so the Blackhawks and Kings have won the Stanley Cup. And the Red Sox curse is over.
Who do you see as the next team to break a drought of over 40 years? Place your choice below.
Been 40+ years: Milwaukee Bucks, Milwaukee Brewers, Vancouver Cannucks, Buffalo Sabres, KC Chiefs, Toronto Maple Leafs, Stl. Blues, NY Jets, Cinc. Bengals, Phoenix Suns, Atl. Falcons, Buffalo Bills, Cleveland Browns*, LA/SD Chargers
Been 50+ years: Astros, Oilers/Titans, Texas Rangers, Vikings, Eagles, Stl/Atl Hawks, Detroit Lions
Been 60+ years: KC/Sacramento Kings, Cleveland Indians, Phoenix Cardinals
Been 100+ years: don't bother. they won't win before you die. I don't care if you plan to live another 70 years.
* = Browns fans claim no part of the Ravens apparently.
An obvious one is the Texas Rangers. They could do it this year. The Cannucks were a #1 seed this year. So I assume they'll be good next year. Those seem like the 2 best picks to me.
Looking at the rest it's hard to see any of them with a good chance. But I'll go with the Buffalo Bills. Football appears to have the best chance for a lucky season.
Doc, my tooth hurts
I'll do sport by sport
MLB: Texas-since they were about 1 foot away last year and are off to a good start this year.
I think the Cubs are on the right track with new ownership and a new GM. Most people blame it on a "curse" which is stupid. It was ownership not wanting to spend money and bad bad decisions. I mean luck DOES have some part in it, but mostly just bad decisions. The Cubs will win a world series before the brewers or indians.
NFL: Eagles. I think they have what it takes to do it THIS year also. It's so tough to predict the NFL year to year. I could see any team listed winning in the next 10 years.
NBA:Kings, Bucks, Hawks I could see never winning a championship in my lifetime in their current cities and current owners. The Suns are a maybe.
NHL: Vancouver is obvious.
So I guess the eagles are most likely to end their drought this year.
Lazy idiot
You're right we don't.
Tick tock
Expos/Nats
Come all you no-hopers, you jokers and roguesWe're on the road to nowhere, let's find out where it goes
I missed that one.
A good choice. That team is good now and could be scary good for the next 5+ years.
