What sports team has the biggest disconnect with their perceived level of success to their actual?

[Ed MOTHEREFFING G]

NY Knicks

• 2 NBA titles ever
  • None since 1973
• 8 conference titles since 1946
• major troughs of mediocrity and failure between those conference titles
• Holds on to this imaginary basketball 'mecca' title

Atlanta Hawks

• 0 nba titles
• 0 conference titles
• 0 conference championship appearances
• greatest player was traded for the ghost of danny manning
• gives itself imaginary nicknames on a regular basis
• I could continue but you've seen the thread

The Entire SEC outside of Alabama, Auburn, LSU, TN, Georgia, and FL

• The rest of the conference has a combined 5 national titles
• the rest of the conference has a combined 9 conference titles
• This is since 1933 ^

Philadelphia Eagles

• Zero superbowl wins
• 2 NFC titles
• Didn't win the NFC EAST ONCE during the entire 90s

Chicago White Sox

• 6 pennants and 3 WS since 1901
• 5 division titles...ever...hasn't won the central in 6 years
• greatest player ever frank thomas never won nothin

Oregon Ducks Football

• Zero national titles [that shiny new cupboard lookin REAL bare]
• Zero heisman winners
• Losing bowl record
• Didn't win the PAC 8/10/12 for a 40 year period after 1957
• 6 all americans...ever

Toronto Maple Leafs

• you haven't won a cup since 67
• You've never won a conference title because you haven't been good since the conferences existed
• I don't think I need to continue

Canada in the Summer Olympics

• you have been ABYSMAL at the olympics in the past 30 years [and i'm only choosing that era because its worse as I go further back]
• For point of reference in Beijing they had 332 athletes. They won 19 medals. France had 343 and won 41. For a country of your size how can you field less and win signifigantly less than the french? The FRENCH?

The historic Big East basketball

• Georgetown - 1 national title
• Syracuse - 1 national title [and they dipped]
• Villanova - 1 national title
• St. Johns - zero national titles
• UCONN - you get my respect, but you too dipped
• a lot of talk and little delivery, notorious early tournament exits, and you let the AAC and ACC run a train on your history

The San Diego Chargers

• never won a superbowl
• went to the superbowl once and got MOLLYWHOPPED in a game so bad it almost ruined the superbowl as an event
• Reguarly owned by the rest of the AFC west

They have an odd sense that they're up there with the lakers and celtics....or the spurs and rockets...or the pistons and sixers...they're just...not. The Sonics / thunder have about as much success as the Knicks...

The knicks aren't TRASH but the self overinflation rate is very high for them.

I see some canadians reading this, i know it burns.

ill say the leafs

leafs the only nhl franchise worth 1 billion, havent been to the stanley cup finals in nearly 50 years. Hockey hall of fame is in toronto, even without a cap they sucked, even with a cap they suck. Most expensive tickets, no big free agents want to even sign in toronto. Had the worst owner ever in the past 50 years in any sport harold ballard. Even studs no homo who grew up in toronto would never don a leafs jersey. Leafs been to the playoffs once since 2003 and it was in a lockout year, and they blew a 3 goal lead with 10 minutes left in game 7.

the only comparison is the chicago cubs but even then the cubs KNOW they're some losers.

Exactly.

The way their spoken of you'd think they'd at least had a more recent set of championship runs let alone a dynasty. How your teams so called elite winning franchise status gon be 99.9% because of the building and city it plays in?

Knicks easily but these SEC outcasts are catching up.

When a downtrotten ncaa program like MINNESOTA has more national titles [7] than the rest of the SEC...THAT is a MAJOR disconnect in what their place is, in the game.

 

[Super Cheech]

Knicks....then the Ducks

 

[ThaBronxBully]

I Figured The Knicks Would Be Mentioned, And While It's True That Sometimes They Are Held In High Regard Like If They Actually Won A Buncha 'Chips, The Knicks As A TEAM Shoulder Alot Of Madison Square Gardens Historic Allure So They Unfairly Get The Brunt Of The Hate In That Perspective

People Hear "The Worlds Most Famous Arena" And "Basketball Mecca" And Automatically Diss The Knicks Like Either One Of Those Titles Has To Do With Them lol

 

[Ed MOTHEREFFING G]

Knicks....then the Ducks

oregon is insane overrated..football forever but zero heismans? no titles??

Frank Thomas has a damn world series ring and 2 MVPs (1 unanimous )

edit that post and take the Chi Sox out of it while you're at it. Id rather have 1 title to show for the past 20 years than a bunch of choke jobs like the Tigers
