I've been staring at his ugly mug since the 1st. Not sure what to do about it. Can't really put it away for a whole month.
^ Enough about the name-calling of my favorite NBA team: How about address the topic at hand? I kid. EDIT: Never mind, I get it now... I thought it was a different player... but... dang calendar... good one. Exactly. The Sonics hadn't been exactly stellar, and the Mariners I don't remember ever winning anything... they don't have an MLS team, either.
Jordan over Ehlo should be around '87. Still surprised those are the only ones. MJ and HOU own all. Seattle was up there before the Seahawks won... -one major championship -Sonics B2B 1st Round flops against 8 seeds -Sonics relocating -Mariners had the best record, then flopped in the 1st round Cleveland has it real bad. The fact the Ravens (original Browns) have balled ever since leaving only adds fuel to the fire. Sorry about that, man.
If by a few more tweaks, you mean replace every player on the roster except for that midget that plays second base, then I would agree.
It depends on how you define "cursed". I always see references to Cleveland, but I see being "cursed" as a separate issue from simply sucking. Sure, Cleveland has had a couple of near misses (Elway's drive, Indians/Marlins), but by and large, the reason they haven't won titles is because they just have bad owners and bad franchises. When I think cursed, I think bad luck. That is, franchises that do a lot right yet still somehow have it all go wrong at the worst possible moment. Snatching defeat from the jaws of certain victory. In other words, this year. Les is a good owner and this is a very good team, and between the officials, Aldridge playing the series of his life and Lillard's 0.9 miracle, this would fit the criteria. I don't know if Houston is the worst, but in terms of those epic what if? moments, I think we're right up there.
Yeah, they're about on par. They do have an NBA title in the 70s. Seattle has a little less history though in terms of their teams' existence (the big 3 sports). It's also a smaller market.
