The Gipper Posted June 18, 2010 Author Report Share Posted June 18, 2010 Title this portion of the thread "most frustrated" franchises. Here is the list of the major league teams that have gone the longest without winning a title be that since they last won or since the date of the origin of the franshise. In this case I will only list those which have not won in the last 40 years. Note here that two teams got themselves off this list by winning in the last year: the Saints and the Blackhawks: 1908 Chicago Cubs MLB 1947 Arizona Cardinals NFL (won while in Chicago) 1948 Cleveland Indians MLB 1951 Sacramento Kings NBA (won as the "Rochester Royals) 1954 San Francisco Giants MLB (won while in New York) 1957 Detroit Lions NFL 1958 Atlanta Hawks NBA (won while in St. Louis) 1960 Philadelphia Eagle NFL 1961 Texas Rangers no titles, Year of Origin as Washington Senators 1961 Minnesota Vikings no titles, Year of Origin 1961 Tennessee Titans AFL (won as Houston Oilers) 1962 Houston Astros no titles, Year of Origin as "Colt 45s" 1963 San Diego Chargers AFL 1964 Cleveland Browns NFL 1965 Buffalo Bills AFL 1966 Atlanta Falcons no titles, Year of Origin 1967 Toronto Maple Leafs NHL 1967 Los Angeles Kings no titles, Year of Origin 1967 St. Louis Blues no titles, Year of Origin 1967 Denver Nuggets no titles, Year of Origin 1968 New York Jets NFL 1968 Cincinnati Bengals no titles, Year of Origin 1968 Phoenix Suns no titles, Year of Origin 1969 Kansas City Chiefs NFL 1969 San Diego Padres, no titles, Year of Origin 1969 Milwaukee Brewers no titles, Year of Origin (as Seattle Pilots) 1969 Washington Nationals no titles, Year of Origin (as Montreal Expos) 1970 Cleveland Cavaliers no titles, Year of Origin 1970 LA Clippers no titles, Year of Origin (as Buffalo Braves) 1970 Vancouver Canucks no titles, Year of Origin 1970 Buffalo Sabres no titles, Year of Origin If you want to know about any other team let me know.

Think about how close some of these teams have come to not being on this list: The Arizona Cardinals lose in the last few seconds of the Super Bowl The Indians take a lead into the bottom of the 9th of the 7th game of the WS The SF Giants take a recent WS to the 7th game The Tennessee Titans/Oilers are stopped "one yard short" in the last play of a SB The Buffalo Bills lose 4 SBs in a row, especially the one that Scott Norwood misses the FG on the last play The Bengals are defeated on a last minute drive by Joe Montana in a SB There may be other stories like the above.

The Gipper Posted June 23, 2010 Author Report Share Posted June 23, 2010 nice thread.............what team last won the Super Bowl with a shutout? part two what is the average winning score of the Super Bowl? The last "Super Bowl" in which there has been a shutout was in 1964 when the Browns shut out the Colts 27-0. What? Some people want to say that wasn't a "Super Bowl"? Well, it is if I want to say it is. The term "Super Bowl" is just a made up name for the NFL Championship game after all. I only extrapolated the fallacy a little. Average winning score of title games since 1966? Just a guess: 27-13. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Browns Posted June 23, 2010 Report Share Posted June 23, 2010 The average score of the super bowl is 31-14. My calculations could be off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
