You went wrong by not picking the Toronto Maple Leafs. They are clearly the worst organization. They have access to a fanatical fan base, take in plenty of revenue each and every year, and yet have been completely unable to put together a Stanley Cup-winning club for forty seasons now.

And this season, they're off to the worst start in franchise history (0-5, or as the NHL stupidly lists it, 0-4-1).

I remember they were very good in the 90's. They played a great series with the Kings the year of the McSorly Incident. Id say that they are the sufferers of bad luck while the Raiders seem to be just incompetent.

One year does not equal bad luck.

New York Jets are starting to turn the corner to patheticness.

CONN CHRIS · 10-19-2009, 01:55 PM

Can I change my vote to read "Washington Redskins"?

They have a coach that no onw apparently thinks is up to the task, hired a consultant to watch his moves and have now stripped him of play-calling responsabilities. Yet, he is still the coach!?!

That's pathetic. Can we assume that they know they will be horrid with or without the head coach and just want a scape goat?

Al Davis lost his mind somewhere along the line. Happens to everyone that lives to see 1,000.

The Maple Leafs, eight straight losses to start the season and counting. I love it. The too many brain dead fans in this town are getting the team they deserve.

Missouri teams seem to be particularly pathetic these days. Kansas City "boasts" both the Royals AND the Chiefs, and St Louis pretends to have a professional football team.

ctorg · 10-28-2009, 01:55 PM

I went with my Mets, probably mostly because I'm mad at them for being bad when they have the resources to be something other than bad.

jazzrack · 10-28-2009, 09:24 PM

clippers anyone?

The Redskins. What a pathetic excuse for an owner.

Yeah, he's an idiot and knows nothing about football. However, the man is willing to do what it takes to field a winner. I have to think that one day he'll figure it out.

I had to say the Pirates. Every year they trade away the only players who have somehow miraculously become good despite being on the the Pittsburgh organization, and they trade them away for prospects who could never even hope to be better than average MLB players. Just look at practically any of the trades they have made over the last decade, it is usually a very talented player going out the door for three C prospects. Having average players in quantity doesn't equal to one good player.

The Clippers
They transcend the barrier between sports to be the worst franchise top to bottom in North American sports.

Yeah, maybe he will see that the best thing he can do to field a winner is sell the team.
