Of course, the correct answer is "The Jets are the most disappointing sports franchise of all time"

He had the right city!

If we're talking football, the Vikings have been to four super bowls and lost. More recently (like, in the last 12 years) been to three NFC championship games and lost all three.

I don't count the Cubs because the expectation IS for them to not win. I'd be disappointed if they finally did win!

What about the Bills? They went 4 years in a row!

Yeah, but their history is pretty inept aside from that.

Oh well if we're talking about teams that should do something but always let you down, I think the early 90s Buffalo Bills have that locked down. I mean 4 consecutive Super Bowl losses? It would be hard to do that on purpose!

Yeah, but those were like the only four years the Buffalo Bills were ever good.

From 89-99 they made the playoffs all but a couple years.

But yeah, other than that.

Playoff appearances: 1974, 1980, 1981, 1988, 1989, 1990, 1991, 1992, 1993, 1995, 1996, 1998, 1999

I mean you'd think ONE of those four Super Bowls, the other team would have had a bad day. It wasn't even like it was the same team every time, they were all different!

The sad part is that things got progressively worse for the Bills in the Super Bowls.

Well, the only Super Bowl they even came close to winning of the four, it's their own fault they lost!

Poor Scott Norwood.

What about the Cleveland -- well, anything, really? We get a good team or a good player, have a few good years, and then go right back in the basement.

Disappointment is the feeling of dissatisfaction that follows the failure of expectations or hopes to manifest.

They can only disappoint if you have expectations.

Cleveland's had some times in their history where they had some expectations or hopes of winning and fell short. The Indians went to two World Series in the 90s! The Browns were routinely victimized by Elway, and the Cavs by Jordan! Plus, you had the LeBron era in Cleveland.

Also, probably.

I mean the Bills did have the 0-4 Superbowl run, but the Jets build a Superbowl caliber team at least every 5 years or so, only to not make the postseason or lose immediately.

Only the Vikings can compare imo.

The guy that does the afternoon show on the local (Detroit) sports radio station grew up a Giants fan and always has something bad to say about them. Eli, Coughlin, the franchise, everything. I think Giants fans just hate themselves.

That is not the expectation of the fans. We have a long history of selective delusions.

As a Cubs fan, I remember saying on many occasions "well, at least we'll get them next year!"

Derp.

In Football I would say the Bills
Remember this season when they started 3-0, 4-1 and finished 6-10?

Yeah, me too.

Don't forget how they beat the Patriots and everyone was like "ok, this team is legit".

and then they gave money to their players and immediately lost a ton of games.

In 2008, we were 5-1 before ending the season 7-9.

It hurts to be a Bills fan sometimes.
