NFL: The losers weep

| February 12, 2016 8:00 PM

The gladiator head bashing show otherwise known as NFL football really tests our national loyalty.

When Sholeh asked you “what does the loser get?” the answer to the 13 teams that have never won one of the 50 Super Bowls is: Not much.

That’s right, for fans of the Bills, Lions, Vikings, Bengals, Browns, Eagles, Panthers, Jaguars, Titans/Oilers, Chargers, Texans, Falcons and Cardinals, their share at the pigskin championship trough is a semi-century fast.

So what’s the point?

Besides, in 1980, only two NFL players weighed over 300 pounds. Now it’s over 250! Seven weigh over 350 lbs.

Maybe that’s why NFL brain injuries are reaching new highs or lows depending on which sideline sustained the last concussion.
