Welcome to the Art of Creative Misfortune!

What is Creative Misfortune you ask?

Finding inspiration from the German phrase Schadenfreude, Creative Misfortune is all about taking your game to the next level in a creative way that brings misfortune to your opponents.

This blog is dedicated to the greatest game in the world – football. Specifically, American football, for those of you out there who insist the futbol featured in the World Cup games this past summer is the only true sport that can be called football.

But here, at The Art of Creative Misfortune, we talk about football played by the great and infamous teams that make up the National Football League. Other blogs and sports pages will unduly praise teams within the league, while always ripping select others, despite their victories. On these pages every team will be called to task for their misfortune, or lack thereof.

This blog will predict and recap the NFL games as it has never been done before. If events from outside the NFL strike our interest, we may stray from the football world to offer commentary, but our focus here is NFL Football.

In the coming weeks we will be sending open letters to the fan bases of each NFL team. When the regular season kicks off, weekly features will follow the events of the NFL schedule. Upon these pages, sarcasm will be read, games will be predicted, success and failure by each team will be recapped and the first ever, alternate-reality Creative Misfortune Fantasy Bowl will crown its champion.

Enjoy the football season along with the rest of us. It’s been a long, cold, dark summer filled with bad basketball decisions, atrocious baseball games and, of course, the riveting, pointless drama of scoreless draws in World Cup soccer games.

And if you stick around and find that your beloved team is skewered for its lack of creativity on any given Sunday, take heart and look around.

Your team will not be the only one basking in misfortune’s glory!
