these are the records you don’t want to
break welcome to watchmojo.com and today
we’ll be counting down our picks for the
top 10 painful losing streaks in sports
for this list we’ve excluded college
teams and have decided to focus not
necessarily on the longest losing
streaks but on the ones we deemed the
most heartbreaking like I said I’m not
worried about the Sacramento Queens
write it down take a picture Senate Oh
number 10 the Sacramento Kings no
Championships or Finals appearances
since 1951 7 on the clock Bank of 15 is
good oh that’s terrible basketball as
the Rochester Royals this NBA franchise
brought home the championship in 1951
they immediately capitalized on that
success by never went any again people
been so great to us I mean you know I
feel like you really let them down worse
yet they haven’t even returned to the
finals since 51 and don’t have much luck
in the playoffs either this isn’t even
the worst championship drought ever but
it’s certainly not helping the team win
fans as it keeps switching cities
hosting the Kings on Friday and the for
for Kings number 9 the Cleveland Browns
24 quarters without a touchdown all told
2008 wasn’t a great season for Cleveland
the franchise started out with high
hopes of topping the division but it
wasn’t meant to be they dropped their
last six games including shutouts in the
final two
that included 24 consecutive quarters
without a TD if you can handle even
basic math you know that six games where
the Browns offense failed to find the
endzone it’s not good of course we’ve
got to find a way to put some points on
the board number eight
Vince pedia 21 consecutive losses he’s
competed at the Olympics and won against
the game’s biggest names Spade EA was
even in the top 20 in 1999 when he
started the record long 21 game losing
streak that dropped him to 200 and
37th in the rankings and earned him the
nickname the Charlie Brown of tennis but
don’t worry
by 2005 he clawed his way back to 18th
in one of the greatest tennis comebacks
ever number 7 Detroit Lions oh and 16
season it started so well after a 4 no
preseason Detroit was ready to celebrate
their 75th year as the Lions and the
team did make history the 2008 Lions
were the first club ever to go oh and 16
in regular season play and the way would
get gay worse
giving them the dubious honor of being
the worst team in NFL history coaches
and management were promptly fired but
Detroit has still never qualified for
the Super Bowl where or in 16 we’ve lost
23 out of 24 games you know that a lot
needs to be changed number 6 the
Pittsburgh Pirates no winning season
since 1992 you can pinpoint the last
time the Pirates were good 1992 was
their most recent winning season though
they came close in 97 and that
decades-long drought is a record in all
North American professional sports since
their state mates the Philadelphia
Phillies we’re the first professional
sports team to reach 10,000 losses what
kind of convinced the two franchises are
locked in a rivalry as to who sucks
worse to out and over bay first pitch
swinging pops it up Justin Turner
settles under it and the ball game is
over
number five the Winnipeg Jets winless
for 30 consecutive games
the Jets probably thought their mediocre
debut NHL season was bad enough but
things did in fact get worse their
second year when a pig went winless for
30 straight games banking 23 losses and
7 ties over that period and setting a
league wide record dumping coaches
didn’t stop them from ending the 8081
season dead last with a 9 57 and 14
record but fear not they finished second
in their division the next year number 4
the Tampa Bay Buccaneers franchise began
oh and 20
six number-one way to not gain fans as a
new NFL franchise win no games number to
score no touchdowns after becoming an
expansion team in 1976 the Bucs did just
that these guys are almost got many ones
and are fatter brainless going almost
two full seasons without a win and
setting a record for consecutive losses
in all North American professional
sports they also only scored their first
touchdown in week four but somehow
managed to keep their sense of humor
well we didn’t block so we made up for
it by not tactic number three Cleveland
Cavaliers 26 straight losses
Clevelanders had another reason to
loathe lebron during the 2010-11 NBA
season the Cavs limped along following
James summertime moved to Miami but
things got really terrible when they
started a 26 game skid breaking the
league’s previous record of 24
consecutive losses also set by Cleveland
and tying the record for all North
American professional sports you know
we’re in the history books you know
whether we like it or not
they finished the year at dismal 19 and
63 and needless to say did not make the
playoffs did the Cavs win last night
dot-com
stroke of the enter key and Oh we’ll
check back on Friday number 2 JD
McDuffie 653 races without a win there’s
trouble the backstretch it is Oh JD
McDuffy
the field will split him in the middle
that straight away column an independent
or an underdog but either way McDuffie
was a fan fave
with an impressive career spanning three
decades despite the 106 top-ten finishes
in his Cup Series career
JD also holds the nascar top Touring
Series record for most last place
finishes even worse he was unable to
post a win in 653 races before being
killed in a crash in 1991 number one the
chicago cubs no championship since 1908
you got a hand at the Cubs fans they are
loyal as hell following an impressive
1906 season chicago won two back-to-back
World Series the lovable losers haven’t
won since sure as God made green apples
someday the Chicago Cubs are going to be
in the World Series who knows whether
it’s the curse of the Billy Goat the
Steve Bartman incident or something more
but this drought is longer than any
other in North American sports history
however there’s still time for this
prophecy to come true Cubs win World
Series
I guess Miami yeah something up who
would have thought hundred to one shot
do you agree with our list
there are obviously tons of moments of
futility in the sports world but which
do you think are the most embarrassing
pretty good throw by Doug Lee but very
similar to how he shoots free throws we
found somebody’s shoes free throws worse
than Shaq in this game for more top 10s
