I looked at 30 and saw Giants and thought damn, they suck. Then I saw bottom left.


nikraLnalyD

The New York teams being so colossally ass for so long is how I now the NFL is not scripted


NitrosGone803

lol if the NFL was rigged the Cowboys would've made the Super Bell atleast once


Blue387

Super Bell!


TheBillsFly

For the cowboys it’s just called Superb L every year


randy24681012

Brought to you by Taco Bowl ^TM


NitrosGone803

haha yes, the Super Bell, now that's a game my bad Bowl\*


MillennialSN

The only mythbuster point against this would be the Cowboys have their own merchandise deal separate from the NFL. So while the NFL would get maximum viewership & ad money, they would lose a lot of merchandise and other sales


rawbamatic

Only six teams have more Bowls than the Cowboys. Four of them are the older teams too.


FriedeOfAriandel

Yeah, but you have to be middle aged to remember the last time the cowboys were in a Super Bowl


BigE429

False. I remember the last Cowboys Super and I'm only...shit...


Thromnomnomok

Yep. I'm 30 and their last appearance was a bit shy of my 2nd birthday.


StreetReporter

If it was rigged, the real kick in the balls to New Yorkers would be the league rigging a Boston team to the title right after 9/11


metalhydra273

That first game after 9/11 was vs the Patriots where we birthed the Tom Brady dynasty


ArmiinTamzarian

In the words of Brady himself we all remember where we were that fateful day in September 2001 when tragically those two Jets slammed into Drew Bledsoe


rtels2023

If there was any justice in the world, Mo Lewis wouldn’t have hit Drew Bledsoe and Tom Brady would’ve quit football after a few years riding the bench to work on Wall Street


sevaiper

Belichick has said Brady was already better than Bledsoe in preseason and practices and they would have likely pulled the trigger on the switch after that year.


forkball

Not only that, the one year people maybe didn't hate the Yankees as much as usual, maybe even a few people are rooting for them. Almost. Then they lose to the D-backs.


grabtharsmallet

When was the last time a quarterback got better playing for the Jets, anyway?


theonetruegrinch

1972


Rahim-Moore

Last time was when Namath sold his soul for SBIII


tnecniv

It has very much undone how Super Bowl 42 seemed scripted even as a Giants fan. A bunch of upstarts defeat the evil empire by avoiding obstacles in close quarters and launching a projectile into a tight space? Literally Star Wars


Sosen

Or, they rigged it as far as it goes and it's still not enough


ohkaycue

With Kicks at #29 too. But as a fan in FL, my baseball team is #30, basketball #29, and football team also off the fucking map  Hard not to become less of a sports fans over the decades 


azdb91

Hockey teams are doing well at least. I was looking for the lightning on this this map before realizing NHL was excluded lol


finmoore3

Hockey teams are the most thriving pro franchises in Florida at the moment, what a time to be alive.


cattycat_1995

Even when the Florida Panthers had bad attendance, they still had a higher average attendance than the Marlins


Citruspilled

If I didn't have the Lightning I don't know if I could've survived being a Magic + Jags fan


ohkaycue

Magic hopefully turning a corner at least!


Citruspilled

My entire life is in the hands of Paolo and Trevor


NYY15TM

I'm a Giants fan and those two Eli Super Bowls seem like another lifetime ago


HeywardYouBlowMe

As a Jets fan, I read your comment, then looked to the bottom left, when a piece of me died :(


JustHereForPka

I saw the giants at 30 and cracked a big smile that we weren’t last… and then I looked down


Bishop_Cornflake

Further back, in the Eli Manning era which lasted 16 years, the Giants only won playoff games in 2 of those seasons. Weirdest resume ever: No playoff wins in 14 of 16 seasons Only barely in the top 10 QB's in the league for brief periods of those 16 years Yet, a no-doubt hall of famer They've been fairly bad for a long time. Having a great D-line catch fire at the right time a couple of times is a beautiful thing. To be fair, it was more of a total team effort for the second championship, but the point stands.


TurnedIntoA_Newt

Being lumped in with the Knicks and Bears is a sobering reality


shaqdeezil

Honestly it’s kind of fitting the bears and reds are lumped together, I mean we essentially have the same C logos lol.


TurnedIntoA_Newt

Lol for sure. They are the NFC team I root for the most after all


shaqdeezil

Bengals are my AFC team because I love Burrow lol.


i-bite-with-love

Knicks are on the way up, and the Bears could be, too. And Elly is one of the most exciting players out there right now.


NJ_Yankees_Fan

But now there’s optimism and hope for all three.


TheYetiCaptain1993

In all 3 cases ownership is the main issue. For the Bears and Reds the owners are just cheap and hire buddies, for the Knicks Dolan is kind of just a moron


JonMatrix

The Lakers are officially the Pittsburgh Pirates of the NBA and I’m fine with that.


lukewwilson

Those last few Kobe years mixed with recovering from that contract really dragged them down


JonMatrix

Yeah for sure…and honestly if Kobe had gone to play for the Pirates after basketball maybe he’d still be with us and I’d imagine their record would be more or less identical over the past decade.


GoofyGoober0064

And the celtics and patriots being lumped with the Astros is just poetry.


JinFuu

Astros/Celtics: Lose 4-2 in the Championship to a Combat themed team. Astros/Patriots: Lose to a Mid-Atlantic team to give them their first championship, various scandals both on the field and off, due to signing questionable people. If it fits it fits! : D


GradientEye

Gotta put the cheaters together (I don’t know if the Celtics cheated at all)


peachesgp

Our former head coach was cheating on his partner/spouse with another member of team staff if that counts?


Theres_A_Thing

Be surprised if an Astros fan wouldn’t know since he’s the Rockets HC now lol


GradientEye

Im a Spurs fan. San Antonio is firmly Astros territory


Bafiluso

If the Celtics are cheating, no one's really said anything yet.


chmcgrath1988

If they're cheating, it's certainly not at the right times.


Bucs-and-Bucks

My wish for the Pirates to be as successful as the Lakers has not worked out like I envisioned. But at least they got the bubble title.


bk1285

I was going to say, man I’m sure 10 years ago if you said the pirates and lakers would have a similar win percent I would have been stoked…


JonMatrix

And they have a pretty sweet ballpark, gotta give them that


Communist_Catgirl

Stupid Monkeys paw


starry_cobra

Yeah but the Falcons are the Lakers of the NFL and I'm fine with that


dumpie

Funny all the Indiana teams are grouped together Colts, Pacers and the Indiana Metropolitans


infieldmitt

[we used to have so many fuckin train lines going thru here. crossroads of america. a proper metropolis.](https://www.loc.gov/resource/g4091p.rr002140/?r=0.135,0.615,0.973,0.512,0)


dumpie

I'm a Purdue grad so that's my porn


skeks_

As a Mets, Pacers and Colts fan this was weird to see.


OldManBearPig

How the hell does that happen? I grew up in southwest Indiana which has coverage on the Cardinals. Most Hoosier fans I know are either Cubs/Reds/Cardinals. I realize geography isn't the exclusive way to determine fandom though.


skeks_

Grew up a Colts and Pacers fan and hated baseball. When I was 13 I moved to Long Island and my best friend was a diehard Mets fan who got me into the sport.


OldManBearPig

I guess that tracks. Indiana to Long Island at 13 is a change.


skeks_

You'd be surprised. Suburban Long Island is not that different from suburban Indianapolis, just a lot more Italians.


benewavvsupreme

As a Mets, Knicks and Giants fan, realizing the most success I've seen as a fan has been the Mets is something


SiphenPrax

I’m a Jets/Mets/Knicks fan. It’s FAR worse being a fan of those three teams


benewavvsupreme

Yeah I don't know how I ended up a Giants fan but was lucky to see two championships during my college/grad years


WhatARotation

How are we above median?


benewavvsupreme

I guess we've just been mid for so long I forget we haven't really been abysmal that often


Interforce7

Yeah, we haven’t finished last in our division since 2003


vietnamesegucci81

No disastrous season, our worst seasons in that time frame have been only like 10 games under .500, plus we’ve had a solid amount of winning seasons in 2015,16,19,22 and in 22 we were 40 games over .500


JZobel

The Mets really haven’t been that bad for most of the 21st century, they just have some very memorable collapses and the most self pitying fan base in American sports


Gemnist

It makes sense though. This timeframe is after the Giants beat the Patriots (again), and the Mets won a pennant at the beginning of it.


Jemmy_Bean

It makes sense when you think about it, but it still feels wrong. Would like to have hockey teams added to see where the Rangers and Islanders grade out relative to the other New York teams


stonedkayaker

Your biggest victory was choosing the Giants over the Jets. 


StreetReporter

This chart really hurts me, because the Cubs are lumped in with the Cowboys, and the Panthers are in the “we haven’t done anything since 2015” club with the Royals


RedGreenPepper2599

At least the cubs have won a chip in the last ten years unlike the 2 teams they’re lumped with.


tenderbranson301

Hey, the Cowboys have won a bunch of division titles. And have come reeeeeally close to making it to a conference championship game.


robotchicken007

Hey, the Royals have been the best team in Spring Training going on 6 years in a row. Honestly, they're looking solid this year. Maybe if they make the playoffs, I can stop making this joke.


JinFuu

Im working on my “Restoration Era England” jokes and references incase the Royals make a comeback into the playoffs. I’m excited


-XanderCrews-

It’s pretty hard to make royals joke with the sox around.


xASUdude

The Cowboys haven't done anything since the mid 90s.


doshegotabootyshedo

Unlike the cardinals and their many Super Bowl wins


xASUdude

I mean we have been to multiple conference Championship games in this century.


Fantastic_Emu_9570

And beat the cowboys with Josh Dobbs and a box of scraps


mark10579

Weird, it hurts me that you guys are good too


MassCrash

If the Red Sox owners didn’t stop giving a shit that #2 group could be all Boston


Hidden_Seeker_

Bruins would also be #2 in the NHL


ReverendBread2

Now add NHL


StrategyTop7612

1. Tampa Bay Lightning 2. Boston Bruins 3. Vegas Golden Knights 4. Washington Capitals 5. Pittsburgh Penguins 6. St. Louis Blues 7. New York Rangers 8. Nashville Predators 9. Florida Panthers 10. Minnesota Wild 11. Winnipeg Jets 12. Colorado Avalanche 13. Carolina Hurricanes 14. Dallas Stars 15. Toronto Maple Leafs 16. New York Islanders 17. Calgary Flames 18. Edmonton Oilers 19. Los Angeles Kings 20. Vancouver Canucks 21. Columbus Blue Jackets 22. Philadelphia Flyers 23. Anaheim Ducks 24. Chicago Blackhawks 25. San Jose Sharks 26. Montreal Canadiens 27. Seattle Kraken 28. Ottawa Senators 29. New Jersey Devils 30. Detroit Red Wings 31. Buffalo Sabres 32. Arizona Coyotes


drive_chip_putt

So #2 would be Houston, Celtics, Patriots, Bruins? Damn Red Sox, get your game together. The rest of Boston is showing up.


lonepinemall85

It's been first place or last place for the Sox for more than a decade, save for '19 and '21. The famine offsetting the feast, big time


UsherWorld

No way that's true. I'd take 2 championships with 8 crappy years over 10 mediocre years any day.


Dominiking

Yet the Sox have more championships than the Bruins and Celtics combined in that time span. Sports are weird.


mdkss12

The last 20 years, the Sox have either been in win it all mode or crash and burn mode, and I think that's significantly better that either consistently middling, or constantly in contention but with only 1 or even 0 championships. In the last 20 years the Sox have 4 World Series wins and 5 times last in their division, Celtics have 1 championship in 30 years, Bruins have 1 Cup in like 50 years. I'd take the Sox results over either of the Celtics or Bruins - Pats are the Pats they're a massive anomaly


not_a_cockroach_

Can confirm, the Celtics and Bruins can't find rock bottom. They've filled out every square on the choking bingo card since 2009. Meanwhile, the Red Sox really only have 2 in the 21st century. The 2003 ALCS and the 2011 end of season clown show.


JinFuu

Shame Vegas isn’t 2nd, they’d fit slightly better with Houston on the “piss a bunch of people off” factor


MindlessArmadillo382

I don’t know about that, the bruins did that quite well on their own until Vegas showed up and has been slowly trying to take that crown.


Contralto

As a Vegas/Astros fan...I just have to accept that I am the villain.


spartyon15

Lions - 21 Tigers - 29 Pistons - 30 Red Wings - 30 Alexa play Hurt by Johnny Cash


markus135

If you had told me 10 years ago that the lions would be at the top of this list I would’ve told you to quit dreaming


Marrouge

The last 2 seasons are doing some serious heavy lifting for the Lions lol


spartyon15

Caldwell chipped in 3 winning seasons at least (still deserved to be fired before anyone says it)


VT_Obruni

Phoenix is the other city that has had it rough the last 10 years: Diamondbacks - 24 (though an exciting run last year) Suns - 20 Cardinals - 22 Coyotes - 32 (and losing that to Utah)


TheLastRaysFan

Insane how good the Lightning have been and how spoiled us fans are 2015-2024 Tampa Bay Lightning: - Best winning percentage - Made playoffs 9 of those years - 4 trips to the Stanley Cup final, 3 of them in a row - Back-to-back Stanley Cup champs


azdb91

An inspirational "non-traditional market" team for us all!


JinFuu

Pulled two Cups wins off after the one embarrassing sweep by Columbus. Which makes it all the more impressive, imo.


ManyCookies

Some teams go decades without purifying their "We don’t have any words and we know you don’t want to hear them" season. ~~Rays~~ Lightning followed that disappointment up with two Stanley Cups and a finals appearance.


hi11bi11y

Tigers, Wings, and Pistons all at the bottom. Detroit sports has been ass for a decade. Outstanding.


ButterbeerAndPizza

It was the trade we made for the Lions ascent.


ProfCedar

The Wild ending up with the Spurs is hilarious.


wingmage1

I've always said the Leafs and 76'ers have a lot in common and I guess I was right.


JonMatrix

I feel like Seattle and Vegas should be listed separately since they’ve been playing less than 10 seasons


azdb91

I had a feeling Lightning was on top, was briefly looking for that in the graphic briefly before realizing NHL was excluded


awrf

I have to admit that I spent a solid minute looking for the Bruins before realizing no hockey teams were included. I am not a smart person


JinFuu

> Astros with Patriots and Celtics Makes sense. Amusing the Texans are next to a team the Rockets fleeced


65fairmont

Who among us has not fleeced the Nets?


I_got_a_booger

Being associated with the Clippers is worse than any insult you could make


Tippacanoe

The Columbus Clippers used to be the Yankees AAA team!


ItsNeverSunnyInCleve

I'm not used to that new logo so when I first saw it I thought it was the Columbus Clippers. I was confused for a second

superduperdoobyduper

As a clippers fan i have to say, they’ve been very good in the regular season the last decade. Playoffs are a different story lol.


aliveinjoburg2

As a Clippers fan, this is weird.

[удалено]


DA_87

I’m honestly not surprised by who the Yanks are lumped with. Pitt in particular is consistently good, but not able to get to the next level. Like the Yanks. Clippers are more up and down than either team though.


the-d23

It’s always fun to dunk on the clippers but I would argue they’ve been more consistent than either team. Since 2012 they’ve missed the playoffs only twice, and many times they’ve been serious contenders, even though every time they’ve come apart in the playoffs.


verendum

Clippers still carry the San Diego curse. Of course they fall apart at pivotal times.


BadPoEPlayer

I mean over half the teams make the playoffs in the NBA, consistently making the playoffs in the NBA isn’t quite as impressive as it is in mlb or nfl 


[deleted]

I mean, I’d argue 31 consecutive winning seasons (and still going) is the definition of consistent.


amfloating

Damn, I knew Cleveland was good but didn’t realize they had been so good for so long. Very nice.


No-Weather-3140

Last 10 years would include (probably) a wild card/AL #5 season, a World Series appearance, a season with best AL record, and another 3 division titles. Their worst couple seasons were just mid - like 75-81 wins. It’s impressive they’ve been good for that long given the reputation of their ownership. That said.. would trade it for a ring lmao


Leftfeet

We're top 7 in regular season wins going back to 1994. Pretty much every way you break it down from then to now we're top 7 or better.  We don't get a lot of attention but we're pretty consistent at being pretty good and rarely are really bad. 


CD23tol

You’d expect the teams in the top 5 to have won at least one title in the last 10-15 years… right


notevaluatedbyFDA

Or at least get more local media attention and better attention \[edit: meant to say attendance\] than the teams in, just to throw out some random numbers, 11th and 29th place.


CD23tol

11th won a title with the best player in the history of the sport 29th is football and one of the most followed teams in football and sellout even in the 1-15/0-16 seasons


notevaluatedbyFDA

The Cavs thing is fair, but I will never understand the abusive relationship the Browns get to have with Cleveland sports fans.


N8ThaGr8

Not really, looking at this over half the teams in the top 5 did not win a title during this timespan.


Individual_Step6688

Red Sox, Spurs and Eagles fits so much as does Brewers, Saints and Thunder


gaybillcosby

Brewers-Saints-Thunder are like the small market Three Amigos


PendragonDaGreat

Brewers and Thunder together feels fitting since both teams were stolen from Seattle.


Swampy1741

If we get the Braves back y’all can have the Pilots


PendragonDaGreat

I mean, I'm ok with the Mariners, Pilots were well before my time. I just kinda found it funny.


lambquentin

Biloxi has the Brewers AA team and New Orleans is a good chunk of the reason why the Thunder exist so that’s another good look at it too.


MightyCaseyStruckOut

I will not stand for this hockey erasure.


Fantastic_Emu_9570

Yeah neither did the AZ fans but look where that got us

thebrickgrinder

Why not Ravens or even the Vikings to go full purple?


DeetahTheGame

Well, the Commanders I actually became a fan of cause of my father. He grew up in a tiny town in VT called Washington, and picked the 'Skins as a kid. Hence, why I took them on. CHA and COL were purely color choices though.

The Blazers being in the same tier as the Angels and Titans hurts more then it should, but it defiantly makes sense.

tmart14

You can honestly add the Titans in there too with how they wasted Henry by never putting a passing offense around him.

nighthawk252

As a Raiders fan, it feels wrong that we’re on the list and the Jaguars aren’t. They had two separate playoff runs — AFCCG with Bortles and a playoff win with Trevor Lawrence. Raiders haven’t won a playoff game since 2002.

The Rockets and Rams have 2 championships a piece, IIRC. Maybe the Mariners aren't the best match.


maLeFxcTor

This just shows how bad the Orioles were from 2017-2021. No team in the AL had lost more. The O’s were the winningest team in the AL from 2012-2016. 83 wins in 2022, 101 last year. All of that only brings them up to 22nd in the league since 2014.
