NY Yankees are "The Stankees"

The New Orleans Saints when they have a bad season are the "Aints."

40whiners, but that doesn't really work now that Harbaugh is out of there.

From the "in b4 lock"  file:

When they were still playing in the Silverdome, the Detroit Lions were referred to as the Pontiac Tampons, because they were only good for one period, and they didn't have a second string.

Don’t ask me how I know.  Just understand that I do.

Heh...calling the Lions that got me and my Dad in trouble plenty of times with my Mom back in the 1980s/90s.  I'll never understand how the Lions manage to consistently be the most popular team in the City (granted they are best professional team these days) when the Pistons, Tigers and Red Wings all won at least one championship since 1984. 

Speaking of the Red Wings I'm surprised that "Dead Wings"  hasn't become popular again since the team has sucked the last couple years.

Last, and certainly least, there's the Big Ten school that not only do I refuse to mention by their real name, but wouldn't root for if they were playing the Taliban:  THE Columbus Suckeyes.  :bigass:

I've probably heard every last one of being from the Detroit area.  The fans that usually got it the worst were the ban wagon Packers fans that followed the other Detroit teams.

I've heard people in New York use an extremely offensive racist nickname for the NBA team that plays at Madison Square Garden. I won't repeat it.
"You know, you never have a guaranteed spot until you have a spot guaranteed."

commenting on the Capitals clinching a playoff spot.

"That sounded stupid, didn't it?"

I used to call the Dallas Cowboys, the Dallas Brokebacks to annoy the locals when I lived in Texas, although I was secretly a Cowboy fan, I did it because the local DFW area fans are kind of pathetic.  I had one neighbor that would come out of his apartment and scream his fool head off if the Boys won OR lost. 

I've called the Lions the Pussies/Pussycats and the Tennessee Vols the "Volunqueers", even though I am/was secretly a fan because the Vols fans in Knoxville are much like the Cowboy fans in DFW.  I have also referred to the Packers as the Fudgepackers and the Vikings as the "Viqueens."  I have also referred to the Buckeyes as the "Suck/Fuck"eyes.

I think that is about all I can think of.  Every other team I am pretty neutral towards.

Patético and "Pathetic" for Atlético de Madrid and Athletic Bilbao respectively. And in general Patético (lit. "Pathetic") for any team that has Atlético in its name.

I've heard Real Mandril ("Real Mandrill") for Real Madrid and Farsa ("Hoax") for Barça too.
Supporter of the construction of several running gags, including I-366 with a speed limit of 85 mph (137 km/h) and the Hypotenuse.

Please note that I may mention "invalid" FM channels, i.e. ending in an even number or down to 87.5. These are valid in Europe.

What about Fake Madrid?
Clinched, minus I-93 (I'm missing a few miles and my file is incorrect)

Traveled, plus US 13, 44, and 50, and several state routes

I will be in Burlington VT for the eclipse.

Damn you fast, quoting a post while I was editing it, so now what is quoted doesn't match with what is written in the original.

It's obvious why I've never heard "Fake" Madrid, that is a first for me.

Not by me but coworkers who had a friendly rivalry  between them used the Golphins ( A Buffalo Bills fan to our Chef from Miami)  for the Dolphins and the Buffalo Jills to  Bob the Bills fan. :D

Winnipeg was Lose A Peg when their present (or former as I am not into the NHL) team the Jets, by my friend in Fort Myers. :sombrero:

The Deadskins was another directed to my former supervisor who was a die hard Washington Redskins fan. :bigass:

the Tennessee Vols the "Volunqueers"

Nothing sucks like a big orange. I have used the above term myself, but opted not to post it because, well, you know, certain types might accuse me of homophobia or bigotry or something. But since you blazed that trail.

Also, staying in that state, Vanderbilt Commode Doors.

There was a bumper sticker that made the rounds in these parts a few years ago that poked fun of Louisville, Duke (particularly Grayson Allen) and North Carolina. "Strippers, Trippers, and Class Skippers."

Also, "The Good (UK), The Bad (Louisville), and The Ugly (Tennessee.)"

Historically my family has been Cubs fans and called them the "Lovable Losers", though they have been stepping up the game more recently.
