Sports Worst of the Worst, Bobcat should Protest

[Ratickle]

There is no way Bobcats favorite team should be in second place. He should sue!!!!


What are qualities of a successful sports franchise? A proud history. Strong leadership. Great players. Loyal fans. A shrewd owner. A bright future. Well, the teams on this list lack almost all of them. Here are our picks for the 10 worst franchises in the four major North American sports leagues (NFL, MLB, NBA, NHL).


1Charlotte Bobcats

The Charlotte Bobcats have become synonymous with futility. Since being founded in 2004 the Bobcats have managed to become a perennial disappointment in every significant NBA category despite drafting in the lottery 8 out of 9 possible years.

2Chicago Cubs

Every team is entitled to a bad century and the Cubs have had theirs — and then some. They haven't won a championship in 102 years, the longest title drought of any major North American professional sports team. The Cubs and Boston Red Sox used to be lumped together as baseball's lovable losers, but the Sox have found it's a lot more fun to win. And it's not so cute when you spend a ton of money on players and still fail miserably, as Chicago has done lately.

Detroit is only 4th all time.....

4Detroit Lions

Fans of a certain age can remember the glory years of the Lions, who were once an NFL powerhouse. Unfortunately, that age is around 80. Detroit hasn't been any good since winning its fourth NFL title in 1957, thanks to thrifty owners, bad drafts and dumb trades. They've never made the Super Bowl but they did make history in 2008 by becoming the first NFL team to finish a season 0-16.

Detroit just head scratched their way through another NFL Draft:huh:

I dunno if I even buy the thrifty part...
I think just "not as smart" as the other teams, owners, and managers

 

[Ratickle]

They refuse to hire a guy with true management knowledge of running a team under the new draft and $ cap rules. It's always guys they like their personalities or something. That idiot announcer from the Raiders may have been the most idiotic of all. Especially as a GM.
