of a fools errand, but you at least want to feel some sense of relevance even when your team blows.

I picked 49ers because I like the colours and I’d actually like to go to San Fran. They’ve been a 3 win team in my short time but even then, at least they weren’t the loving Jaguars or Lions.

hi goons,

how do you choose a football team to live and die with? I dont want to reveal my geographic location, as I think choosing a team based on your immediate location seems kinda lame, unless thats how everyone does it and im just being a little weirdo about it. but that leaves me with the chargers which have kinda sucky colors!



teams I will not be considering:

- Dallas Cowboys, because a lot of obnoxious people i know like them.
- extreme losers, as being a socdem in the US is a constant kick in the dick as it is, and i dont want to be losing on multiple fronts of my life.

Choose the Dallas Cowboys and hate yourself like I do

Otoh, you could choose the Browns from a purely ironic perspective and cheer for their sucking. Pretty sure no other team has gone 4-44 across three seasons (including a 0-16 and 1-15 season) in the modern era.

Don't fall for it OP. This is how the Lions get you, they sucker you in with hopes that maybe they'll be good this year and BAM, they find a new way to suck harder.

I wonder what they'll do to top hiring Patricia the fatass rapist.
