Reply #14: I'm not from Cleveland, but I've got to agree with you [View All]

I should probably say from the top that I'm a Broncos fan (:hide:) so I've had the chance to witness (and hear about) the pain and disappointment of Cleveland sports fans from a different perspective. All the many Cleveland fans I've spoken with over the years about those mid-80s playoff tilts have been great fans and good sports, incidentally. I think they should be at the top of the list for sure.

A city that wasn't mentioned that perhaps should be (certainly above Denver, I would say, but then I'm biased) is Kansas City. The Royals won a championship in '85, but that's the only championship they've had since the Super Bowl in 1969. They're only a two-sport city now, but they have had major league teams in all four sports during that time. They've also lost three teams in just over forty years: the MLB's A's to Oakland, the NBA's Kings to Sacramento, and the NHL's Kansas City Scouts to Colorado/New Jersey.
