Forgettable sports teams

It should be. At least until the "Here We Go Again: Panthers Edition" starts up.

I once forgot the Panthers played in the NHL. I remember the Blue Jackets before I remember the Panthers. They're so irrelevant that they never get brought up in relocation discussions, despite being the best candidate for relocation outside of the Coyotes.

I think Florida's should be "Awww :censored: , it's starting to smell."

In the NHL the traditional irrelevant teams have been relevant for bad reasons (PHX, ATL, FLA, CLB, NYI) this leads me to name Carolina as the new most irrelevant team in the NHL.

They won a Cup five years ago, you dip.

Yeah I know, just not sure how that makes them relevant in 2011.

I'd say the Buccaneers, the Panthers, the Grizzlies/Raptors, and the Royals

What really gets me is the "great fan" stuff. It's sad to think of our country as a "Steeler Nation", because that would mean that we're a country of near-sighted inbreds from the mountains that can't speak competent English.

Let's go Brownies!

NBA- New Jersey Nets :cry:

I don't think the Nets are irrelevant, at least compared to the Bobcats, Grizzlies, Raptors, and SuperSonics.

Supersonics are so irrelevant, they decided to move to Oklahoma City to become the Thunder

They have had solid performance since then, coming just 1 or 2 points shy of the playoffs this year and making it to the east finals in 09

BigMac's posts make me want to punch babies.

which has nothing to do with relevancy. In fact it speaks more to their irrelevancy that they're not bad yet the avg person either doesn't know they exist or doesn't think about them unless their team is playing them.

If you asked the hypothetical Man On The Street if there's an NHL team in Raleigh, North Carolina, he's probably gonna say 'no.' Of course, he'd probably say the same thing if you asked about Detroit, so hmph.

At some point "relevance" became "relevancy," I noticed.

NHL - Florida Panthers - Rarely make the playoffs, trade away all their decent players, nobody goes to any of their games, and they are always out of the playoff race by December.

NBA - Charlotte Bobcats - An average bad basketball team. Never have any good players.

NFL - Detroit Lions - Haven't made the playoffs in a decade, they went 0-16 a couple years ago, and they always get crushed on Thanksgiving.

MLB - Florida Marlins - Haven't been good in a while and they trade away their good players.

Woah! You think I'm Cody? My name is Carl Scott Simone and we just happen to share a birthday. BIG DEAL.

Wow...y'all resurrected this?

Well since ya did, we now have a new leading candidate. And remember, for a team to be truly irrevant:

- no one (outside the city it plays in) knows, thinks, talks, or cares about it, or even remembers that the team exists

- it's firmly entrenched in mediocrity

- No one would know, care ir miss the team if it moved and/or closed up shop

My last nominee was the Sacramento Kings...but now with all the sale/relocaton/ aloof Maloof talk, they're back in the public conscience again. Just about every other post mentions the Florida Panthers, meaning enough people remember that they exist that they can't be completely irrelevant. No NFL team will ever be irrelevant as long as that league exists, due to it being as big a media machine as it is. I'd nominate the Kansas City Royals, but I get the feeling that folks in KC actually and genuinely do care about them, and would notice if they moved or folded. All of which leaves one team as the newly minted Most Irrelevant Team in (Major) Pro Sports...

...the Milwaukee Bucks.
