bow-legged

[Do228]

I've written a rant about [unspecified football team]. Are there any mistakes in this part?

[Unspecified football team] is a total basket case. In their 100 or so year long history, they've never won any significant titles or trophies. This season, the bow-legged, overweight team have been deservingly loosing almost all games so far. Best would be if they withdrew from soccer and maybe try baseball, squash or any other sport where they'd be out of my attention and can't ruin my and my friends' bets anymore.

See above.

You could pluralize and say 'are (total) basket cases', or better yet 'are all (total) basket cases'.
