in case anyone was wondering, my choice of the boston celtics has nothing to do with their championships, but the fact they have had 2 young, very promising players collapse and pass away (len bias and reggie lewis... tragic losses) |

1. Cubs, for sure 2. Sabres, via Alex's point 3. Bills, for obvious reasons 4. Clippers, because of this piece written by Bill Simmons - holy shit 5. Leafs, if only for the curse of Bill Barilko's disappearance and sucking miserably since 1967 6. Blackhawks, 40-what years without a Cup now? 7. Browns, duh 8. Canucks, the Sabres Cup-less drought-sharing expansion cousins 9. Raiders, first Oakland and then L.A. and then back to Oakland and only John Madden could make anything happen for them HAH 10. Yea, I got nothin for 10 |

Actually, I have to remove the leafs and add the Sonics. That team was STOLEN. I'll find the Simmons piece on that if I can. |

The Pirates are starting to get there, but at least they have something resembling a respectable past. They are currently working on their 15th straight losing season, that's already a record for ALL SPORTS franchises. |

To be fair, I probably shouldn't have included any baseball teams at all on that list. From what I hear about Cubs fans, there's so much trendy-fandom and pink hat-ness to raise their douchebaggery to a level where no one should care about them. |

and the sonics were relocated, but on the basis they will return once washington officials finally decide to build a new arena. i mean, hell, then you have to include every team thats moved. i think it sucks, for sure. |
