/sp/
From Encyclopedia Dramatica
Perhaps one of the best boards on all of the *chans, and certainly the most easy to troll, /sp/ is 4chan's obligatory sports board. It's a place where overweight armchair quarterbacks go to troll back at the trolls trolling them, and discuss sports every now and then. Your average /sp/fag gets offended by anything, as long as it contradicts their favorite team or sport. For example, Eurofags get butthurt whenever the word "Soccer" is uttered and Amerifags can't stand it when their supposedly manly game is put down with words like "padball" and "handegg." Needless to say, the opportunity to fuck with stupid faggots is endless.

18-1
/sp/'s greatest meme and source of win comes, ironically, from one of the greatest sports failures of all time, the 2007 New England Patriots, in which the pissah BAWWston team won 18 consecutive games and then subsequently lost the Super Bowl. Whatever the subject, "18-1" is always the proper response to any Bostonfag saying anything ever, or to anyone else who appears easy to troll, which, again, is pretty much everyone.
KAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHN
Rax Grissman
In the 4th quarter of Super Bowl XLI quarterback Rex Grossman of the Chicago Bears made one of the stupidest, ill advised plays evar. Instead of making a sure-thing, check-down pass for a first down, he said, "Fuck it, I'm goin' DEEEEEEEP," and threw >9,000 yards down the field only to have it picked off, ensuring the Bears defeat. After he UNLEASHED THE DRAGON, Rex came to symbolize everything fail in sports (this was before 18-1), and thereby was destined to became a favorite of /sp/. When a cancerous newfag accidentally posted the much-win Rax Grissman in a Nod Flenders thread, the board finally had a fitting depiction of Sexy Rexy, as, like Rax, Grossman is a fucking joke.
/cle/
/cle/ is the delusional Cleveland faction of /sp/ (though this is sometimes extended to Columbus as well), which consists of underage b&s sucking LeCrab James's dick. /cle/ is notorious for having shitty sports teams, especially the Cleveland Browns of handegg and Cleveland Indians of steroidball. When not jacking off to pictures of Brady Quinn or browsing Cavfanatic, /cle/fags will post about how Kobe Bryant is inferior to LeBron (who, last Thursday, was dunked on by a college basketball player), and how Cliff Lee is a legitimate pitcher who didn't just have a fluke season in 2008.
/vc/
Like Rax and 18-1, most of /sp/'s memes come from epic fail in the world of sports. So it is no wonder that Vince Carter is one of /sp/'s oldest and most enduring memes. Unlike Grossman, /vc/'s fail was a more gradual process, as his promising early career turned out to be nothing more than hype and choking in the playoffs. Despite his crappiness, Carter is still good for 13 points worth of dunks every night, proving again and again to be one of the most over-payed players in the history of the game. He serves as a constant reminder to everyone of the mistake in thinking that a guy who's entire game is based on the slam dunk could ever really make it in the NBA.
BRETT FAVRE
BRETT FAVRE is a quarterback who is over 9,000 years old and has his own team, THE JEST The Vikings. In the past few months, BRETT FAVRE has moved to New York Minnesota and had John Madden surgically removed from his dick. This doesn't stop Madden from slobbering on BRETT FAVRE's knob at every chance, uttering his famous catchphrase:
| —ESPN on any subject. |
THAT. BIRD.
THAT. BIRD. is the result of the 2008-2009 NFL season when the Arizona Cardinals (now known as THAT. BIRD.) went on to defy the odds by going against The Best division in football and stumbling into the playoffs with a 9-7 record. They were signed off as a mere mistake, but then ended up lolling their way all the way up to the Super Bowl. The trail of drama and lulz from the teams they left behind are a story of NFL legend. Of course, being the typical massive joke and pile of fail team that they are, THAT. BIRD. Lost the game in the last 40 seconds of the Superbowl to the Pittsburgh Steelers, who went back home to the City of Champions while leaving THAT. BIRD in extreme butthurt. Shitsburgh is filled with faggotry. "Big" Ben rapes women and is a retard. Also, a racehorse that won the 2009 Kentucky Derby.
/hoc/
/hoc/ is the Hockey faction on /sp/. Most /hoc/ fags are fans of teams in the Atlantic Division (usually the Philadelphia Flyers), Canadafags, and fans of the Red Wings.
/sp/ hates Crosby so much, that whenever he is brought up, /sp/artans frequently post pictures of Crosby getting knocked down on his bitch ass, along with the caption "Its only fitting."
Other shitstorms in /hoc/ include: faggotry about the Flyers, Rangers, Red Wings, or any Canadian team, or how teams in Southern markets such as the Atlanta Thrashers or the Nashville Predators should move to Canada. If anyone mentions the Boston Bruins in a /hoc/ thread, the common response to said faggotry is 18-1. As previously mentioned. butthurt rants about Cindy Crosby are the most common topic in /hoc/. Also, hate against Gary Bettman is common.
/hoc/ doesn't exist outside of hockey season, until /sp/ discovered YAVA HOCKEY.
USA WON FIFA
The only Soccer discussion /sp/ usually has is the Soccer vs Football troll threads where Americans pretend to be Europeans and Europeans pretend to be Americans. They spew the same copypasta over and over again and nothing is ever really discussed. In June however during the Confederation Cup held in South Africa the American Soccer team decided to show up and they defeated Italy 3-0 while Brazil beat Egypt 3-0 in the final games of that group. Because of those bizarre outcomes and the tie breaking formula USA advanced to the next round in the tournament. Suddenly /sp/ was interested in Soccer and the upcoming game vs Spain, it was hyped up and called Megabowl II. Many people knew USA didn't stand much of a chance but patriotism and the possible trolling that could ensue led to about half of /sp/ picking USA over Spain. Game time came and the vuvuzelas were in full BZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ. USA scored two goals and TIM MOTHERFUCKING HOWARD had more saves than Trevor Hoffman and Mariano Rivera combined. USA won 2-0 and /sp/ exploded in ">spain" and "How does my ass taste Spain?". The Spanish butthurt was immense, America beat Spain at their national sport, the same sport America would otherwise not give a shit about. The Megabowl II gave /sp/ much needed lulz seeing as how the summer sucks for sports.
