CC97 Posted March 29, 2007 Share Posted March 29, 2007 I'm surprised the Leafs were so low... but happy to be included --- Chris Creamer Founder/Editor, SportsLogos.Net "The Mothership" • News • Facebook • X/Twitter • Instagram Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VitaminD Posted March 29, 2007 Share Posted March 29, 2007 Ah, to be a Philadelphian.2 in the Top 5, a 3rd team just outside the Top 30.I was 7 the last time a parade rumbled down Broad Street that WASN'T held on New Year's Day. "Start spreading the news... They're leavin' today... Won't get to be a part of it... In old New York..."In order for the Mets' run of 12 losses in 17 games to mean something, the Phillies still had to win 13 of 17. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snazel Posted March 29, 2007 Share Posted March 29, 2007 Stupid list. If the Cubs are not #1, its a stupid list.The biggest variable I take issue with is the idea that making it to the finals, and *not* winning, somehow means you've suffered more.Right now Cubs fans would dream of an NL Pennant, sure they'd rather have a WS ring, but an NL Pennant wouldn't be considered heart-breaking it would be considered a triumph.

winghaz Posted March 29, 2007 Share Posted March 29, 2007 This is absolutely fantastic. But three thoughts?1. Why are the Vikings ranked only 27th? They should be higher.2. What would this list look like had it been done before the Red Sox and White Sox world championships?3. I'm almost surprised the Yankees aren't on this list. That is, if you go by what Steinbrenner and the fans feel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tBBP Posted March 29, 2007 Share Posted March 29, 2007 My question is how the Altanta Hawks got to be so low on the list...outside of Dominique Wilkins, Spud Webb, and Doc Rivers (and I only know THAT because of an article in USA Today that I read?uh...today), and oh yes, Deke Mutumbo, name one singular player on the Hawks right now. Or in the past 10 years. Last division chamiponship? Last playoff game?Off top, anyone know? *Disclaimer: I am not an authoritative expert on stuff...I just do a lot of reading and research and keep in close connect with a bunch of people who are authoritative experts on stuff. || dribbble || Behance || Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TFoA Posted March 29, 2007 Share Posted March 29, 2007 I could roll off the whole starting line up. Me + Mom having season tickets and being a fan = Me subjected to hearing about how to fix the Hawks whenever I'm at the game or they're on TV.But yeah, I doubt anybody outside of the A could name any of what you mentioned without google.Agreed though, the Hawks should at least be top-15.

Keep in mind, I'm not a Hawks fan either.Back on topic... My Nuggets & Mariners made the list, hooray! Man, I forgot how bad it was being a Nuggets fan in between when LaPhonso Ellis left to when Carmelo Anthony was drafted. It hurts just to think about it.Mariners, yea, they shouldn't be THAT high though. Even though having the best record ever and not even making it to the World Seires is pretty sad.

tBBP Posted March 29, 2007 Share Posted March 29, 2007 Being a Lions fan comes close.Or an Arizona Cardinals fan since, well, before most of us popped out our momma stomachs...(all apologies to Mr. PANTONE...)And while I'm on this topic, I know the team has enjoyed some success in more recent years (screw the "winning a championship" criterion)...but HOW in the royal HELL did my Tampa Bay Buccaneers not end up on this list???(Yes I know I just answered my own question--they won the SB in '03--but, still...whose fans have suffered worse than the Buccaneers pre-'97?) *Disclaimer: I am not an authoritative expert on stuff...I just do a lot of reading and research and keep in close connect with a bunch of people who are authoritative experts on stuff. || dribbble || Behance || Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted March 30, 2007 Share Posted March 30, 2007 Not as if this latest Booyah Network tripe had any aspirations of objectivity, but what exactly is a "soul-sucking moment" and what isn't, and who are some anonymous low-level dopes in a metro-Hartford office park to decide what is? The Cubs don't have enough of them? Get real. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VitaminD Posted March 30, 2007 Share Posted March 30, 2007 I hate the Cubs with a passion but TCR is right. Nothing comes close to what Cubs fans have suffered through.That's true... to a point.What percentage of Cubs fans root only for the Cubs, and follow only baseball? What I am driving at, is that Chicago sports fans have been given a lifetime of parades in the past 25 years. The Bears' Super Bowl (and an appearance this year), and SIX Bulls titles soften the blow of not winning a World Series for a century. Yeah, there've been some heartaches, but it's tempered by the fact that the local teams have won the big one. And what percentage of Cubs fans have suffered through all 99 years of futility? I haven't been alive for a third of that time, and I can still recall the NLCS from 1984 vividly. A lot of Cubs fans can't say the same.Believe me, I can commiserate - the Phillies have 1 World Series in 124 seasons. And for those who haven't been keeping score, they'll lose their 10,000th game as a franchise this season. Yup... the losingest sports franchise in the world. "Start spreading the news...
