New Orleans the last five years between the no call and Anthony Davis wanting out

Houston must be up here based on Texans. Every sports talk show is dominated by Texans damn near year round as they delve into meaningless crap. Our locals nitwits will spend an entire hour looking back on a trade 3-4 years ago to see if it was the right thing to do. Never mind that the player traded or received wasn’t an impact player for either team before or after.

By that logic Atlanta shouldn't be on the list because of the Braves young core and United's MLS cup

Houston?

Texans - back to back division titles and reigning division champ

Rockets - consistently in the playoffs and made a few runs recently

Astros - one game away from back to back WS appearances

All 3 teams made the playoffs last two years. Not sure they belong on this short list

That’s really not true. The Astros have been solid but didn’t find a ton of post season success

They tanked 8 years ago and here we are but it’s not like they were a laughing stock for decades. Just a lot heartbreak.

The Vikings are the most cursed team in the NFL.

What’s more painful? Almost getting there consistently and always letting you down or never having hope to begin with

The Texans suck and none of their playoff runs were real, shitty division and no one outside of the city gives them a shot.

Astros run now pretty much takes us out of consideration but 2017 chest scandal kinda brings it back. However hypocritical other fanbases want to be with it

Rockets 25 years of nothing but underwhelming playoffs results. The two titles are hit with MJ * and prior to 94, the rockets were nothing but disappointment

Edit: I use Houston because it’s what I know but Atlanta is the king of this category.

I wouldn't say Atlanta is the worst sports city, but it is definitely filled with the most disappointment.

As a Panthers fan I still get a good laugh out of the occasional 28-3 joke. That will go down as the biggest choke in sports history. It will never be matched. Not even by Yankees-Red Sox in 04.

The Braves are one of the best franchises in the league in the regular season.

Hawks could be good if they could play defense.

Not even close bud....... the Braves won like 14 straight NL division titles , yet during that time they could not sell out most playoff games. Atlanta fans WANT to act spoiled like they have won something. But they haven’t done crap.

I won’t deny we cheated for our 2018 WS. And I don’t care that the Astros cheated. I was just pointing out a lot of fans around the league don’t support the title.

That’s a pathetic take coming from a guy that supports the Red Sox. Cry baby every year until the Yanks fell apart in 2004. AND what’s so sad about the last title you guys won was the fact that your team was good enough to win without cheating.

I think the Detroit Lions. Bobby Layne put the whammy on them, by the way. Some Cuban voodoo shite, out of Texas.

Red Sox have 60 years on the Astros, yet still have the same amount of Division Titles. Oof.

Add the Gophers, and then remember the Stars won a Stanley Cup with essentially the same players as the Minnesota North Stars. Plus, the Lakers.

Minneapolis certainly has a very strong case.
