Default BD\'s 15 Worst Franchises in Sports

The following is based on numerous categories, including ownership, talent, production, stadium, affordability, coaching, and hotness of the cheerleaders.


1. Portland Trail Blazers- Nicknamed the Jailblazers for a reason, you'll be hard pressed to find many worse franchises in this. Although the Blazers had some success, John Nash decided to revamp the roster in 03 with players that are less talented, but also with less of a rap sheet. It's a shame Blazer fans have to deal with this, as they are as loyal as they come.
2. Arizona Cardinals- Have had only one winning season and NFL playoff appearance since 1984. Terrible terrible attendance at Sun Devil Stadium, and although since they've moved its gotten better, its still not nearly where they want it.
3. Kansas City Royals- Davis Glass is an owner who gives the sport a bad rap. He never attempts to go after any big free agents, and rarley re-signs the decent ones he has. As a result Kansas City will not have a competitive team for years to come.
4. Oakland Raiders- Don't need to explain this one. The Raiders are clueless right now, with the exception of the win over the Steelers. They have no trust in their coaches, and play without a passion on the field. Ever since the SB appearance a few years back they have been on a freefall.
5. New York Knicks- The Knicks are redefining what a bad franchise is. To spend so much money on players and a Hall of Fame coach, then to become the worst team in the league for possibly the next 10 years completely redefines futility and terrible management.
6. Tampa Bay Devil Rays
7. Toronto Raptors
8. Minnesota Vikings
9. San Fran 49ers
10. Atlanta Hawks
11. Philadelphia Phillies
12. L.A Dodgers
13. Baltimore Orioles
14. L.A Clippers
15. Detroit Lions

Honorable Mention: Cleveland Browns

Discuss.

Edit: I did not include NHL.

I would agree with the Raptors before they hired Colangalo (sp?)

Just to expand a little more on how stupid this list is,

Is this list the worst franchise presently or ever?
If it's ever how the hell are the 49ers, Raiders up?
If it's presently how the hell are the Vikings and Dodgers up?

It makes a difference if this is an "all time worst" or just a Last "3 to 5 years worst". Based on your picks, I will take it's the latter.

Keep up the great contributions guys, this is how we keep such a great site.

OP, I'd ditch the Vikings. I think the Bobcats will make their way onto there after a few years.
