Pooping on your head :umad:
The Mets after 1988.... didn't make the playoffs again until 1999.
The Jets haven't made the playoffs since like 2011.

Nuggets from the moment they upset the Sonics until they drafted Carmelo
Cavs from the moment MJ hit that buzzer beater in the playoffs until they drafted Bron
Warriors from the early Run TMC years until the “We Believe” year. Then they became irrelevant again until Curry became a star player.
Phoenix post Nash til they got Chris Paul

In other sports :
️baseball-Toronto blue jays 1994-2014. Right After their 1993 World Series championship until the 2015 season, they missed the playoffs for 21 straight seasons. And during this long period, the Red Sox and the Yankees were dominating the AL East and baseball world in general, year in and year out. Being in the AL East division obviously didn’t help them.
Hockey-Toronto maple leafs 2004-2013. 9 straight seasons without playoffs
2004-23 playoff series drought : 19 years without winning one single playoff round
Hockey- Buffalo sabres 2011 to now( they haven’t made the playoffs since 2011)
Hockey-Florida panthers 1996-2022
Arizona cardinals with the exception of the Kurt Warner era
Jacksonville jaguars with the exception of the 2017 season
Cleveland browns in general
Detroit lions 1992- 2023( last year run to the NFC brought them out of irrelevancy)
NE patriots before brady(yeah i know they went to the superbowl in 1985 and 1995, but they were irrelevant locally and nationally. They were 4th in Boston/ New England ( who is not a football crazy region to begin with ) far behind the Red Sox , Celtics and even bruins. The successful Brady/Beli era and the 6 Lombardi championship trophies they won in the 21st century really elevated their brand and solidified their status in the football world.

I don't know what the Clippers were up to in the 2000s
If you told me the Clippers weren't a franchise until the 2010s I legit would've believed you

O's in the aughts.
UMd. men's hoops since ~2004, football for the 90s and 2010s.
Bengals in the 90s.
Hawks in the aughts. Even when they started making the playoffs around the end of that decade, they were still an afterthought.
Blackhawks currently trending that way (1 postseason in the last 7 years), although Bedard might change that. If anything, whatever pub they'd been getting over that stretch is for all the wrong reasons.

It's like a party that wasn't jumpin', but the biggest dope boy in the city pulled up, was like "who all up in there?!", then got out and said "I'ma fukk wit yall for a minute"the whole mls until messi pulled up
Now, MLS coverage has been bumped up to an earlier spot on sports center.
