I was having lunch with The Usual Suspects earlier today. The TV on the wall in front of me was tuned to some ESPN channel; probably ESPN 8, “The Ocho”, since they were showing a Harlem Globetrotters/Washington Generals game.
The question came up; have the Generals ever won a game?
The answer is; yes, and no.
Here’s the (I know) Wikipedia entry on the Washington Generals. Apparently, they last won a game on January 5, 1971, but they were playing as the New Jersey Reds at the time.
“They looked at us like we killed Santa Claus.”
I was also previously unfamiliar with the term “kayfabe“.
By the way, the Nets are now 7-55, for a 0.113 percentage. Projected wins for an 82-game season: 9.266.
