Rockets finished dead last (yay )
Texans have a half-game lead on dead last
Astros are WS champs

I wonder if another city has ever accomplished this feat.

I mean those things aren't related in any way other than the name Houston

The Oilers announced they were moving not too long after the Rockets won their second championship.

So no relation whatsoever except the fact that they are pro sports and in the same city

Any other shitty points you'd like to make?

Watson tore his ACL the day after the 2017 title if I remember right. Need to protect Jalen Green at all costs these next few months

And months later CP3 injured his hamstring as the Rockets went up 3-2 on the Warriors

Don't have time to look up the Big Four standings every year but going by Super Bowl winners I can narrow it down.

Pittsburgh - The Penguins were bad when the Steelers won Super Bowl XL and the Pirates are always bad.

Dallas 1992 - Rangers and Mavs are usually bad, no Stars yet

Washington - Mavs are usually bad. Just need a year the Capitals sucked and the Name Redacteds won the Super Bowl.

San Fran - Giants were bad in the early 80s. Dubs were bad back then. Would just have to see which side of the bay had them.

Not even sure how they are paying these players. Haven't watched a single Rockets game this season but they are 2-12 and 1-9 in our last 10

Only that this thread is ridiculous on its face.

2019 DC is close: Nats won the WS. Wizards 25-47 9th in the East. Redskins 3-13, last place. Capitals were also very good, though, if you expand to hockey.

One has great ownership and is a current champion. The other two don’t and aren’t.

Remember back after the Astros won their first World Series, the Texans were looking to be a contender with young phenom Deshaun Watson, and the Rockets were looking good and in the mix for a championship with Harden.

All 3 teams were looking strong.

My 3 favorite pro teams don’t reside in one city, but I’d definitely take 2 last place finishes in exchange for a championship for the 3rd. I’d think a city would be even more for it. Especially with the title being in MLB, because at least the NFL and NBA give you hope sooner with a high draft pick.

But own a lot of Brooklyn picks so as long as kyrie keeps hating Jews the rockets have a bright future

The Texans might as well move to Memphis

This was almost it. The 2004-05 NHL season never happened and the Pens had the worst record in 2003-04. So they were the reigning chumps when the Steelers won the Super Bowl.

Pirates were tied for the worst record in the NL, but the Royals were even worse.

quote:

Dallas 1992 - Rangers and Mavs are usually bad, no Stars yet


Rangers finished below .500 buy in fourth place. However, in 1972 they lost 100 games in their first season in Texas. Good for worst in the league. The Mavericks didn't exist yet.

quote:

Washington - Bullets/Wizards are usually bad. Just need a year the Capitals sucked and the Name Redacteds won the Super Bowl.


Bullets were bad each time the Super Bowl happened but not bad enough.

quote:

San Fran - Giants were bad in the early 80s. Dubs were bad back then. Would just have to see which side of the bay had them.


The Dubs were in Oakland each time the Niners won the Super Bowl. So going across the bridge...they were decent in 1976, and bad in 1980 but not bad enough.

I'll let someone else check World Series winners.
