The NFL's adjectives

[Yosarian]

I'm too upset to comment on the Browns game.

But i thought the adjectives used to describe our team last during the big two win season by the NFL dot com were harsh. Anyone remember them?
1.) Hapless
2.) Lowly

followed by 'Texans'
--------------------
I found it odd that the 49er's (until this weeks game..lol)were referred to as
1.) Woeful

---------------------------------
But the Dolphins are only called
1.) Winless

--------------------------------
There must be some hidden respect for the phins in the nfl dot com writers.

Hope i got a tiny smile out of someone. That was all i wrote this for anyway. Try to cheer up a fellow fan!
----------------------------
ps. they aren't calling us those words this year!!!!!

A lot of teams are getting the 'hapless' label this year (Raiders, Dolphins, Rams, 49ers ... even the Broncos) - thankfully not us.

Even the Titans made the cut in early 2006. These are at the top of the hit list when you Google "NFL hapless:"

Great finds!

But no mention of Miami being hapless or lowly. lol They are ..? right?

Winless just doesn't do anything for me. Maybe i'll write a letter suggesting a new and improved adjective for use on the Dolphins this year?

Lemme think......woebegone or maybe...forlorn..hmmmmm..i got it..pitiable.

Yeah, thats it. :eek::cool:

EDIT: oh i missed it. There is a hapless miami in there. lol
