Schadenfreude: The last chance at football joy

October 22nd, 2009 by Rogersworthe | 7 Comments | Filed in T-Rac Circle of Hatred

scha⋅den⋅freu⋅de (pronounced /ˈʃɑːdənfrɔɪdə/, German pronunciation: is pleasure derived from the misfortunes of others.

The Titans are 0-6 and judging by their recent 59-0 loss, not getting any better. Our beloved Coach has pissed off half the fanbase by wearing a Peyton Manning jersey in public. Our QB of the future can’t beat out a 37 year old journeyman who was drafted BEFORE Eddie George had even won the Heisman Trophy. The Titans don’t only suck. They are the laughingstock of the NFL.

So, why continue to watch football? What is the point of trooping on? Well, outside of fan support, there is one thing that can still bring joy to the heart of angry Titans fans: Shadenfruede.

Nothing can bring joy quite like your opponent completely failing. Except maybe a Super Bowl. And a winning team. Okay, forget that. Plenty of things bring greater joy than a hated team completely failing. However, THIS season, the 2009 NFL season, for a Titans fan, nothing can bring joy quite like the failure of others. There are many already existing storylines of Shadenfreude along with many potential ones as well. I will cover them all. Why? Because I’m tired of reflecting on 59-0. Time to hate everybody else.

Current Joyful Failures

Storyline of Hateful Joy #1: The collapse of the almighty Jets and pretty boy Mark Sanchez: This one is an amazing story. At the beginning of the year pretty much everyone said, “The Jets will suck.” I predicted them at 3-13. Well, they came out looking amazing. A top defense and a powerful running game along with the pretty boy savior QB not making huge mistakes led the Jets to a 3-0 record. The Jets looked like they could be division champs. Then they went down to New Orleans and Sanchez played like dogshit. Nobody blinked. It happens. The Superdome is hard to play in, blah blah blah. Well then on Monday Night Football the Miami Dolphins Wildcatted (fuck yeah it’s a verb) the shit out of the VAUNTED JETS DEFENSE and won 31-27. Ah yes. Well it happens. Miami played a great game.

But then….

5 interceptions!!!!! AGAINST THE BILLS!! HAHAHA YOU’RE RUNNING GAME GAVE YOU 300 YARDS RUSHING AND YOU STILL LOST DIRTY SANCHEZ!!! HOW DOES IT FEEL!!! 5 Interceptions in 29 attempts. That is 1 interception every 6 pass attempts. OH I LOVE IT!! SUCK ON IT YOU OVERRATED PRETTY BOY!!! How’s that “alpha male” bullshit working out now, Dilfer? Oh man, I love it. Fail you over-privileged assmunch. FAIL.

So gay...

Opponent Bashing Saturday: The New Jork Jets

September 26th, 2009 by Spizz | 3 Comments | Filed in Opponent Bashing

I was a bit discouraged when I started writing this bash post. I mean, we are 0-2, yet to win a game. Seemingly, this would make it harder for me to mock other teams. But then I remembered something: opponent bashing isn’t about winning or losing. It’s not about how many points we score, how many turnovers we have, or how many touchdowns Nick Harper gives up. It’s just about hate. Pure, unfounded, irrational, and unjustifiable hate for the teams that the Titans play every single week. So sit back and soak in the hate my friends. Win or lose, it’s the one thing we’ll always have.

So, why do the New York Jets suck, you ask?

  • They play at Giants Stadium. How humiliating is that? Their “home” field is named after the better and more popular team that they have to share it with. The damn seats are Giants blue, and the walls are bright red. I think half the attendees of Jets games are just lost or confused Giants fans.
  • Yeah, Mark Sanchez is kind of good so far, but have you seen his face? Holey moley! It’s like a constellation made of birth marks. GQ even had to Photoshop them out, which is funny in and of itself.

    GQ can't cover up the truth.

    Where'd they go?!? GQ can't cover up the truth.

  • Their uniforms are really, really ugly. The grayest shade of sewer sludge green without even a second color to complement it. Carolina is probably the only team to even give them a run for their money in the ugly unis department.

Two special videos and lots more hatred after the jump. (more…)
