It's gotta be Philadelphia.This city has not had a championship from its four major sports teams since the 82-83 76ers.
The Flyers have not won a championship since the 74-75 season
The Eagles have not won a championship since the ealy 1960's.
The Phillies have the worst winning % of any other baseball team in the 20th century (not including the expansion teams of the 1990's) They have one series winning team have been there only 5 times since 1883.
Besides I think that's where Dale is from.
Then there's Cleveland...

Damn, you guys had A-rod, Griffey, Martinez and Johnson playing there. Ouch.

I say Seattle b/c as a Seahawks fan for 20 years, it occurred to me that they are the NFL team that has accomplished the least.
Bengals? been to 2 superbowls
Bucs? They were our equal but then they won a SB!
Saints? OK, maybe the Saints!

Philadelphia...and I love it. Funny thing is, they bring it on themselves. I cannot think of a single professional sport organization in this city that is run well. From Bob Clarke of the Flyers, to the inflexibility of the Eagles organization.
But I am not from here, of that I can assure you.

Flyers Made it to the Stanley Cup finals in '97'
Only to be swept by Stevie Y and the boys from Motown

I wouldn't say Philly........they at least have teams that do very well year after year (Eagles in 4 straight NFC Championships....Sixers in the finals etc.)
There are def some cities that have been WAY worse off than that...

Pepper is totally right folks, Cmon now.. The Seahawks have had zero success and has never seen a Super Bowl, don't even get me started........... The Mariners have NEVER seen a world series, and haven't even been all that close (in 95' in lost to cleveland in ALCS big), the Sonics, being the cities only championship team, haven't seen a title since 78-79 and were a miserable team in all of the 80's. They had great teams in the 90's but unfortunately had to play the best team ever in the Bulls in the '96 finals...
