The Browns are so bad. The fans I know are all on the brink of turning it in. |

Knicks maybe not even though the last 10/12 years or so have been a major disappointment for their fans ....you'd expect a lot better from such a big club.
Cubs most certainly belong on the list

If you had asked for the worst franchises over the last 40 years, then you have a point by including the Leafs.

#17 Posted: 5/5/2012 9:20:55 PM Don't watch hockey, but my list would be.
1. Browns
2. Cavs
3. Pirates
4. Lions
5. Clippers
The Lions and Clippers have a chance to get off this list in the next decade with the teams they have, but the Browns and Pirates don't seem like they will ever want to be off the list aslong as they make money they don't care if they win, and it's sad because the Browns have some of the most awesome fans there are. |

I'm a Cubs fan and unfortunately slikstiks99 speaks the truth. HOW the HELL a franchise that makes SO much money can't field a WINNING TEAM is BEYOND ME  |
