  1. I agree that Atlanta is the worst. I feel really bad for them...

    I don't know why Phoenix is so bad...they've got a lot going for them.

    Minneapolis-St. Paul should be higher on this list...it's a never-ending disappointment...

  2. Atlanta is only on that list because Falcons QB Vick likes to hold dogfights can't win a Super Bowl... and because the Braves haven't won any world series lately .. and the Hawks haven't been contenders in a very long time ... and the Thrashers traded away Marian Hossa .... and ...

    What was my point again?

  3. I am surprised Philadelphia is only Number 9 I was thinking them and buffalo would be 1 and 2.

  4. Nah...Buffalo is only miserable because of all the arsonists roaming around.

    I kid you not, watch a newscast from Buffalo and count how many times there's an arson.

  5. I read through the original article, and it's kinda painful to read, what some of these clubs have gone through.
    Atlanta's solo position, sits with the Falcons' lack of super bowl wins, the Braves, in Atlanta, have what, one world series win? The Thrashers are getting thrashed, most of the time, even with talent, and the Hawks, well......they used to have some hope.

    Although, personally, I think Phoenix should have gotten higher, as they are the only club in history, to have back-to-back 0 win seasons.
