Teams that are like teams in other sports

[narc]

I'll start. <br><p>
Toronto Maple Leafs = Boston Red Sox(before they won the world series)<br><p>
Both are wealthy, old, storied franchises. Both have extremely knowledgeable, passionate fans who will pay top dollar to see their team. Neither team had won the championship in a very long time and both sets of fans felt a sense of entitlement about winning, and whine about it incessantly, which is why the Leafs aren't the Cubs. Cubs fans are much less whiny about it for some reason. Both teams have been, arguably, ineptly managed for years. <br><p>
Montreal Canadiens = New York Yankees<br><p>
Both are really old with a strong sense of history. They've each won a similar amount of championships in their respective sports. The Canadiens, of course, don't outspend their rivals like the Yankees did. <br><p>
Ottawa Senators = Indianapolis Colts<br><p>
Both are offensive juggernauts who are awesome in the regular season, and then totally crap out in the playoffs. Each has yet to win a championship in their sport even though they've been good for years.

<p>Notre Dame football = New York Yankees</p><p>Storied past, sense of tradition, insatiable desire to win every year.</p>

<p>Baltimore Orioles = New York Knicks</p><p>Both are franchises that were great during the 70's and had some success in the 90's without ever winning a championship.&nbsp; Currently, they are both mired in long slumps due to arrogant, ineffective management and ownership, which combine poor/slow decision making processes with the willingness to throw away millions of dollars.</p>

<p>Islanders and Knicks</p><p>both in NY and both are currently embarassments.&nbsp; its hard to choose which front office is worse right now.</p>

<p></p><p>Islanders and Knicks</p><p>both in NY and both are currently embarassments.&nbsp; its hard to choose which front office is worse right now</p><p>I was about to argue this with the Isles making it to playoffs in 4 of last 5 years. But their owner is trying to hard to play a hockey team like an investment. Keeping an eye on it and hoping that it grows. He needs to back off and let the hockey people do their job. I would however say that Islanders are to the Tampa Bay Devil Rays. Have the talent, or the money,&nbsp;over the years but just poorly managed in the front office. </p>

<p>Mets and Jets&nbsp;&nbsp; born around same time.... mostly bad with a championship or two thrown in ...</p>

[Snoogans]

<p>atlanta hawks = KC Royals</p><p>one exciting period in the 80's with a couple star players, but nothing of note and only crap now&nbsp;</p>

[El Mudo]

I would compare the Royals to the Chicago Blackhawks, if only for the
fact their fans have the pleasure of paying for the two WORST owners in
the history of professional sports, David Glass and Bill Wirtz<br />

<p>Yankees Cowboys.</p><span style="font-size: 7.5pt; color: black; font-family: verdana">Eagles Flyers- Both degenerate Philly teams who can't win the big one.</span>

[Don Stugots]

the yanks are not like another team except for that soccer team in england, maybe.

[bionicyeti]

<p>Chicago Cubs = Detroit Lions</p><p>Both continue to have huge fan support despite never winning. Both live in the shadow of other successful teams in same city... Bulls,&nbsp;Bears,&nbsp;Pistons,&nbsp;Red Wings. Both have fans who go to the games just to get drunk in a crowd.</p>

Globetrotters and the Blackhawks
