buffalo bills-- need i say more the 4 super bowls? no, i dont.
cleveland indians-- this team cant get over the hump when they were good, now they cant even field a healthy team.
detroit lions-- fuck you, matt millen
buffalo sabres-- obvious fuckin reasons
boston celtics
chicago cubs-- its almost comical now
vancouver canucks-- see sabres
toronto maple leafs-- see above, plus 3 years
chicago blackhawks-- see above

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 royals won the 85 series.

sonics won the 79 finals.

how about the seattle mariners? the mariners should be on that list.

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.

The sonics don't fucking exist anymore. That fanbase was straight up screwed and robbed of its team.

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.

You included a franchise in your list that won a title in fucking 2008...

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.
