Definitely the Florida Panthers, especially after that Humiliating Loss against Vegas, and after finally getting a second chance 23 years later, only to CHOKE Badly.
@@mariocastrojim6299No not really. Other teams on this list try to win a championship. Leonsis and Pollin half ass their way to the playoffs to try to make a quick buck.
@@hiroshi1046 I went to my first Mariners game at Safeco way back when with my older brother. He made sure to show me the giant metal wall art we have of The Double, the look of pride he had for that single, beautiful moment immediately pushed me into becoming a lifelong fan. I think I kind of understand how he felt that day when I watched Cal end our drought last year. It's such an ugly battlefield that Mariners fans deal with that the brief respites we're given when things actually go good are that much more beautiful
I feel like the Lions also have the distinction of being on the losing end of an unbelievable amount of bad calls from officials. Several of which have outright lost them the game or a chance in the playoffs altogether.
Don't worry The packers made sure to CURSE your OTHER 2 rivals That way you're never alone It is FUN being responsible for the baseball n basketball curses too as the brewers n bucks ALSO took after big brother GREEN BAY and implemented their lording over cursed teams themselves
Facts😂 it’s hard being a Lions fan at times. But, this year feels like it could genuinely be one of our better years. Like, I’m the most confident in this Lions team than any team throughout it’s history. Honestly, Goff and the defense might be the only question marks for this team. However, the defense is young and will get better, and Goff has been solid, but needs to polish his game a little more.
At LEAST you got 4 chances at it & I loved those Vikings teams ! You had your chances VRS the Falcons & Saints , also took at the Saints in a year or 2 ? BUT , that is 1 of the weakest NFC DIV"S you play in , too ? NOW , come TRY my teams road to there ONLY [ 1 ] Super Bowl chance VRS the best 49ers team [ EVER ] & play the Chiefs 2 x EVERY year & let ME know , if your teams has NOT had better chances , then my Chargers have had or at this time ? Your DIV"S should be yours again this year , if you handle the Loins ? But , they have a better reason to be pis@ed then your fan base has OR mine ? But , they [ Loins ] do have at least a couple of NFL titles & neither of our teams have even 1 .
I hate them at the end of the season but when football comes back round I'm back in purple and yellow. The last taste of victory we got was most of the teammates from the miracle on ice were from Minnesota.
Fun fact about the Brewers, every team that had faced them in the playoffs eventually went on to go to the World Series. They are literally the doormat of playoff baseball contention😢
The Brewers have been cursed since October 19, 1982, the night they went into Game 6 of the World Series up 3-2 only to be curb-stomped 13-1 in St. Louis.
@@ucf2015 Losing one team is painful. But having all three of your teams depart within a decade? That's excruciating, and no sports city should ever go through such anguish. My heart goes out to everyone in Oakland, California.
As a Leaf fan, it was painful to have all this shown to me again. You could also mention in the late 90's Gretzky was a free agent and wanted to come to Toronto. He would have taken less. The owner at the time Steve Stavro (a friend of Ballard) said since Maple Leaf Gardens was packed every game, they didn't need Gretzky to sell more tickets. With owners after Ballard making stupid calls based mainly on maintaining a bottom line, it is painful being a Leaf fan
Being a Padres fan has been nothing but constant pain. Especially this season where we had hope into finally winning a World Series and then the offense forgets how to hit a ball
As a fellow San Diego sports fan we've become the punching bag when were close to a championship and always face the super dominant teams Super Bowl 29 XXIX lose 26-49 AFC 2007-08 Losing to the 16-0 Patriots who lost in the Suber Bowl that year 1998 World Series: Getting smacked 4-0 by arguably the best Yankee's team ever And just recently 2023 March Madness loseing to Connecticut 76-59 We definitely have the title for the most cursed city in American and dosen't seem likes its ending any time soon.
@@OshiZlebaseball The 1979 Chargers were the best team in the NFL that year. During the regular season, they throttled both Pittsburgh and LA Rams (the Superbowl teams). Yet they lost in the divisional round to a Houston Oilers team riddled with injuries.
The Angels have had the same season since like 2017: start off hot in April as one of the best teams in the AL, fall off by June, get basically eliminated in early September, then get hot too late, win like 75 games, and then have Trout or Ohtani be an MVP finalist
As a Brewers fan, pain and choking is in our DNA. 1982- Lose World Series to the Cardinals 1987- Win first 13 games in a row and 20 out of their first 23, only to finish 91-71, 7 spots out of a playoff spot Jobber team in the 90s Made one playoff appearance between 1982 and 2011 (2008 NLDS, Phillies won the World Series) Lost 2011 NLCS to a Cardinals team who rallied back in the last month of the season (That team won the World Series) Missed playoffs in 2014 after leading the division all season until the final month Lost NLCS in 7 to the Dodgers after clinching the top seed in the NL Choking away NL Wild Card to the Nationals in 2019 (That team won the World Series) Doormat for the 2020 Dodgers (Who won the World Series) Lost in 4 games to the Atlanta Braves in the NLDS in 2021 (Like I need to say that phrase again) Missed out on the playoffs by a game in 2022 (Phillies made the World Series) The Brewers are a team either choke in epic fashion or fall short against teams who made the World Series or in most instances, won the World Series.
For nearly 53 seasons, the Brew Crew has constantly have had streaks of quintessential bad luck at the absolute wrong times of the season. It was awesome seeing the Packers win the Super Bowl twice and the Bucks finally winning it all several seasons ago, yet I've always wished for the Crew to reach the pinnacle. Shame I've wasted my tears on this!
Milwaukee are the American version of the Brisbane Bandits who miss the playoffs or dilberately lose in them every time. I am a Canberra Cavalry fan and we are just as terrible bar 2013.
I agree as a longtime Brewers Fan having to see the team lose time and time again with only the one world series appearance that I was not alive to see.
That's what you get for stealing the Pilots away from Seattle! Oklahoma (Thunder) is in the same boat. They stole the Sonics and are gonna be cursed for a long time.
I'm surprised you didn't mention the Mariners, who are the only MLB team to never even make it to the World Series. They had an abundance of talent in the 90s/early 2000s and fell short every time, mostly to those damn Yankees. Also as a Sharks fan who started following the team (and hockey in general) in 2019, life has been pretty rough 😔
The Diamondbacks won the WS in 2001, defeating the Yankees. The Bombers were tying to win their 4th straight title. Other than that, you guys are correct.
@@seek790222 Yeah, but that was well over 2 decades ago and since then the Diamondbacks have not come close to making it back to the World Series. One Hit Wonder franchise. case closed.
What's also not taken into account here is the added pain of watching other teams in your city winning titles. Nothing like being a Jet fan and watching the Giants win four SBs, including two with New England, then the rest of the time basically go into hibernation. Or being a Met fan and losing straight up to the Yankees. Even the Islanders (four) and Devils (three) have won multiple Cups to the Rangers' one, and as much as I hate to admit it, the Islanders' nineteen straight playoff series wins will likely never be broken. At least there is "misery loves company" in other places that perennially lose with everyone on the same page.
@@bernardoconnor1502 I'll be honest I'm happier with the 108 win 86 Mets winning a series they shouldn't have then the Mets having a few more cinderella seasons. Dominant Championships count a little more in my book. Case in point the Bears and their various musicals about 1985.
I feel like had it not been for us finally ending the legacy of failure in the 2023 NBA Finals, The Nuggets would've definitely been a perfect fit for this video Up until this year we had the most playoff appearances of any team in the league that didn't make the finals and we had to wait 47 years to even make it to the big dance and before that we've had plenty of heartbreak where to begin? -becoming the first team to lose a playoff series to the Clippers since they've moved to LA -losing out on drafting Lebron James -Blew a lead in Game 6 of the 1986 Conference Semifinals against Houston that could've forced a game 7 -Losing to Minnesota to miss the playoffs in game 82 of the 2017-2018 season ending their drought -blowing a lead to lose Game 7 against the Trailblazers in the 2018-2019 conference semifinals -constant injuries ruining our chances to make a deep run in 2021 and 2022 -the constant loses to the Lakers in the playoffs until this year with 3 of them coming in our 5 WCF appearances -Basically wasted the talents of Alex English, Dikembe Mutombo, Carmelo Anthony, etc Thank god for Nikola Jokic managing to finally bring a championship to this city after all these years
You could absolutely have thrown in the San Diego/Los Angeles Chargers into the NFL debate as a 4th option. How can a team compete in such big appealing markets and have so much good talent go through town and still not have much to show for it??
Especially during the late 70s early 80s where they made 2 afc championship appearances and lost. Then never making the playoffs until 1992 and getting blown out by the 49ers in the Super Bowl in 1994.
@@monkeyclapper69 don't forget the LT years and how they managed to have the best offense and defense in the League but missed the playoffs because of their special teams
@@randomperson2499 luckily I was very young and wasn’t into football during those years. I can barely handle the chargers now with how bad the front office is
Honestly, without the Twins two rings, you could say we have the worst luck of any damn state. In fact, if you made a video on Minnesota sports misery, it might be cathartic for all of us. You've got my sub!
BUT, you HAVE had your chances ? Try playing in the Chiefs DIV"S every year , like NOW & get back to me & us Chargers fans , ok ? Vikings play in 1 of the weakest DIV"S in the NFC & have for years ? Now , lets SEE , what OLD man Rodgers can't do in a much tougher DIV"S & AFC conf's !
@@robertd.7060 True, two of the teams are pretty weak. But all it takes is one consistently good team. Green Bay got that with back to back Hall of Fame QBs, and dominated for over 3 decades.
@@robertd.7060 the chiefs have only been consistently great since 2016. We're talking about shitty luck and mismanagement among all 4 major sports leagues for over 30 years. There's been a total of 117 seasons and 50 playoff appearances without even making it to a championship series or title game for twin cities based teams.
@@ShadowBaofuThat was a series that the Knicks could've and should've won. This is coming from a 76ers fan. We haven't had a title since 1983. We should've had the title in 2001 so I feel for you.
As a Detroiter, it has to be the lions. 1 playoff win since JFK Died, and we never get a call. Like every team seems to have a call go their way every once in a while, and the Lions never seem to get any call, especially in the biggest of moments, moments that can change one’s Trajectory
Man the crazy thing about Justin tuckers record breaking field goal to beat the Lions is thats not even the first time the lions have lost to a record breaking field goal they really are cursed
How bout the Chicago/St. Louis/Phoenix/Arizona Cardinals? They haven't won since 1947 and played their entire 25+ year history in St. Louis without ever winning a playoff game or even having a home playoff game.
I barely remember the Purple People Eaters. However, I've watched every failure in the NFC championship. The shortcomings from 1998 & 2009 really stand out.
I’m just wondering how many of those seasons you remember the Vikings were lower than the Lions. Last time Detroit was in the finals was 15 years before there was a Superbowl.
Yeah Lions are more cursed, best RB ever, Best WR ever & both retire early because they can only take so much losing, still don't know what a catch is ever since they took the TD away from Megatron, oh yeah also best kicker ever, bet you wish you had Hanson on the Vikings a couple times don't you? Oh & Stafford leads his team to win a Superbowl the 1st year he's out from the Lions curse. That proves he could have done it in Detroit.
Mariners haven’t even been to a world series with Ken Griffey Jr, Edgar Martinez, Randy Johnson, Ichiro, or King Felix. I think they definitely deserve this list more than Cleveland
Had the Nationals not won the title in 2019, you could have listed the Montreal Expos and their fair share of great players they hade with Tim Raines, Gary Carter, Andre Dawson, Pedro Martinez, Larry Walker and Vladimir Guerrero Sr.
@shauncameron8390 Well, Montreal had it even worse off. They completely lost their team, just to learn that the team that forsoke their city pulled off a miraculous World Series run.
It's a toss up. Cleveland fans have been suffering for longer. Although, they do have 2 MLB championships to their credit, whereas Seattle's never even been to a World Series.
It’s more painful to be so close and have nothing to show for it. Low expectations take less years off one’s life than false hope. What the Mariners are experiencing is close to how Cleveland felt in 1994. Albert Belle, Kenny Lofton, Omar Vizquel, Manny Ramirez, Jim Thome, the Alomar brothers, and no ring to show for it in the 1990s. After that, two blown 3-1 leads in the series thought to decide the championship. That’s more painful and just the last three decades.
Great video. You're also right. The Suns are very much the most cursed NBA team. However, you missed a big instance of the curse. They have been cursed since there inception. They came into the league with the Bucks. There was a coin flip for the #1 pick in the draft....the Suns lost the flip, and the chance to draft Lew Alcindor errrrr Kareem. If the Suns draft him, he never leaves Phx like he did Milwawkee WI lol (who wants to live there) he even owned a house here while he played in LA. If that happenes. We'd have 8 championships probably. #Superteamforthecursebreaker ....Go Suns lol
Another thing to note, the vikings have the highest win percentage (.548) of any non-Superbowl winning team, the next closest non-Superbowl team being the Chargers at .501, also, they have the most playoff loses of any team at 31, and just a .404 win percentage in the playoffs, also some other cursed moment not mentioned being the 0-5 to 8-8 season in 2016 and going from 6-0 to 9-7 and missing the playoffs due to losing to a bad cards team in 03, plus the goal line drop in the '87 NFC championship game vs Washington, and many more events and just the fact that this team is easily the most historically talented team to not win a Superbowl makes being a fan tough, although im somehow still a fan, hopefully it'll be worth it one day though
man I am a fan of cleveland sports teams and my whole family is also and this is what our life is like just watching them either lose or lose games they were supposed to win :(
@NTD5-ru1kx nah 11 pro sport championships in 32 years ain't cursed Sox-1,cubs-1,hawks-3,bulls-6 That's an average of one championship just under every 3 years.
You forgot the Seattle mariners. They have had players like a-rod, ken Griffey jr, randy Johnson, ichiro, and king Felix. Also had a 116 win season and haven’t even made a World Series.
The Texas Rangers may not have the longest championship drought, but they are the oldest team in the four leagues that have never won a title. Edit - but not anymore!
LA /SD / LA Chargers in 1960 till now , NO , NFL titles ? Only went to 1 Super Bowl VRS the best 49ers team [ EVER ] & we were just a Wild card team , even then ? 1963 AFL champs , lost MORE Champion Ship games then we won , even in that minor league AT that time frame ?
@robertd.7060 I'm not sure if this reply is meant for me as it seems like an argument for the Chargers as the most cursed team with should be a general comment. If it's to say the Chargers are older than the Rangers with no titles, the AFL title you mentioned counts in this instance.
@@petercena9497 The pre-merger league championships are still acknowledged, even during the first four SBs. Super Bowl titles officially replaced them starting with SBV.
drafting Greg Oden was NOT a bad decision. you cannot insure yourself against career-changing injuries, and referring to Oden as a "draft bust" is just a bad take.
Bill Simmons in his ESPN days had a whole write-up about Oden and how he was obviously going to be injury prone his whole career.... It was obvious he shouldn't have been #1.
As a former long-time fan of the Browns, I thoroughly enjoyed your video. I can find solace with the fact that I’m not alone. Good clips of all the teams in their most cringe-worthy moments. I liked the clip of the 1965 NFL Championship game; Green Bay WR Carroll Dale (84) scoring a TD as 3 Cleveland defenders slip and fall in the muddy field.
I know a Cubs fan from playing community ball, and I clearly remembered in '16 I asked him how he feel right after Cubs finally wins it all. He said he celebrated so loud that his neighbors called police😂, and as a Rangers fan, I felt my pain and even some jealousy brewed.
I’m a Cleveland fan. If LeBron hadn’t delivered a championship four months earlier, I would’ve ended up in jail after they lost that series after leading 3-1.
I would almost say the Winnipeg Jets are also quite cursed. The roster in the 80s and early 90s was loaded, with Hawerchuck, Selänne, Domi, and Tkachuck, and never made it to the finals. They got shipped off to Arizona who can’t even sell out a college arena anymore while the modern Jets with players like Scheifele, Hellebyuck, Morrissey, Laine in his prime, Byfuglien, and even Evander Kane have all wasted their careers in Winnipeg.
As a part-time Browns fan (I lived in northeast PA for a while and had to choose between the Bills and Browns), there is a story, which I can't confirm and don't remember a source for, but everyone seemed to know it. In the last will and testament, and obituary, of a life-long Browns fan, the man asked that Browns players be his pall-bearers, saying that he wanted his favorite team to let him down one last time. It is one thing to be cursed, it is another when the fans accept and oddly enjoy it.
The Browns: Jim Brown was in a movie, and he could make training camp. They gave Jim Brown a choice either come to camp or quit. Jim Brown quit, and the Browns never made it to the Super Bowl.
so sorry to hear that man, I'm a Cubs fan though, so I can't say that wasn't happy when they won. seriously, whoever won, the other team would still have a curse on their hands. props to you for staying a fan.
Thank you! I hope to eventually experiment with some content about another sport; probably soccer or a combat sport like boxing would be first on my list.
@@suddendeathsports awesome! If I may give a suggestion, I'd really like to see you cover AFL and rugby aswell. They're my two favourite sports as an Aussie. Cheers bro
As a Bengals fan, it felt like I was in a different dimension when we made it to the Superbowl. When we were running out of the tunnel at the Superbowl I was fighting back tears. I had a bunch of family at my house for the game and I literally had to stay strong. I never thought I would see my Cincinnati Bengals in the big game. This team feels cursed... I am hoping we can win just 1 before I die. Just 1 man.
yeah it's really funny the bengals lost the Super Bowl and then didn't make it back the next year because Burrow 100% took the afc championship in kc for granted and the media was calling him the next Joe montana
As a Buffalo Bills fan, I've never been less angry about losing a playoff game. The Bengals are a classy franchise who did the right thing when Hamlin went down and it ended up costing them a chance at home field advantage. They deserve to win that game.
I am pretty sure they will win a Super bowl from 2023-2028.Alot of people are predicting the Bengals to win the AFC this year.A super bowl 58 showdown between the Eagles vs Bengals and Cincinnati winning it all.I wouldn't doubt it the Bengals got some very good players.They will win super bowl they are too good not too.
My beloved Minnesota Timberwolves… NBA championships: 0 NBA Finals appearances: 0 All-time record: 1,091-1,621 (.402) Playoff appearances: 11 All-time playoff record: 21-42 Statistically the worst NBA franchise of all time. We’re not even cursed. We’re just bad.
Awesome video Nick. Great job editting. Born in 67 in Toronto so i remember Sittler getting 10 points live on tv. I rrmember the harold drama. I watched that high stick live as well.
As far as the Charlotte Hornets are concerned, as a native here, I think the lack of NBA success here is partly offset by the incredible success of all the NCAA basketball teams from Chapel Hill, Duke, and NC State (well, mostly the first two). And maybe it's karma's way of balancing out things as far as basketball is concerned.
I'm a Utah Jazz fan, and while probably not as cursed as other teams, cheering for them can be extremely frustrating. They are almost never horrible (they accidently still won 37 games last year when they were blatantly trying to tank), which is actually a bad thing because this means they rarely if ever get any top draft picks. On top of that, the Jazz basically can never land any top level talent in free agency because nobody wants to play in Utah. Even when they do luck out with a quality draft pick, they either become disgruntled and have to be traded away (i.e. Deron Williams, Donovan Mitchell, and Rudy Gobert) or leave in free agency after their contract expires (Gordan Hayward). This is the perfect formula for the Jazz usually being good enough to be a first or second round playoff team at best (their last Conference Finals was back in 2007 when they were embarrassed by the Spurs), and a mediocre but not horrible team at worse.
It's so lovely being a Rockies fan. A young enough franchise to never be considered cursed and never good enough to be talked about. It's like being invisible. The Rockies could literally all disappear and no one would notice
The crazy thing about the Leafs is not only haven't they won a cup, they haven't even been to the Cup Finals, which is almost impossible in 55 years of NHL hockey. My favorite MLB team is the White Sox, but even though they went over 80 years without winning, I never felt they were cursed because to be cursed you have to come close a few times and then blow it, like the Red Sox. The White Sox were never even close until they won it. The Red Sox & Cubs were in multiple World Series in their curse years, but the White Sox were only in one (1959) and they didn't come close to winning that. Then when they got into one, they swept it, so there wasn't any real tension in that.
Maybe you could do a video on the biggest curse breaking wins of all time for each sport. Could be some obvious ones but some cool ones like the Kings who just made the playoffs after the longest streak in professional sports.
The Dolphins supposedly had a curse put on them by former RB Mercury Morris who hated Shula, and he said the Dolphins would never win another SB as long as Shula was alive....well, he's gone so I wait now lol
@@nytewrtr I hated Shula too as a Jet fan, but that 2007 season just epitomized what rooting for a sad sack team is all about. It's New England-Giants with New England or course going for their perfect season. If New England wins they create their own list and paper over Miami. If they lose Miami stays as the lone unbeaten but the Giants win another Bowl. I wish there was a third choice but there never is...
As a Red Sox and Patriots fan who grew up in the ‘80s and ’90s, I can tell you that when the teams you expect to lose every year start winning, the gratification you initially feel will quickly start to wane, especially once the “pink hats” start to take over. Nothing can ever take away the joy we felt from 2001-2007 rooting for those teams, but today I couldn’t care less what happens.
Growing up a kid as a New England sports fan really made me appreciate the journey of every team every year. Seeing 6 parades in the 00s and then 6 more in the 10s was something no other fans will ever understand. The sports gods loved Boston for 20 years.
Yeah I knew my Rangers would be on here. 2010-11 was such a heartbreak especially 2011. I don’t know how we didn’t win one with Young, Beltre, Hamilton, Napoli, Kinsler and Andrus
I've been diehard Red Sox fan since the late 70s so I spent a solid 25 years watching defeat being snatched from the jaws of victory before the curse was finally broken. Top that off with the fact that I grew up in CT with my other sport and team being hockey and the "forever .500" Whalers and I will never not expect the worst to happen despite my Sox having brought home 4 titles in the past 19 years.
I would have been 5 during the famous RedSox come back in 04 to this day its the only time a team has ever overturned a 3-0 game deficit in the playoffs the end of game 7 I can't even imagine the pandemonium so many things about it after 84 years finally beating the Yankees when it mattered and the realisation setting in that this is finally their year 19 years later and the Red Sox still haven't lost another series to the Yankees in the playoffs
Been a Cubs fan since I moved to Chicago in 1963, which means I was a fan for half of the "curse" before their win in the 2016 World Series. As the T-shirt says, "we ain't afraid of no goats!" Now that "curse" is on the Guardians as they have kept their streak going for 75 years and counting. Side note: the Cubs' celebration in Chicago for the World Series win assembled the fifth largest crowd in history - 5,000,000 people. Cheers....
At least everyone loved the Cubs, even as losers. Being a White Sox fan, nobody ever talked about them going 80+ years without a championship. It was all Red Sox & Cubs. Then when the White Sox won and they had a parade, nobody showed up except a few muggers and pick pockets, and they had no one to rob. Talk about no respect.
That moment in the intro where you said supporting these teams has driven fans to literal insanity and you show the front and centre shot of my man Steve Dangle LOL, well played, he's a certified Leaf fan on that rollercoaster of emotions. I jumped off years ago, sometimes you just gotta know when it's in, and the Leafs are cursed, they'll never win it.
Being a Sharks fan really hurts, but being a die hard Sharks fan since day 1 makes me damn near wanna ctb after the Knights cake walk this year after cherry picking the league their first year.
Cherry picked? Every news source predicted that we were gonna be horrible. Sure we grabbed a star or two like Fleury, but a lot of our guys were the left overs that teams didn't want anymore. The Panthers literally gave us Reilly Smith and Jonathan Marchessault because they wanted to protect another dude.
As a Kings fans, it was fun when we beat you to go on to our first Stanley Cup. But after a few years, I started to pity you. How could a team be so good in the regular season and lose so throughly in the playoffs? They should have had at least one Stanley Cup in the 2010s.
@@mrwednesdaynight man the year we lost first round with the presidents trophy to Anaheim, and went on to win their first was the apex of my misery. I just wish jumbo joe could’ve hoisted one with Nabby. And to the guy defending the Knights, tell me, how was your drafting equal to that of ANY other expansion team? You may not have gotten the top superstars of each team, but still got damn near the pick of the litter, league round. A team of nothing but stars is so much better than a team of a few superstars and a spot fillers. Kraken sure as shit didn’t get the same treatment, and I despise Seattle for multiple reasons, and even I can admit they got totally shafted in comparison to your induction. Cake walk. I bet you’re one who vehemently argues you got robbed the year you blew the 3 goal lead after you busted lil joes dome on the ice.
The Texas Rangers are definitely my pick. Imagine being one strike away from a championship, twice, in the same game, and losing the WS. That's just crazy. Assuming the Dodgers are not in the WS this year (fairly safe assumption), I'll be rooting for the Rangers. With first ballot HOF manager Bruce Bochy leading them, this is their chance.
The curse of Robert Short, the cheapskate owner who .left Washington without baseball for 33 seasons and brought up 18-year David Clyde straight from high school. Plus playing in a glorified AA ballpark for their first 22 seasons.
_Looks at the Texas Rangers current luck, considering the MARINERS (the FUCKING MARINERS) have come outta nowhere and now yoinked the 1st place in the AL West division from the Rangers as of today._ Yeah, not so sure about that one chief.
You ask the question of why we root for the cursed. Because when it's broken, the feeling is amazing. Sadly, at least for me, it reduced my attention to the team afterwards, which is a sad side effect.
When the Rangers won in 94 after watching three icing calls in the last five seconds in game seven and the game was over, my wife asked why aren’t you cheering? I answered I can’t believe they did it, stunned into silence. I’m still waiting for another…….
as a suns fan i see it as a W that it takes the official's of the game to stop us and it goes way further then that one ref who went public that one year....its a constant hurdle and we will overcome it... ;P
Yea we still have more Conference championship game apperances this century then the Bills the Dolphins and the Cowboys As for our team it's honestly who knows my take is this season will either go really well and we make the playoffs or its a disaster we get swept by our division again and go 3-14 everything is riding on Aaron Rodgers
That’s like waking up and realizing “ hey , awesome, my hemorrhoids aren’t flaring up today”! And then getting explosive diarrhea that mostly gets in the bowl
As to why we cheer for these teams, it's what I call "Sports Pennance"... so when the other teams we like that are really good win, we can deflect by saying we are diehard bad teams fans too...
I’d say Arizona Coyotes are the most cursed in the NHL. The furthest they ever got was one appearance in the Western Conference finals, and since they can’t even get a permanent stadium to play in. Basically playing in a gymnasium now.
I’m a die hard Philadelphia Flyers fan. And being a fan is so damn difficult. Year after year the team never gets better, and never finds a way to be a contender. 2019-20 season happened and I was so convinced that they could go all the way that year. Then the pandemic hit the hockey gods truly don’t want us to win. Should’ve had the first overall pick in 2007 Blackhawks take Kane and we get JVR. Flyers vs Blackhawks Stanley cup final, Patrick Kane scores the cup clinching goal. Blackhawks go on to win three more cups. While the Flyers are trying to find their first since 1975. Yeah we’re definitely cursed.
@@vinceniederman Not a Flyers fan but am an old fart so got to watch their two Stanley Cup wins. One tough thing about the Flyers was that for about 30 years after winning their cups they always had a good team. Maybe one or two years were down, but they were almost always a contender and could have won a lot of times, but never did. So what's worse--having a team that's always good but always comes up short, or having a team that's bad for 40 years, but in it's one good year wins the championship (like my White Sox)?
Never saw the cup years but we always had a great team up until about Snider died. It was so frustrating seeing team after team that was so very good year after year fail in the playoffs. At least now we know they will just be bad lol
One more NBA team I would put in there is the Sacramento Kings. Yes, the won a Championship in 1951 back in Rochester, but since then it's been decades of disappointment. They're looking better nowadays, but how long will it last.
The Marlins have won 2 World Series and u think they’re cursed? This year, they might actually make the playoffs for the 4th time in their franchise history. Those fans in South Beach should be pumped for their sports teams, even tho the Heat and Panthers lost in their respective title series.
As a fan of the Minnesota Twins, the Las Vegas Raiders, and the Atlanta Hawks (I swear I have good reasons for all three), I don’t know if there’s a more cursed trio than that.
Don’t forget the extra credential for the Vikings that is the fact that though they’ve been to four Super Bowls, they failed to gain a lead at any point in any of those four games.
Well, I guess the Rangers saw this video and decided to do something about that.
What's the most cursed team in sports?

I think I kind of understand how he felt that day when I watched Cal end our drought last year.
It's such an ugly battlefield that Mariners fans deal with that the brief respites we're given when things actually go good are that much more beautiful
I feel like the Lions also have the distinction of being on the losing end of an unbelievable amount of bad calls from officials. Several of which have outright lost them the game or a chance in the playoffs altogether.
Don't worry The packers made sure to CURSE your OTHER 2 rivals
That way you're never alone
It is FUN being responsible for the baseball n basketball curses too as the brewers n bucks ALSO took after big brother GREEN BAY and implemented their lording over cursed teams themselves
Facts😂 it’s hard being a Lions fan at times. But, this year feels like it could genuinely be one of our better years. Like, I’m the most confident in this Lions team than any team throughout it’s history. Honestly, Goff and the defense might be the only question marks for this team. However, the defense is young and will get better, and Goff has been solid, but needs to polish his game a little more.

Fun fact about the Brewers, every team that had faced them in the playoffs eventually went on to go to the World Series. They are literally the doormat of playoff baseball contention😢
That’s kinda the same way the Wizards are lol
The Brewers have been cursed since October 19, 1982, the night they went into Game 6 of the World Series up 3-2 only to be curb-stomped 13-1 in St. Louis.

@@OshiZlebaseball The 1979 Chargers were the best team in the NFL that year. During the regular season, they throttled both Pittsburgh and LA Rams (the Superbowl teams). Yet they lost in the divisional round to a Houston Oilers team riddled with injuries.
The Angels have had the same season since like 2017: start off hot in April as one of the best teams in the AL, fall off by June, get basically eliminated in early September, then get hot too late, win like 75 games, and then have Trout or Ohtani be an MVP finalist
I don’t know how the mariners aren’t on this list, the 2001 team, and ofc never having been to a World Series

As a Brewers fan, pain and choking is in our DNA.
1982- Lose World Series to the Cardinals
1987- Win first 13 games in a row and 20 out of their first 23, only to finish 91-71, 7 spots out of a playoff spot
Jobber team in the 90s
Made one playoff appearance between 1982 and 2011 (2008 NLDS, Phillies won the World Series)
Lost 2011 NLCS to a Cardinals team who rallied back in the last month of the season (That team won the World Series)
Missed playoffs in 2014 after leading the division all season until the final month
Lost NLCS in 7 to the Dodgers after clinching the top seed in the NL
Choking away NL Wild Card to the Nationals in 2019 (That team won the World Series)
Doormat for the 2020 Dodgers (Who won the World Series)
Lost in 4 games to the Atlanta Braves in the NLDS in 2021 (Like I need to say that phrase again)
Missed out on the playoffs by a game in 2022 (Phillies made the World Series)
The Brewers are a team either choke in epic fashion or fall short against teams who made the World Series or in most instances, won the World Series.
Thats because you have a little bit of Seattle in your dna. Just look at the Mariners.
For nearly 53 seasons, the Brew Crew has constantly have had streaks of quintessential bad luck at the absolute wrong times of the season. It was awesome seeing the Packers win the Super Bowl twice and the Bucks finally winning it all several seasons ago, yet I've always wished for the Crew to reach the pinnacle. Shame I've wasted my tears on this!
Milwaukee are the American version of the Brisbane Bandits who miss the playoffs or dilberately lose in them every time. I am a Canberra Cavalry fan and we are just as terrible bar 2013.
I agree as a longtime Brewers Fan having to see the team lose time and time again with only the one world series appearance that I was not alive to see.
That's what you get for stealing the Pilots away from Seattle! Oklahoma (Thunder) is in the same boat. They stole the Sonics and are gonna be cursed for a long time.
I'm surprised you didn't mention the Mariners, who are the only MLB team to never even make it to the World Series. They had an abundance of talent in the 90s/early 2000s and fell short every time, mostly to those damn Yankees.
Also as a Sharks fan who started following the team (and hockey in general) in 2019, life has been pretty rough 😔
Sharks made it to win the playoffs in Late 2000's or early 2010's. But yeah the Seatle Mariners are bad.

I'm Jets-Knicks-Rangers-Mets. You've got problems when the 1 cup in nearly 85 years Rangers is the best team you've got
What's also not taken into account here is the added pain of watching other teams in your city winning titles. Nothing like being a Jet fan and watching the Giants win four SBs, including two with New England, then the rest of the time basically go into hibernation. Or being a Met fan and losing straight up to the Yankees. Even the Islanders (four) and Devils (three) have won multiple Cups to the Rangers' one, and as much as I hate to admit it, the Islanders' nineteen straight playoff series wins will likely never be broken.
At least there is "misery loves company" in other places that perennially lose with everyone on the same page.
@@bernardoconnor1502 I'll be honest I'm happier with the 108 win 86 Mets winning a series they shouldn't have then the Mets having a few more cinderella seasons. Dominant Championships count a little more in my book. Case in point the Bears and their various musicals about 1985.
I feel like had it not been for us finally ending the legacy of failure in the 2023 NBA Finals, The Nuggets would've definitely been a perfect fit for this video
Up until this year we had the most playoff appearances of any team in the league that didn't make the finals and we had to wait 47 years to even make it to the big dance and before that we've had plenty of heartbreak
where to begin?
-becoming the first team to lose a playoff series to the Clippers since they've moved to LA
-losing out on drafting Lebron James
-Blew a lead in Game 6 of the 1986 Conference Semifinals against Houston that could've forced a game 7
-Losing to Minnesota to miss the playoffs in game 82 of the 2017-2018 season ending their drought
-blowing a lead to lose Game 7 against the Trailblazers in the 2018-2019 conference semifinals
-constant injuries ruining our chances to make a deep run in 2021 and 2022
-the constant loses to the Lakers in the playoffs until this year with 3 of them coming in our 5 WCF appearances
-Basically wasted the talents of Alex English, Dikembe Mutombo, Carmelo Anthony, etc
Thank god for Nikola Jokic managing to finally bring a championship to this city after all these years
You can also thank Michael Malone for that.
You could absolutely have thrown in the San Diego/Los Angeles Chargers into the NFL debate as a 4th option. How can a team compete in such big appealing markets and have so much good talent go through town and still not have much to show for it??
Especially during the late 70s early 80s where they made 2 afc championship appearances and lost. Then never making the playoffs until 1992 and getting blown out by the 49ers in the Super Bowl in 1994.

As a Detroiter, it has to be the lions. 1 playoff win since JFK Died, and we never get a call. Like every team seems to have a call go their way every once in a while, and the Lions never seem to get any call, especially in the biggest of moments, moments that can change one’s Trajectory

I barely remember the Purple People Eaters. However, I've watched every failure in the NFC championship. The shortcomings from 1998 & 2009 really stand out.
I’m just wondering how many of those seasons you remember the Vikings were lower than the Lions. Last time Detroit was in the finals was 15 years before there was a Superbowl.
Yeah Lions are more cursed, best RB ever, Best WR ever & both retire early because they can only take so much losing, still don't know what a catch is ever since they took the TD away from Megatron, oh yeah also best kicker ever, bet you wish you had Hanson on the Vikings a couple times don't you? Oh & Stafford leads his team to win a Superbowl the 1st year he's out from the Lions curse. That proves he could have done it in Detroit.
1987 was a heartbreaker too.

Mariners haven’t even been to a world series with Ken Griffey Jr, Edgar Martinez, Randy Johnson, Ichiro, or King Felix. I think they definitely deserve this list more than Cleveland

@shauncameron8390 Well, Montreal had it even worse off. They completely lost their team, just to learn that the team that forsoke their city pulled off a miraculous World Series run.
It's a toss up. Cleveland fans have been suffering for longer. Although, they do have 2 MLB championships to their credit, whereas Seattle's never even been to a World Series.
@@AbbeyRoadkill1 those 2 championships mean little when the average age of someone who actually remembers them is like 80
It’s more painful to be so close and have nothing to show for it. Low expectations take less years off one’s life than false hope. What the Mariners are experiencing is close to how Cleveland felt in 1994. Albert Belle, Kenny Lofton, Omar Vizquel, Manny Ramirez, Jim Thome, the Alomar brothers, and no ring to show for it in the 1990s. After that, two blown 3-1 leads in the series thought to decide the championship. That’s more painful and just the last three decades.
I'm shocked that you didn't mention the Mariners in MLB who've yet to even MAKE the world series at ALL!
Great video. You're also right. The Suns are very much the most cursed NBA team. However, you missed a big instance of the curse. They have been cursed since there inception. They came into the league with the Bucks. There was a coin flip for the #1 pick in the draft....the Suns lost the flip, and the chance to draft Lew Alcindor errrrr Kareem. If the Suns draft him, he never leaves Phx like he did Milwawkee WI lol (who wants to live there) he even owned a house here while he played in LA. If that happenes. We'd have 8 championships probably. #Superteamforthecursebreaker ....Go Suns lol
Even before 2016, the Vikings had more heartbreak than the Cubs (and I say this as a Cubs fan).
I love how I cheer for 3 of these teams. No wonder I’m always depressed at the end of a sports season
True fan
"Don't worry, Buffalo, I'll get to you later" made me both chuckle and groan at the same time...
as a leaf fan for the past 25 years with my dad also being one since his childhood, you just get numb from the pain.
Those playoff collapses in 2013, 2018, 2019, and 2021 were excruciating.
Another thing to note, the vikings have the highest win percentage (.548) of any non-Superbowl winning team, the next closest non-Superbowl team being the Chargers at .501, also, they have the most playoff loses of any team at 31, and just a .404 win percentage in the playoffs, also some other cursed moment not mentioned being the 0-5 to 8-8 season in 2016 and going from 6-0 to 9-7 and missing the playoffs due to losing to a bad cards team in 03, plus the goal line drop in the '87 NFC championship game vs Washington, and many more events and just the fact that this team is easily the most historically talented team to not win a Superbowl makes being a fan tough, although im somehow still a fan, hopefully it'll be worth it one day though
How about the year they were #1 offense and defense and missed the playoffs? 2010 or 2011?
I think that was the Chargers who missed the playoffs with the best offense and defense in 2010
On paper moss peterson and favre should be an easy Super Bowl. Literally just go play football. But that somehow turned out to be a failure....

@robertd.7060 I'm not sure if this reply is meant for me as it seems like an argument for the Chargers as the most cursed team with should be a general comment. If it's to say the Chargers are older than the Rangers with no titles, the AFL title you mentioned counts in this instance.

The pre-merger league championships are still acknowledged, even during the first four SBs.
Super Bowl titles officially replaced them starting with SBV.
drafting Greg Oden was NOT a bad decision. you cannot insure yourself against career-changing injuries, and referring to Oden as a "draft bust" is just a bad take.
A healthy Oden on the Blazers could have been something.
Bill Simmons in his ESPN days had a whole write-up about Oden and how he was obviously going to be injury prone his whole career.... It was obvious he shouldn't have been #1.
As a former long-time fan of the Browns, I thoroughly enjoyed your video. I can find solace with the fact that I’m not alone. Good clips of all the teams in their most cringe-worthy moments. I liked the clip of the 1965 NFL Championship game; Green Bay WR Carroll Dale (84) scoring a TD as 3 Cleveland defenders slip and fall in the muddy field.
One of the most annoying things I've heard, is when you tell someone your favorite team, and they respond with " I'm sorry".
The Sabres may not have made a playoff series in the past 11 years but they at least were more successful in the past 19 than the Leafs were

There is a difference of a curse or the bills just suck
I would almost say the Winnipeg Jets are also quite cursed. The roster in the 80s and early 90s was loaded, with Hawerchuck, Selänne, Domi, and Tkachuck, and never made it to the finals. They got shipped off to Arizona who can’t even sell out a college arena anymore while the modern Jets with players like Scheifele, Hellebyuck, Morrissey, Laine in his prime, Byfuglien, and even Evander Kane have all wasted their careers in Winnipeg.
As a part-time Browns fan (I lived in northeast PA for a while and had to choose between the Bills and Browns), there is a story, which I can't confirm and don't remember a source for, but everyone seemed to know it.
In the last will and testament, and obituary, of a life-long Browns fan, the man asked that Browns players be his pall-bearers, saying that he wanted his favorite team to let him down one last time. It is one thing to be cursed, it is another when the fans accept and oddly enjoy it.
Speaking of the Bills and cursed teams… what’s more cursed than losing a championship game 4 times in a row?
The Browns: Jim Brown was in a movie, and he could make training camp. They gave Jim Brown a choice either come to camp or quit.
Jim Brown quit, and the Browns never made it to the Super Bowl.
Being an Indians fan, I truly do believe that if the rain delay never happened and killed the momentum, we were winning that game. :(
so sorry to hear that man, I'm a Cubs fan though, so I can't say that wasn't happy when they won. seriously, whoever won, the other team would still have a curse on their hands. props to you for staying a fan.

As a Bengals fan, it felt like I was in a different dimension when we made it to the Superbowl. When we were running out of the tunnel at the Superbowl I was fighting back tears. I had a bunch of family at my house for the game and I literally had to stay strong. I never thought I would see my Cincinnati Bengals in the big game. This team feels cursed... I am hoping we can win just 1 before I die. Just 1 man.
Burrow will get you there. I believe this is their year.
yeah it's really funny the bengals lost the Super Bowl and then didn't make it back the next year because Burrow 100% took the afc championship in kc for granted and the media was calling him the next Joe montana
As a Buffalo Bills fan, I've never been less angry about losing a playoff game. The Bengals are a classy franchise who did the right thing when Hamlin went down and it ended up costing them a chance at home field advantage. They deserve to win that game.
If your o-line was actually good at protecting Joe y’all should’ve won the Super Bowl. Im a Browns Fan and I was rooting for Cinncy to win it
I am pretty sure they will win a Super bowl from 2023-2028.Alot of people are predicting the Bengals to win the AFC this year.A super bowl 58 showdown between the Eagles vs Bengals and Cincinnati winning it all.I wouldn't doubt it the Bengals got some very good players.They will win super bowl they are too good not too.
As a Winnipeg Jets fan I’m still banging my head against the wall in frustration for over 40 years
My beloved Minnesota Timberwolves…
NBA championships: 0
NBA Finals appearances: 0
All-time record: 1,091-1,621 (.402)
Playoff appearances: 11
All-time playoff record: 21-42
Statistically the worst NBA franchise of all time.
We’re not even cursed. We’re just bad.
as a suns fan, you completely flew over the one chance they had at winning - at least, until Nash got hip checked into oblivion.
Yeah that series could warrant its own video - definitely seen a couple others out there.
The Rangers loss to the cardinals in 2011 still is my all time most painful championship loss in all of sports.
...one strike away....
@@creamcitysista1970 not once but twice!!
I hope that this past fall finally brought you some peace. Congrats on finally winning the World Series 🎉
Awesome video Nick. Great job editting. Born in 67 in Toronto so i remember Sittler getting 10 points live on tv. I rrmember the harold drama. I watched that high stick live as well.
As far as the Charlotte Hornets are concerned, as a native here, I think the lack of NBA success here is partly offset by the incredible success of all the NCAA basketball teams from Chapel Hill, Duke, and NC State (well, mostly the first two). And maybe it's karma's way of balancing out things as far as basketball is concerned.
The Bobcats/Hornets hardly have any success.
I would say Jerry sold his soul for the cowboys super bowls so we been cursed for 30 damn years
I'm a Browns fan you don't know about being cursed
Cowboys aren't cursed, they just suck.
I'm a Utah Jazz fan, and while probably not as cursed as other teams, cheering for them can be extremely frustrating. They are almost never horrible (they accidently still won 37 games last year when they were blatantly trying to tank), which is actually a bad thing because this means they rarely if ever get any top draft picks. On top of that, the Jazz basically can never land any top level talent in free agency because nobody wants to play in Utah. Even when they do luck out with a quality draft pick, they either become disgruntled and have to be traded away (i.e. Deron Williams, Donovan Mitchell, and Rudy Gobert) or leave in free agency after their contract expires (Gordan Hayward).
This is the perfect formula for the Jazz usually being good enough to be a first or second round playoff team at best (their last Conference Finals was back in 2007 when they were embarrassed by the Spurs), and a mediocre but not horrible team at worse.
The jazz have tried tanking before and the players were a bust 😞
Not to mention Karl Malone is a pedo
Jazz with Stockton and Malone SHOULD have won at least 2 to 3 titles.
It's so lovely being a Rockies fan. A young enough franchise to never be considered cursed and never good enough to be talked about. It's like being invisible. The Rockies could literally all disappear and no one would notice
Let’s not forget the Vikings winning the last ever NFL Championship in 1969, then losing the trophy and finding it years later in Green Bay…
At least the Lions ownership is starting to care for the first time since the Ford family bought the team in 1960
Phoenix suns fan here and it always feels like we are so close
(I don’t watch a lot of the nfl but the Cardinal should be on this list)
The crazy thing about the Leafs is not only haven't they won a cup, they haven't even been to the Cup Finals, which is almost impossible in 55 years of NHL hockey. My favorite MLB team is the White Sox, but even though they went over 80 years without winning, I never felt they were cursed because to be cursed you have to come close a few times and then blow it, like the Red Sox. The White Sox were never even close until they won it. The Red Sox & Cubs were in multiple World Series in their curse years, but the White Sox were only in one (1959) and they didn't come close to winning that. Then when they got into one, they swept it, so there wasn't any real tension in that.
The New York Red Bulls of MLS would’ve worked perfectly for this video 😭😂
Maybe you could do a video on the biggest curse breaking wins of all time for each sport. Could be some obvious ones but some cool ones like the Kings who just made the playoffs after the longest streak in professional sports.
Thanks for the suggestion, that's a great one! Wish I saw this comment earlier but everyone's got something to say down here :)
@@suddendeathsports No worries! Looking forward to it whenever you get to it.
That is indeed a great idea!
The Dolphins supposedly had a curse put on them by former RB Mercury Morris who hated Shula, and he said the Dolphins would never win another SB as long as Shula was alive....well, he's gone so I wait now lol
At least they can say they had the only undefeated season
@@nytewrtr I hated Shula too as a Jet fan, but that 2007 season just epitomized what rooting for a sad sack team is all about. It's New England-Giants with New England or course going for their perfect season. If New England wins they create their own list and paper over Miami. If they lose Miami stays as the lone unbeaten but the Giants win another Bowl. I wish there was a third choice but there never is...
@@steves9964 That's a rough way to lose your first game of the season as well as the Super bowl.
Minnesota Vikings fan since I was born and for life.💜💛 All we do is have heart attacks due to our teams lovely roller coaster of emotions.
As a Red Sox and Patriots fan who grew up in the ‘80s and ’90s, I can tell you that when the teams you expect to lose every year start winning, the gratification you initially feel will quickly start to wane, especially once the “pink hats” start to take over. Nothing can ever take away the joy we felt from 2001-2007 rooting for those teams, but today I couldn’t care less what happens.
Growing up a kid as a New England sports fan really made me appreciate the journey of every team every year. Seeing 6 parades in the 00s and then 6 more in the 10s was something no other fans will ever understand. The sports gods loved Boston for 20 years.
@@geordiejones5618yea New England was definitely spoiled in the 00s and 10s 20s probably won't be much tbh
Yeah I knew my Rangers would be on here. 2010-11 was such a heartbreak especially 2011. I don’t know how we didn’t win one with Young, Beltre, Hamilton, Napoli, Kinsler and Andrus
Get Freeze-d.
Sincerely,
-Cardinals fan
I'm not a Rangers fan, but that Game 6 failure from 2011 still haunts me. It's up there with the 2015 failure against the Toronto Blue Jays.
Also Cruz.
@@shauncameron8390 we don’t talk about Cruz. He was amazing but very much cost us the championship against the Cardinals
Video could just be every Minnesota team 😭
As Leafs fan since the 70's the only conclusion I can draw, is they are indeed, cursed,
I will always argue in favour of people cheering for their hometown team, no matter how useless they may be.
I've been diehard Red Sox fan since the late 70s so I spent a solid 25 years watching defeat being snatched from the jaws of victory before the curse was finally broken. Top that off with the fact that I grew up in CT with my other sport and team being hockey and the "forever .500" Whalers and I will never not expect the worst to happen despite my Sox having brought home 4 titles in the past 19 years.
Cubs DID win a title, not so far back & have MORE titles way before that ? many still have NEVER won a single title, try again !
I would have been 5 during the famous RedSox come back in 04 to this day its the only time a team has ever overturned a 3-0 game deficit in the playoffs the end of game 7 I can't even imagine the pandemonium so many things about it after 84 years finally beating the Yankees when it mattered and the realisation setting in that this is finally their year 19 years later and the Red Sox still haven't lost another series to the Yankees in the playoffs
Been a Cubs fan since I moved to Chicago in 1963, which means I was a fan for half of the "curse" before their win in the 2016 World Series. As the T-shirt says, "we ain't afraid of no goats!" Now that "curse" is on the Guardians as they have kept their streak going for 75 years and counting. Side note: the Cubs' celebration in Chicago for the World Series win assembled the fifth largest crowd in history - 5,000,000 people. Cheers....
Guardians never said they were cursed. Just not good enough to win.
@@albertelnen9144hopefully the owner sells and someone comes in who can spend. Wasting the talents of the front office and Francona.
At least everyone loved the Cubs, even as losers. Being a White Sox fan, nobody ever talked about them going 80+ years without a championship. It was all Red Sox & Cubs. Then when the White Sox won and they had a parade, nobody showed up except a few muggers and pick pockets, and they had no one to rob. Talk about no respect.
I didn't love them. I'm glad they won so they stopped winning. Nothing loveable about losing.
@@RRaquello Williams and Hahn are in the unemployment line as of this, so things are already looking up for the South Side fans. Cheers....
That moment in the intro where you said supporting these teams has driven fans to literal insanity and you show the front and centre shot of my man Steve Dangle LOL, well played, he's a certified Leaf fan on that rollercoaster of emotions. I jumped off years ago, sometimes you just gotta know when it's in, and the Leafs are cursed, they'll never win it.
I couldn't produce this video and not include Dangle! His book is hanging up on one of the shelves in my backdrop :)
My heart goes out to Steve Dangle. He deserves a hug after witnessing every painful post-season collapse.
Being a Charger & Padres diehard has allowed me to grow a thick skin since we’ve been nothing but a disappointment.
Being a Sharks fan really hurts, but being a die hard Sharks fan since day 1 makes me damn near wanna ctb after the Knights cake walk this year after cherry picking the league their first year.
Cherry picked? Every news source predicted that we were gonna be horrible. Sure we grabbed a star or two like Fleury, but a lot of our guys were the left overs that teams didn't want anymore. The Panthers literally gave us Reilly Smith and Jonathan Marchessault because they wanted to protect another dude.
As a Kings fans, it was fun when we beat you to go on to our first Stanley Cup. But after a few years, I started to pity you. How could a team be so good in the regular season and lose so throughly in the playoffs? They should have had at least one Stanley Cup in the 2010s.
@@mrwednesdaynight man the year we lost first round with the presidents trophy to Anaheim, and went on to win their first was the apex of my misery. I just wish jumbo joe could’ve hoisted one with Nabby.
And to the guy defending the Knights, tell me, how was your drafting equal to that of ANY other expansion team? You may not have gotten the top superstars of each team, but still got damn near the pick of the litter, league round. A team of nothing but stars is so much better than a team of a few superstars and a spot fillers. Kraken sure as shit didn’t get the same treatment, and I despise Seattle for multiple reasons, and even I can admit they got totally shafted in comparison to your induction. Cake walk.
I bet you’re one who vehemently argues you got robbed the year you blew the 3 goal lead after you busted lil joes dome on the ice.
The Texas Rangers are definitely my pick. Imagine being one strike away from a championship, twice, in the same game, and losing the WS. That's just crazy. Assuming the Dodgers are not in the WS this year (fairly safe assumption), I'll be rooting for the Rangers. With first ballot HOF manager Bruce Bochy leading them, this is their chance.
The curse of Robert Short, the cheapskate owner who .left Washington without baseball for 33 seasons and brought up 18-year David Clyde straight from high school. Plus playing in a glorified AA ballpark for their first 22 seasons.
Go 'Stros
_Looks at the Texas Rangers current luck, considering the MARINERS (the FUCKING MARINERS) have come outta nowhere and now yoinked the 1st place in the AL West division from the Rangers as of today._
Yeah, not so sure about that one chief.
Buddy we can finally celebrate! we JUST won!
thanks for putting dangle and the maple leafs!! hahahah
The pirates haven't recovered from their playoff loss to Atlanta 30 years ago. They're cursed because of their ownership 😢
You ask the question of why we root for the cursed. Because when it's broken, the feeling is amazing.
Sadly, at least for me, it reduced my attention to the team afterwards, which is a sad side effect.
No matter how bad my team does, I'll still cheer for them. Through the good times and the bad times
When the Rangers won in 94 after watching three icing calls in the last five seconds in game seven and the game was over, my wife asked why aren’t you cheering? I answered I can’t believe they did it, stunned into silence.
I’m still waiting for another…….
as a suns fan i see it as a W that it takes the official's of the game to stop us and it goes way further then that one ref who went public that one year....its a constant hurdle and we will overcome it... ;P
as frustrating and hopeless as it is being a jets fan, it’s videos like this that make me realize it could be much worse
Yea we still have more Conference championship game apperances this century then the Bills the Dolphins and the Cowboys
As for our team it's honestly who knows my take is this season will either go really well and we make the playoffs or its a disaster we get swept by our division again and go 3-14 everything is riding on Aaron Rodgers
I think The Sacramento Kings, Chicago Bears and Pittsburgh Pirates are pretty heavily cursed as well.
Love being a Cleveland fan BUT DAMN I’m gonna cry now
That’s like waking up and realizing “ hey , awesome, my hemorrhoids aren’t flaring up today”! And then getting explosive diarrhea that mostly gets in the bowl
@@peteyprimo7173never seen something so accurate before
As to why we cheer for these teams, it's what I call "Sports Pennance"... so when the other teams we like that are really good win, we can deflect by saying we are diehard bad teams fans too...
I’d say Arizona Coyotes are the most cursed in the NHL. The furthest they ever got was one appearance in the Western Conference finals, and since they can’t even get a permanent stadium to play in. Basically playing in a gymnasium now.
MLB Orioles, NFL Washington, NBA Wizards. The D.C. area is just cursed!
if i could vote the most cursed MLB team i would choose my favorite Mlb team The Mariners i still can't believe that the made the playoffs last year
It's nuts to think they never went to a World Series with Randy Johnson, Griffey Jr, Edgar Martinez, etc.
I’m a die hard Philadelphia Flyers fan. And being a fan is so damn difficult. Year after year the team never gets better, and never finds a way to be a contender. 2019-20 season happened and I was so convinced that they could go all the way that year. Then the pandemic hit the hockey gods truly don’t want us to win. Should’ve had the first overall pick in 2007 Blackhawks take Kane and we get JVR. Flyers vs Blackhawks Stanley cup final, Patrick Kane scores the cup clinching goal. Blackhawks go on to win three more cups. While the Flyers are trying to find their first since 1975. Yeah we’re definitely cursed.
I’m a Flyers Fan As Well and Been a Fan Since 1995 I’m So Tired of Hearing 1975 I Wasn’t Around Then!
@@vinceniederman Not a Flyers fan but am an old fart so got to watch their two Stanley Cup wins. One tough thing about the Flyers was that for about 30 years after winning their cups they always had a good team. Maybe one or two years were down, but they were almost always a contender and could have won a lot of times, but never did. So what's worse--having a team that's always good but always comes up short, or having a team that's bad for 40 years, but in it's one good year wins the championship (like my White Sox)?
Never saw the cup years but we always had a great team up until about Snider died.
It was so frustrating seeing team after team that was so very good year after year fail in the playoffs.
At least now we know they will just be bad lol
*Laughs maniacally in Browns fan*
One more NBA team I would put in there is the Sacramento Kings. Yes, the won a Championship in 1951 back in Rochester, but since then it's been decades of disappointment. They're looking better nowadays, but how long will it last.
I love this video. You should make the opposite, the luckiest teams.
That's a great idea, thank you!
@@suddendeathsports np
@@suddendeathsports
I’ve got your top 3 for MLB:
The Marlins
The Marlins
The Marlins
The Marlins have won 2 World Series and u think they’re cursed? This year, they might actually make the playoffs for the 4th time in their franchise history. Those fans in South Beach should be pumped for their sports teams, even tho the Heat and Panthers lost in their respective title series.
@@Kent-xy7jh Did you read the comment this was replying to?
To paraphrase: ‘A video on the top 3 LUCKIEST teams’
As a fan of the Minnesota Twins, the Las Vegas Raiders, and the Atlanta Hawks (I swear I have good reasons for all three), I don’t know if there’s a more cursed trio than that.
I’m a fan of the NY Red Bulls it’s worse to have an ownership across the Atlantic and not give a shit about the team
Don’t forget the extra credential for the Vikings that is the fact that though they’ve been to four Super Bowls, they failed to gain a lead at any point in any of those four games.
And since there 4 super bowl losses they've lost 6 nfc championship games
Thanks for not piling on Arizona by including the Cardinals on this list, because they certainly deserve to be there!
Lol well for our next video, we'll be exploring the most cursed sports cities...prepare yourself 🤣
Well, the Rangers won the World Series, look like a update is needed.
I am a Browns fan and loyal to a fault obviously so the pain is real, It's definitely a glutton for punishment type of fanfare.
I think the Browns curse began when Art Modell fired the team's namesake Paul Brown after he bought the team.
As UrinatingTree would say, YOU BLEW ITT!!
The Mariners have never even been to a Series despite having had the best season record in MLB history.
