Holy Fucking Shit--Legion of Doom Update

Well, we here at I Dislike Your Favorite Team were a bit taken aback by what we started. You know, we've been around for a few months, and while Deadspin (both Will and MJD) kind of dug some of the shit we did, we didn't really ever get a groundswell of interest from their repeated linkages to us.

Apparently, a Team of Super Villians in the Sports World is what it took to garner some interest. And now we are overwhelmed; we have the vapors. We're a bit a-tingle.

There have been so many great nominations. How could we have forgotten Rae Carruth, caught in the trunk of a car? Lawrence Phillips? For fucks sake! We begin to think we may have to break it down a bit, just like the Comic books would have. Maybe we need a Golden Era Legion, and a Silver Era Legion. Because it seems clear that Ty Cobb deserves his own special circle of hell.

In any case, we have lots of info to parse, and we thank you kindly people for that. Truly awesome work from you all.

Quick note on that: Blowing up a franchise isn't a reason to be in the Legion of Doom. Maybe I Dislike Your Favorite Team. Maybe Kobe blowing up the Lakers is a point in his favor, in my mind. And maybe I enjoyed the fact that Lindros was never worth the headache he gave the team that signed him. As a Cap fan, I can tell you that I loved that he did that. We're not looking for guys who hurt your team. We're looking for guys who hurt humanity. And we've got so many to go through now!

Thanks again, commenters. Awesome work.

While you wait, can we interest you in some of our greatest hits?

There was our Buddy Cop Index, where we rated NFL backfields on the strength of their ability to star in a Buddy Cop Movie.

There was that time we called Ronaldhino Tiger Wood's Ugly Lesbian Cousin

How about facts about the Round of 16 Countries from the World Cup? Learn something, jerks.
