I can't believe the Indiana Pacers are in there somewhere! Since joining the NBA from the old ABA, they had good season under Reggie Miller. Since Uncle Reggie retired, Bird and company have managed to produce some really mediocre teams. If any NBA team is on par with the Bobcats, it would be the Pacers. :(

This 'list' is an invention of a dork trying to make a name for himself based on dubious criteria. Most of the teams he mentioned, especially among the NFL, have had significant periods of 'glory' and accomplishment in their pasts. That they're not having a good year THIS SEASON doesn't make them among the "most disappointing" franchises.

The AZ Cardinals have finally found some success in the 2 seasons prior to this one. They had absolutely the worst ownership in all of team sports, with the possibile exception of the LA Clippers in the NBA. The Yankees were among the very worst of teams in the late 60s, and they didn't have much success in the 1980s either. The Celtics have had great runs followed by horrid ones, as have the Cowboys, the Raiders, and a host of others. The Steelers were the joke of the NFL until Noll got there, the 49ers never did much of anything pre-Montana, and the Patriots had as many bad seasons as good ones until Bellichek (and Brady) got there. Need I mention the Aints?

I say again, this guy is a dork..

Next?

Can we have an autolock on a thread whenever bleacher report shows up in a link? I haven't voted in the new huddle mod thread yet, but if this feature is promised by a candidate, they have my vote.

LOL the writer of the article is female journalism student from Ohio State. Her favorite athletes she lists as Kevin Garrnet, Steve Mason, and Rick Nash.

... who wears a red sweater vest and lists Dirk Diggler among her favorite actors, thinks Terrelle Pryor is a stand up comedian and thinks a "walk-on" is someone who lives off-campus.

Yea its pretty horrible a list "Consistently one of the worst" statistically we're in the upper half of the league typically...play offs, super bowl appearance...this year we might be trash but not consistently

Not to mention we are the 12th most valuable franchise in the NFL as listed by Forbes.

Not bad for a newby franchise.

Suck it Bleacher Report

      Houston Texans... You Suck!!!

      By LinvilleGorge · Posted

      Agents have been out-negotiating GMs for years. That's why they had to implement the rookie wage scale. Top drafted rookies were basically starting to walk into the NFL as some of the highest paid guys in the league. Take it up in the next CBA. In the meantime, it is what it is. Agents hold the upper hand in these rookie negotiations and they know it. The teams already have a significant unrecoverable investment spent on these draftees in the value of the pick that they spent. Given the rookie wage scale there's not much to negotiate other than guarantees and offset language and once again the agents are kicking the GMs' asses again.

      Except it's not about the money, it's precedent and teams not wanting to go down that path.  Once you guarantee all the 2nd rounders, then the 3rd rounders will want it, and so on.  If they keep viewing it as say, "well it's only X amount of money" then it's a slippery slope that doesn't end. Then you get Free Agents saying, "well if you're fully guaranteeing the contract of an unproven 57th pick of the draft, you clearly should be fully guaranteeing mine as your big FA signing this offseason" The NFL doesn't work with fully guaranteed contracts under it's current cap model.  If you want to give them out to the true elite of the elite players at impact positions like QB and Edge, then so be it, but there needs to be a line in the sand or it will get real messy.

      I really don't think it's that debatable. New England had some argument but our roster was far worse, IMO.
