At least professional sports. I can't really think of a team with no significant success other than them.

the leafs can point to more playoff success in 2002 than the lions have had the last 65 years

the canucks even reached the cup finals in the last decade.

Rays have been around for just 23 years. In that time, theyve been division champs 4 times and won 2 AL pennants.

Lions have been around for the entire damn Super Bowl era (starting in 1967) and in that time, have been division champs 3 times while never going to the Super Bowl. Theyve won a single playoff game in that span.

Their only bright spot has been Barry Sanders, arguably the greatest RB of all time and be retired early to get the fuck outta there.

Tampa Bay Ray's

The Rays have been to 2 world series in the last 20 years. Also, the have one of the best development systems in all of baseball and maintain a certain level of success on the field with nothing.

The lions have gone winless, are possibly going winless this year, and have never been to a superbowl.

Yeah, but the Rays at least make the playoffs & do well. In the modern era, the Lions are 1-12 with their only play off game victory being 30 years ago.

I will go with the Pittsburgh Pirates

Had like 20 losing seasons in a row, cheap ownership, and no playoff wins in 30 years and no championships for like 40.

Caveat. They won a single playoff 'series" against the reds like 8 years ago but it was one game and not a real series.

The Browns relocated from Cleveland to Baltimore, became a new franchise as the Ravens, and promptly won a Super Bowl within 4 years. A very Cleveland Browns move to win a Super Bowl when you are no longer the Cleveland Browns.

Id still rate them higher than the Lions, though.

Bad as of late, but theyve had plenty of success in the past, including 3 World Series wins and 7 pennants. They were really strong in the 70s.

The lions are an original nfl team. Before the superbowl they were beastly nfl champs many times. However in the sb era they havent done jack. Been a fan my whole life and other than 92 they sucked for all of them. The browns are a close 2nd but they left cleveland for a few years. We've been around forever.

Yeah, the Lions are really bad. They have been perpetual also-rans for the better part of six decades. The last time they so much as sniffed a Championship was in 92 when they got absolutely clowned by Washington, which easily beat my Bills in the Super Bowl.
They broke perhaps the best RB ever in Barry Sanders and one of the greatest WRs: Calvin Megatron Johnson. They just traded their long-running franchise QB Matt Stafford to the Rams for future picks and QB Jared Goff(who is truly wretched) because both Stafford and the Lions agreed that the Lions would likely not be competitive in what remained of his career. Stafford is balling out like never before in a offense better than any the Lions could have ever built, while the Lions are popping open the champagne because they tied the Steelers.

they can drafter a QB this year. don't think any are rated to be a number 1 pick but they have the rams pick so they can take one in the last 1st round. their pick might be the number 1 WR who whoever the number 1 pick is supposed to be. they need help all around

The Lions havent won a single post season game in 30 years. And that is their only post season win during the Super Bowl era. And theyre attempting to be the first team to have multiple winless seasons in their history.

The Mariners have fielded several good teams, including the 116 win team from 2001.

Detroit used to be top tier in sports teams, but most of them are pretty shitty now. The Pistons won some NBA titles (last one about 15 years ago, and the Detroit Tigers are usually pretty shit now (but they've at least won some championships (not in about 40 years though). Red wings have won tons of Stanley Cups and are still pretty consistent. The Lions though - they've pretty much always been shit. They had some winning seasons back in the 90's, but it's a death sentence to play there in the NFL. They wasted Barry Sanders and tons of other players. Matt Stafford was blessed to get the fuck out of there, and Goff is fucked (he probably retires soon - even at his age).

Lions are 25th of 32 in franchise win percentage in NFL. And none of those are as bad as the Timberwolves.

If you just count the years they were both around, the Buccs only passed Lions wins this year.
