Cowboys, Raiders, Tebow fans rated 'most delusional'

When ESPN Radio host Colin Cowherd unveiled his list of the most delusional fan bases in sports, he surely lost a few listeners.

Give him this much: It's an intriguing topic.

For Dallas Cowboys fans, however, it touches a nerve. The Oakland Raiders faithful might feel the same way. Tim Tebow loyalists: Your ears are ringing.

Cowherd's assessment of Dallas echoes what critics have been saying for years, perhaps unfairly: "The owner (Jerry Jones) is your general manager (and) is sort of a running joke in the league. One playoff win in 15 years. I like Dallas more than most, but that's a delusional fan base," he riffed, via The Dallas Morning News.

We adore you all. We're just passing this one along. Deal with it.

Cowherd's top-10 most-delusional fan bases:

10. Chicago Bulls
    9. New York Knicks
    10. College basketball
