    Pretty sure Stephen Curry could beat them 1-on-5.

      105. Atlanta Falcons

      Why?...28-3…smh

      The Good….Two NFC Championships…had Deion Sanders in his prime

      The Bad....Where to begin, 1 playoff win in the first 25 seasons of the franchise. It took till 2009 for the Falcons to complete two consecutive winning seasons.

      The Ugly...They drafted Brett Favre, then proceded to trade him to Green Bay for a draft pick a year later.

      Where they play? Mercedes-Benz Stadium, often compared to Megatron’s anus. I do find that they only played in the Georgia Dome for 25 years before building a new stadium.

      Owner: Arthur Blank: Founder of The Home Depot, famous for looking like a Vaudeville Bad Guy

      Coach: Dan Quinn, a formidable Defensive Coach, this is first head coaching job.

      Top Current Players: Julio Jones, Matt Ryan, Tevin Coleman, Devanta Freeman

      Hall of Famers…Deion Sanders, Claude Humphrey,

        Wow. I... did not know that.

        I always think of the Falcons as the prototypical 8-8 team. Never dominant but never to be taken lightly. That has felt true since the 70s and Steve Bartkowski.

        They're the NFC Houston Oilers.

          104. Arizona Coyotes

          a.k.a as Phoenix Coyotes, Winnipeg Jets
          Why?...a team that in theory should’ve stayed in Winnipeg in the first place, currently on NHL welfare.

          The Good….Did make the Western Conference Finals once in 2012. Famous for its “white outs” during their Winnipeg days, the tradition continues on the occasional Coyote playoff game.

          The Bad....Just one appearance to the Conference Finals since 1980?

          The Ugly...The NHL hasn’t admitted that hockey in Phoenix is a failure, the team isn’t terrible just lackluster. This year’s team is terrible though.

          Where they play? Gila River Arena, which I guess is part of the Native American Casino racket?

          Owner: Andrew Barroway, a hedge fund manager, who is not making any money with this team.

          Coach: Rick Tocchet, a former bruiser and scorer who played on several teams. Convicted degenerate gambler.

          Top Current Players: Clayton Keller and Max Domi

          Hall of Famers…Mike Gartner and Brett Hull had cups of coffee here.

            You forgot the one notable thing about this franchise. They have the only attractive sports logo designed since 1980.

              That is a group of Native American casinos that bought the naming rights. Prior to that, it was Jobing.com Arena, which is maybe the worst name sponsorship ever.

              Nobody goes to Coyotes games because getting to Glendale is a tremendous pain. A little over a year ago, the Coyotes tried to buy some land in Tempe for a new arena(and would have brought Arizona State along with them), but it was Native American-owned and apparently they had to negotiate acre-by-acre with each individual member of the tribe that owned the land, and they needed to get everyone to agree to selling. They tried bluffing by saying they were going with another option, and both ended up falling through. Though, even if they had gotten the land, they wouldn't have had a way to pay for the arena anyway.

                And I thought the Islanders arena situation was a PITA.

                    My wife collects camels (seriously ... and not the live kind...). This is by far her favorite sports logo.

                    And of course, her favorite college hockey team is Connecticut College (but they don't have as interesting a logo as Campbell University).

                      Campbell is brilliant. I had never seen it before. Don't care for any of the others except the first Timberwolves which, granted, is lovely.
