    Well, it has good reason to be. Just be thankful the Cavs aren't on that list.

    Would love to see the Blackhawks hoist a Cup, but I got another dozen years before they even come close.

    In the meantime, I think A-Rod has the best shot at leaving that list the soonest. Of course, the Cubs are a lock to come off the list in '08 (For the record, I'm a Cardinals fan.).

    If the Cubs ever do win it all, there wouldn't be a better time than 2008--"celebrating" the centennial of their previous championship, giving writers the 'every hundred years the Cubs win a title' line, and giving Cubs fans the warm feeling that their descendants 4 generations from now would be able to celebrate another championship in 2108.

    And the Cardinals really don't belong on this list. You have to be good to choke; you have to be in position to win something, some time, to cough it up. That isn't the case for this hapless franchise. Screw you, Bidwill.

    Tiger Woods pulls a Boots? :D

    The Jets are on the list because they haven't won a Super Bowl in 38 years. It has nothing to do with Mangini or any of the players on the team.

    Roy Williams is on the list because he's a douche, and it's fun to watch him lose. Let's see him win after he's laid the groundwork, instead of Matt Doherty recruiting a brilliant class and then getting the bum's rush.

    Kansas is on the list because I wanted to annoy Oz. :D :D Plus, between Roy always pissing it away and the last two Marches under Bill Self, Jayhawks fans have suffered plenty even though they won it all 19 years ago.

    Mostly, this thread is a way to poke fun at myself for saying Peyton and Dungy were frauds and chokers. Except in A-Rod's case. Then it's to call him a fraud and a choker.

    It takes a lot more than that to annoy me, I'm too laid back for that. Now if you were to say that Gore is better than Tomlinson ... ;D
