Cleveland is worse, although I disagree that its "not close". The Braves World Series 20 years ago gives Atlanta an edge, but you have to admit it has been pretty miserable for Atlanta as well. The world series was great, but all of those pennants and only one championship was pretty tough.

Other cities with a claim would include Buffalo, San Diego, Milwaukee, and Phoenix.

It's gotta be either Cleveland or Buffalo. The fact that Atlanta's lone World Series win came against Cleveland makes that an easy answer. I have buddies here who swear that 1995 Indians lineup was the best they've ever seen, but they just so happened to run into Maddux, Glavine and Smoltz. Combine that with the Browns failures, especially against Denver, watching LeBron announce his decision on national TV and winning two titles in Miami, and there's an easy case for Cleveland as the most tortured sports city.

Also the Browns fell for Manziel's cockier than shite attitude without actually realizing that he wasn't an NFL QB, while Teddy Bridgewater would have been the answer to their problems.

Packers are the unofficial NFL team for Milwaukee which alone would more than disqualify them. You can technically say it's not Milwaukee, but since everyone in Milwaukee(and the rest of the state) roots for the Packers in the NFL I would still count it
