Don’t worry, Kobe: You have company … well, not much company. But you do have some. History is on your side and …

Ok, we’re lying: You got trashed like a 16-year-old having his first shots of Jaeger. It was ugly, and if we cared about you, we’d be a bit more concerned.

That said, other team’s have been bushwacked in a title game. Don’t believe me? Here you go:

Superbowl 24 - 49ers 55, Broncos 10: All I remember from this game is not only did Joe Montana throw 15 touchdown passes, but Bud Light led the Bud Bowl after one quarter by the same score the Niners did: 13-3 (I believe Budweiser came back to win, using the kitchen sink).

1984 Election - Reagan 524, Mondale 13: Honestly, Fritz, you spent how many dozens of millions of bucks, and you only got 13 more than me? That’s gotta hurt.

1990 NCAA Title Game - UNLV 103, Duke 73: 28-year-old Larry Johnson and 33-year-old Stacey Augmon came out and whupped 12-year-old Bobby Hurley’s Blue Devils from start to finish. A year later, debt would force Augman and LJ to throw the semifinal game. Sigh.

More ass whuppins after the jump.

1988 French Open Women’s Finals - Steffi Graf def. Natalie Zvereva 6-0, 6-0: Graf won in like 40 minutes, actually apologized to the crowd for her opponent’s play. Zvereva promised never to show her face in Roland Garros again.

Superbowl 37 - Bucs 48, Raiders 21: Remember Rich Gannon? No, not for his analysis on CBS, for his 64 interceptions in this game. Never before has a player confused pewter and silver.

1990 World Series - Reds 4, A’s 0: In the pre-admission steroid days of Canseco and McGwire, a stick figure named Eric Davis slammed a 1st-inning homer in game one, and the Redlegs never looked back. Did you realize the A’s won 175 games that year? Quite a sweep for the Queen Citiers.

1987 World Series, game 7 - Royals 11, Cardinals 0: Ok Cards fans, time to bitch about the Don Denkinger call. Yes, it was wrong, but that was game six. Playing game seven would’ve really helped.
