    Well, the Browns have never been good in my lifetime so it might as well have been in the 1700s when they were winning

        I'm always surprised the Cardinals are never in the discussion for worst team, it's always the Lions or Browns. Sure, the Cardinals have made one Super Bowl, but they didn't win it, and their last title came in 1947, which actually puts them as the holder of the longest drought in the 4 major sports.

        They've been around almost 120 years, have played in three different cities, have just two championships, one of which shouldn't even count (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/1925...ip_controversy), and are the losingest team in NFL history.

          I guess we all can come up with our own formula for what makes one franchise better than another, but personally it's hard for me to rank a franchise with an actual title behind one that's never won one. It's why you play the game.
          That community is already in the process of dissolution where each man begins to eye his neighbor as a possible enemy, where non-conformity with the accepted creed, political as well as religious, is a mark of disaffection; where denunciation, without specification or backing, takes the place of evidence; where orthodoxy chokes freedom of dissent; where faith in the eventual supremacy of reason has become so timid that we dare not enter our convictions in the open lists, to win or lose.

            To me this probably deserves the most weight for selecting the worst team especially with a sample size that large, you have a good point.

                I agree somewhat, and was talking more about the automatic Browns response rather than the Bengals ranking. For the last decade the Cardinals have been a decent franchise, but before that was a century of nothing. At least the Browns and Lions could claim dynasties at some point in their existence.

                They're losingest by total losses, but the second worst by winning percentage. Bucs have the worst all time winning percentage, though the 50-70 year head start by the Cardinals causes me to default to them.

                    at the time that caused the largest twitter explosion in history. servers were down and espn was actually doing a sports story on this instead of a planned feature on a woman getting opportunities to play on the mens diving team at harvard.

                          116. Tampa Bay Rays

                          a.k.a. Tampa Bay Devil Rays

                          Why?...Although they dropped the ‘Devil’ their performance is still hellish on their fans.

                          The Good....One Pennant in 2008….

                          The Bad....after ten seasons of last place play

                          The Ugly....Have you seen where they play? Is that actually a place where people play baseball?

                          Where they play? Tropicana Field, a building made up of old orange juice containers.

                          Owner: Stuart Sternberg, a Wall Street Investor. He keeps quiet except when asking for the early bird specials at 4pm Monday thru Friday. Sternberg is actually a Mets fan, which is punishment enough for anybody.

                          Manager: Kevin Cash, a journeyman catcher in the 2000s, just finished his third year of managing the Rays.

                          Top Current Players: Evan Longoria had a very successful career on TV’s ‘Desparate Housewives’

                          Hall of Famer...Wade Boggs, Chicken enthusiast who always had a strong batting average, but had more of a career with the New York Yankees.
                          Nobody ever went broke underestimating the intelligence of the American people.
