Cactus Game Design Message Boards

The thread called, "Let's go Colts", prompted me to post this article by Bill Simmons which is pretty objective in determining the rank (pun intended) of the worst sports franchises and/or cities:

I only read the list, not the other long wordy criteria, but I have two comments:

1.) Glad to see the Cubs on top .
2.) The Mets should be up there.

i'd s thumb down 50 times for that comment wraith.
i hate the yankees GO RED SOX!!!!!

2.) The Mets should be up there.

He mentioned the Mets in the article. Basically, they are not far enough removed from the 1986 Championship, but once they are, they will qualify for the list.

if you hate the yankees you should +1 my comment a million times.

I would say that the Cubs would definatly be the sports team that has been the most tortured.  They haven't won in 7,000 years and the everytime they get close, something / someone does something to ruin it.

Cleveland has to be the most tortured city!  The city hasn't won a championship in almost 40 years.  They are also one of the only cities that has all 4 types of the major sports teams.  So they have at least 4 different chances every year to win a championship and fall short every year. 

I'm a cavs fan and now it's back to if we get into the playoffs, that means we won the championship.

It's definately the Cubs followed by Cleveland now. Note the article is pre-LeBye.
