<p>Before I get started today, let's go ahead and open up the submissions for <a href="https://defector.com/category/why-your-team-sucks">Why Your Team Sucks</a> 2026. Does your NFL team suck? Well then, email us <a href="mailto:%20wyts@defector.com">here</a> and tell us why. A quick refresher of the guidelines for you. One: put your team's name and "WYTS" in the subject line. Two: Your team only, please. If you're some asshole Steelers fan sending in a missive about how pathetic the Browns are, right into the dustbin it goes. Got all that? Good. Then let's get down to business.</p>
