I found this mildly entertaining - enjoy.

The Cubs fans are #1.
August 30th, 2013 at 10:57 AM ^
That is not possible in a world where the Lions don't get every home game blacked out.
August 30th, 2013 at 10:59 AM ^
I think you'll be disappointed. So far he has only listed football fans and it is a football blog so doubtful.
August 30th, 2013 at 11:47 AM ^
no one can accuse Cubs fans of front-running.
August 30th, 2013 at 10:03 AM ^
But #1 in our hearts.
August 30th, 2013 at 10:20 AM ^
That's great lmao
August 30th, 2013 at 10:21 AM ^
Please, warn people that you're posting something from Clay Travis. If I would have known, I wouldn't have clicked on anything that idiot wrote.
In fact, I would prefer if what he wrote didn't get posted at all. If it has to, it should come with a warning.
August 30th, 2013 at 10:23 AM ^
who is clay travis?
August 30th, 2013 at 10:32 AM ^
Apparently, a well-known idiot.
August 30th, 2013 at 10:34 AM ^
He's a Tennessee fan, SEC homer, misogynist troll god who has made his living off of writing click-bait columns with "controversial" points of view. Past projects include boob power rankings, defending Darren Rovell, and defending Brett Musburger's unprofessional fixation on Katherine Webb during the national championship game. He's atrocious.
August 30th, 2013 at 10:41 AM ^
So you're saying he got his start at Bleacher Report?
August 30th, 2013 at 11:29 AM ^
But it's all redeemed by this line:
"But if you're a fan of an SEC school and at some point you haven't looked around your stadium and thought, "Holy s--, there are a lot of really dumb mother------ here," you are completely lying to yourself."
August 30th, 2013 at 10:25 AM ^
Haha. Don't hold back now.
... they also have many more short, balding, dumb losers. Just about all of the these people root for Notre Dame.
August 30th, 2013 at 10:27 AM ^
The Rudy stuff is pretty awesome.
August 30th, 2013 at 10:30 AM ^
I cannot accept this list. Ohio State also attracts band wagon fans Notre Dame but their's aren't balding east coast catholics, they're all the WWE-loving, NASCAR-following, GED-having morons from the whole middle US.
They've got to be in the top 3 and actually suspect they will be. IIRC Clay Travis wrote a different article in the last few months about how dumb OSU fans are
August 30th, 2013 at 10:36 AM ^
They're in the top 2 easily.
August 30th, 2013 at 11:08 AM ^
Eh, I disagree. ND has way more bandwagon fans than OSU. OSU fans have typically been Buckeye fans for life and they usually know their football. They may be dumber people, but they aren't dumb fans.
August 30th, 2013 at 11:22 AM ^
Fo, fo, fo, fo life.
August 30th, 2013 at 11:28 AM ^
What's that old joke? That even if Notre Dame has a bad season, their fans won't be that upset, since they've still got Manchester United, the Cowboys, Lakers and Yankees to watch
August 30th, 2013 at 11:51 AM ^
Duke is the college bball team on that list.
August 30th, 2013 at 3:17 PM ^
they need to rethink success. I guess that would make you dumb and/or dumberer.
August 30th, 2013 at 10:40 AM ^
Meh, I agree with the OP that it is mildly amusing. It had some funny parts but went on way too long and just turned into a childish rant. I would be more amused if this wasn't a badly disguised ruse to just get clicks and I bet will ultimately end with lazy journalism claiming Eagles fans (disclaimer, I'm an Eagles fan) are #1 on the list because they threw snowballs at Santa over 40 years ago, blah blah.
August 30th, 2013 at 11:26 AM ^
Most of the last part I thought was uncalled for
August 30th, 2013 at 11:31 AM ^
This article is worthless and you should feel bad for posting it. Nothing but thoughtless stereotypes. Ironic, since anyone with more than mindless hatred for Notre Dame will recognize that this article is as stupid as the caricatures he's flogging.
August 30th, 2013 at 2:07 PM ^
more in common with ND fans than he would admit, except of course the short, bald part.
August 30th, 2013 at 11:40 AM ^
That was a really dumb article.
August 30th, 2013 at 2:47 PM ^
I wanted to drink a gallon of bleach.
August 30th, 2013 at 11:50 AM ^
Clay Travis is actually awesome. Great writer, funny and hates Ohio State.
August 30th, 2013 at 9:23 PM ^
I didn't know Clay had an account here.
August 30th, 2013 at 12:21 PM ^
Almost read it until I saw "Clay Travis." If there is a more insufferable person reporting on CFB, I'd like to meet him.
ND fans are dumb; shocking at an uber-popular team has dumb fanbois. I'm sure Alabama's fans are sparkling examples of the US educational system.
August 30th, 2013 at 3:20 PM ^
but this rant goes mostly nasty and without warrant. Ohio fans may be dumb but at least their team gives them reason to believe. Yeah, they are still incredibly overbearing.
