Five people and/or teams who really need to go away

This is a list of entities in sports who I really wish would go away. Not like violently or anything like that, but you know, just... just go away, please. Retire. Do whatever you gotta do.

The following people or organizations annoy me greatly for a myriad of reasons (as if you couldn't tell, I took the time to write about them). Maybe you'll agree with me, maybe not. Let's begin:

1. Roger Goodell

Hating on Goodell is so cliche and overdone, but I couldn't not put him on here. I don't even dislike Goodell as much as other people, but he is kind of a joke. He completely botched the suspensions of NFL players like Ray Rice and Greg Hardy, only lengthening their suspensions after public outcry forced his hand. He's also largely responsible for the overblown witchhunt and media circus that is "Deflategate." And those two things are just recent transgressions.

We'll keep this one short and sweet though since Roger's been roasted nonstop for years. Moving on...

2. Chip Kelly

I don't really buy that he's a racist like LeSean McCoy likes to imply. Not only is that pretty far-fetched, but a guy who brawls with cops in nightclubs and doesn't tip at restaurants despite being a millionaire probably isn't the best judge of character anyway.

A lot of people in Philly probably hate him for dismantling their team, but as a Cowboys fan, I can't really roast him for that either. Though I will say Demarco Murray WAS one of my favorite Oklahoma Sooners and Dallas Cowboys of all time....until Chip convinced him into putting on that ugly green jersey. Thanks, Chip.

No, my main problem is this: what exactly is the big deal about Chip Kelly?

His teams are generally fun to watch, sure. And it's appealing to imagine a team playing at such a blinding speed that other teams can't keep up.

But the guy has never really won anything except for mostly regular season games in a relatively weak PAC-12. Typically, his teams would roll into big games averaging over 40 points only to put up around half of that.

And for what it's worth, Oregon hasn't really missed a beat without him, going to the inaugural College Football Playoff and even making it to the championship (though last season was a bit of a downer).

When Kelly left Oregon and was coming into the NFL as the Eagles' head coach, fans and analysts all over were gushing about the hire and bouncing off the walls.

I remember so much praise being heaped on him: How he was a "genius," how he would "revolutionize the NFL," and similar ridiculousness.You would think Philly had just hired Vince Lombardi.

Yet Kelly couldn't make it through three seasons, and only won a very weak NFC East one time. His teams never exactly lit the world on fire like people thought and he got fired before his third season was even over.

Welp.

Still, the San Francisco 49ers hired him almost immediately, in part to resurrect Colin Kaepernick's career.

Spoiler alert: the 49ers will still be middling to bad, Kaepernick may very well lose his job to Blaine Gabbert again (lol), and the team will not win anything of importance.

3. The Cleveland Browns and Detroit Lions

You shouldn't hate teams that are bad. Most people hate teams that are good; nobody hates the Buccaneers or Timberwolves, for instance.

That said, I'm getting to the point where I can't stand the Lions or Browns just because of their ineptitude.

I grouped these two together because they're essentially the same team, just in different conferences.

Both have been around forever, both were actually good in the '50's, winning multiple championships (what), and both have a surprisingly large and passionate fan base.

I admire the fans for their loyalty, but I feel really bad for them too. They're like a married person who's miserable but stays in it for the kids.

You can usually count on the Browns to be "that guy" in the draft who takes the one or two players in the first round we all KNOW will bust.

Cleveland, it may have surprised you that 30 year-old Brandon Weeden wasn't a franchise quarterback you could build around, but I assure you, it surprised no one else.

Cleveland also fires its head coach every year with the apparent mindset of "He didn't win a Super Bowl with our awful players in his first year, so he's clearly not the guy."

I'd be willing to bet the sports writers in Cleveland already have their Mad Libs article saved to their desktop waiting for next January:

"The Cleveland Browns fired _______ in his first season as head coach, sources indicate. ________ compiled a __-__ record as Cleveland missed the playoffs for the ___ season in a row. _____, _____, and ______ are believed to be a few candidates Cleveland is targeting."
 
I could go on, but I need to roast the Lions right quick.

Detroit is responsible for the first and only 0-16 NFL season after taking nothing but wide receivers in what seemed like ten straight drafts.

They also wasted the careers of two of the greatest football talents of all time: Barry Sanders and Calvin Johnson. The losing culture of the club was so prevalent that it broke each of their spirits into retiring early.

"Megatron" can say he's content and it's about injuries, but come on. If he played for a team like the Patriots or Broncos, we aren't having this conversation.

Thanks Detroit, one of the most entertaining players in the league and potential GOAT at wide receiver is retiring at age 30. For comparison, Randy Moss, T.O. and Jerry Rice were all pushing 40 when they were on their way out.

If franchises were disbanded for being awful, these two would be the first on the chopping block. Though I will say the "expansion team" excuse is getting tired for a couple of other teams (I'm looking at you, Jacksonville and Houston).

4. Alabama Crimson Tide

Hey, who wants to see Alabama win another title? Or even be in the playoff? Anyone aside from their fans?

I mean, even the bandwagon fans are getting weary of this. They've never been with a team for this long.

It won't be much longer and we'll just have to refer to them as "fans." I guess you could say things are getting pretty serious.

In all honesty, I don't have any legitimate problems with Alabama. Their real, non-bandwagon fans are generally classy and not obnoxious, Nick Saban is a great coach, and their organization appears to be top-notch. I'm just tired of them.

Go away please. Come on Nick, you know you wanna try the NFL again.

5. Steph Curry and the Golden State Warriors

Look, I get it. Curry is an awesome player and is probably one of the most relatable superstars ever. The Warriors are dominant and fun to watch with all their crossovers and three-pointers and such.

But much like Alabama, I'm tired of both Curry and his team. Already. And they just won their first title last year.

The media somehow thinks I want to see or hear about every single half-decent play Curry has ever made. Apparently, I should also really care that he roots for the Panthers and know what kind of car interior he likes, or the ice:soda ratio he prefers at restaurants.

OK maybe I'm exaggerating on those last two, but that's really what it feels like.

In addition to overexposure, I'm tired of Curry and the Warriors because they're too good.

You look at their roster and you're like "Yeah, alright, they should be good. You know, 55-65 wins, give or take."

But currently sitting at 48-4, on pace to have the best record of all time, head-and-shoulders better than every other team?

Nah man. That ain't cool.

Their ascension to the mountaintop was way too easy, too. Look back at the history of the NBA, and just about every great NBA team had to wait its turn and have its heart broken before it finally won a title.

Not the Warriors. They were a playoff team before, but their first season being championship good ended in a glorified waltz to the trophy.

In the playoffs, they avoided the Spurs and injury-shattered Thunder (both teams have been the West's top dogs the last four years running) and faced banged-up teams in every round. They had it pretty easy, whether their fans want to admit it or not.

The worst part about this one is that they're getting better, and probably aren't going anywhere.

Golden State is somehow paying the best player in the NBA 11 mill per season for like three more years right in time for the salary cap boom, so they won't be getting James Harden'd any time soon. They will have absolutely no problem keeping their players or bringing new guys in.

Ugh. Not fair. And don't even get me started on the bandwagon fans who don't know who Baron Davis is, and think there's a 51st state called "Golden."
