Best and worst sports moments for cities

So we all ripped the Dolphins for tanking in 2019, selling off all their assets, etc. But it seems like the plan is paying off. They finished 10-6 this season, just missed out on a playoff berth, and now they'll have the No. 3 pick in the draft because of the Laremy Tunsil trade last year. That's in addition to their own pick at No. 17.

 

Also, was Robinson the manager for all 21? I thought Cal Sr. started the year but got fired eight or nine games in.

 

Cal Sr for 7. Frank for 14.

 

For Kansas City, Jovan Belcher killing his girlfriend, Kasandra Perkins, then killing himself in front of Chiefs coaches and officials has to be the worst moment.

St. Louis, all-death division: Kile and Buck dying in the same week. Oscar Taveras killing his girlfriend and himself driving drunk in the DR. Josh Hancock killing himself driving drunk gets a dishonorable mention.

 

For New Orleans, the easy answer for best moment is Steve Gleason's blocked punt against the Falcons in 2006. Even more than the Super Bowl win, that was one of those rare moments when sports truly is a lot more than just a game. An unspeakably cathartic moment for an entire city. There's a reason why there's a statue of it outside the Superdome and a career special teams player is one of the most beloved athletes in the city's history.

Worst moment was everything in the 13 months preceding that.
