1. No complaints from where I sit.

3. Well,

we don't have to turn back the clock too far...

2. The White Sox seem too high

They were champs 13 years ago. There are 24 teams in MLB. So how they can be the sixth most miserable in all of sports is puzzling. My Oakland A’s, by comparison, haven’t won a World Series since 1989, have won only one playoff series since 1990, and they’re listed at 38th.

4. Idk how the Dallas Stars aren't on there

10 years of mediocre management, terrible drafting, awful signings, coaching changes every other year, constant spare parts playing top line minutes. Being a fan is certainly a depressing thing and has been for a while now.

5. Not to mention

that Jamie Benn and Tyler Seguin are doggin' it, according to Jim Lites!

6. He wasn't wrong

I hate Lites. But Benn isn't as good as he once was.

11. Better hope they pick it up

because they're both under contract under 2024-25!

7. The Browns are about to change all that

8. Buffalo?

They are the only NFL team ever to play in 4 straight Super Bowls. They lost them all but still...

[True Dough]

9. You're a fan who's content with second place?

A silver-lining type of individual?

10. Had to click the link because I didn't see the Seattle Mariners

The article has them at #14

12. I thought it meant miserable in that the fans are horrible people

and I was like, "What, Eagles aren't #1?"

And, as a 52-year-old life-long Vikings fan, I think they have them WAY too low on that list now that I understand it. It is a yearly let down cheering for the Vikings.
