the regular season is the preseason. regular season percentage is worthless. postseason success is all that matters.

and the timberweolves had more postseason success in 2003-2004 than the lions have had in 60 years

i was gonna say the knicks because im a bitter knicks fan but honestly there are a couple of teams that are even more pathetic

though don't get me wrong, the knicks might not be the worst but they're still bottom tier

It's got to be the Lions, not even close when you consider how many #1 picks they wasted drafting absolute busts.

Its the Ray's & its not even close.

Win or lose people still go to Lions games.
Hell people will actually say they are Lions fans.
WIN or lose nobody goes to Ray's games.
And nobody ever claims they are a Ray's fan.

And 2 more points on how its the Ray's.
I live in Florida, I'm a half hour from Tampa.
#1. They aren't even in Tampa, they play in St Pete.
#2. My team is the Seattle Mariners. Rain or shine, people show up to games. The Ray's where its 95% sunny here can't get people to go to the games. BC (before Covid) they were having an average of under 3000 people going.

1 more attendance tidbit.
They couldn't even sellout the World Series they had here against Philadelphia. I only went cause it was the World Series and I get a discount from my guy.

Blows my mind that the stadium is packed for every home game. I wouldnt go to a game if I had free tickets and parking.

Any team that doesnt try to win is worse. The lions are inept but they try and dont tank.

More than half the teams in MLB care more about keeping salary low than winning.

the sentinels have been putrid. there is no disguising that fact. nonetheless, the erstwhile tribe has been to the world series twice in the last 25 years while the loins have been to the super bowl 0 times ever in 55 years

No they didn't.
They lost at the end of both movies, they failed to win the World Series.
The 3rd movie wasn't even about making it to the World Series, it was just about the minor league club beating the major league club.

It's a "feel good" movie, after all the years of futility...Indians finally beating their AL East rival Yankees

The Indians have won 10 AL Central division titles since the last time the Lions even won a playoff game, and have been to 3 World Series in that span. They are easily ahead of the Lions.

If youd asked this question 6 years ago, I think the answer would have been the Cubs

NBA - LA Clippers

The Clippers are way more successful/relevant than the Timberwolves lol.

These are stats from an article that gave a weighted grade to all franchises and this is the timberwolves.

  • All-Time Win-Loss Percentage: 0.396 (30th)
  • Seasons Per All-Star Selection: 1.632 (26th)
  • Seasons Per Playoff Appearance: 3.444 (29th)
  • Seasons Per Finals Appearance: N/A
  • Seasons Per Championship: N/A

There wouldnt be a conversation. Hell, toss in the white Sox too if they had missed their shot as well.

At least the indians made the world series recently. In a losing effort. Id give up my left nut to see the lions just make the superbowl and lose.

In the last twenty seconds because of a fumble related to a controversial call.

Detroit would literally explode on the spot.

Whoa whoa whoa. As a padres fan we've been to world series and won a playoff series last year. Thats more success than the lions have had.

Also San Diego > Detroit as a city.

Lions fans got Barry Sanders and Calvin Johnson.

In return they have seen a lot of losing. It's a fair trade.
