hormone Posted July 19, 2008 Share Posted July 19, 2008 It's my sole duty to (from where I'm from) to nominate Cleveland for sure and Philly as a runner up. I'm actually surprised with all these Philly fans saying how they won this and that and they didn't mention their biggest sports star and champion...Rocky Balboa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BBTV Posted July 19, 2008 Share Posted July 19, 2008 Again - Philadelphia would certainly be one of the favorites, unless you actually READ THE ARTICLE and look at the author's criteria.

gojetsgo Posted July 19, 2008 Share Posted July 19, 2008 I actually think Loserville Canada has to be the ironically named Winnipeg the Jets were a laughing stock in the NHL despite a loyal fan base and the Blue Bombers have been misfiring for two decades.While it's true Winnipeg hasn't lived up to the "Win" in its name, I disagree. I've never heard the Jets being referred to as a laughing stock - they had some good teams and some poor teams, and a lack of playoff success - but overall they didn't stand out as the losers of the league. Not to mention, the Jets had powerhouse teams in the 70s, taking home 3 Avco cups, and being the undisputed best team in WHA history. The Bombers haven't won a Grey Cup for a while, but they've been a solid team the last few years (except for this year - blecch) and have a very respectable 10 in their history.

PittsburghSucks Posted July 19, 2008 Share Posted July 19, 2008 The reason I chose Cleveland was due to a number of things. - It's been since 1964 that any team has won anything. - Cleveland's managed to LOSE both an NHL team and an NFL team at some point in their history. Not many cities can boast that. - The indians went on this small 40 year run where they didn't make the playoffs. And not only did they not make the playoffs, but they rarely finished higher than 4th. My uncle was at that Perfect game with about 2,000 other people.- The Browns are one of only a handful of franchises who have yet to participate in a super bowl. - The Cavaliers were wholly irrelevant in the late 90's and early 00's and were one of the worst teams in the league for much of their history.- and the heartbreaking high profile ways teams find a way to lose puts them in a lot of people's minds when it comes to losing. The famous ones are the most recent NBA finals sweep, the 97 world series to a 5 year old expansion team, red right 88, the drive, the fumble. You know, the classics. Cleveland's had it rough, you can't dispute that.Although Cleveland hasn't won a pro champinoship since 1964 they have won more then Cincinnati. Let's compare.MLB: Reds 5 - Indians 2NFL: Bengals 0 - Browns 4 (8 if you count the Browns 4 AAFC championships)In my math 6 Cleveland pro championships beats 5 Cincinnati pro championships every time.Cleveland is not even the biggest loser city in Ohio it Cincinnati.

winters in buffalo Posted July 19, 2008 Share Posted July 19, 2008 It has to be Cleveland. Buffalo has had more near-misses in recent history (9 final or semifinal losses in an 18 year stretch), but Cleveland has been futile longer, and with more teams.

mantleisthebest7 Posted July 19, 2008 Share Posted July 19, 2008 Gotta be Cleveland.Browns: Well theyre the Browns. I'll leave it at that.Cavaliers: Play craptastic basketball all thier years and then finally get to the Finals last year - only to play some more craptastic basketball.Indians: Last title was 1948, then in 1954 they wallop the AL (including a very powerful Yankees team) only to get swept by Willie Mays and the Giants in the World Series. Literally lifeless from then until 1995 when team finally gets back to the Series, losing again but this time to the team they defeated in '48, the Braves. They return in 1997 and look like the clear favrites against a young Marlins team in only thier fourth year as as franchise. Then SUPRISE! Indians lose, Florida wins thier first of two World Series titles. It dosent get worse than that fellas. Jimmy Eat World Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamikel Posted July 20, 2008 Share Posted July 20, 2008 I would say BuffaloNo, no, no. If a tournament to find Loserville, USA were actually held, Buffalo would be the favorite that breezed to the finals, only to be upset by Cleveland on a controversial call that failed to bring the Browns' pre-Super Bowl NFL championships into account. Buffalo citizens, outraged that they can't even win at losing, would be bitter and angry at ESPN for decades to come. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
