Yeah, I might be rubbing it in a little bit, but I had been thinking about starting this thread for a while.

Anyway:

Denver Broncos: January 31, 1999
Boston Red Sox: October 28, 2007
Boston Celtics: the instant this post was made.

Less than ten years in the worst case scenario--not bad at all.

Does any city top that in the history of sports? What a run!

Since 2001, Boston has won SIX titles (two for the Sox, three for the Pats and one for the Celts).

I hope the Celtics do a around the state/New England tour like the Red Sox did with the '04 title.
would be great for the rest of the Massachusetts/New England residents. :luv:

It's hard to define "winning it all" for a soccer team, but I can tell you how long it's been since the Chicago Fire won each of the three major trophies in US soccer.
MLS Cup - 1998
MLS Supporters' Shield - 2003
Lamar Hunt US Open Cup - 2006



As for my other teams...

Minnesota Twins - 1991
Minnesota Vikings - :shake:

And the Mavs can go fuck themselves because they're never winning one.

Man, even if I count Nova in 85 and PSU in 86 it's still 22 years since the last title.

Wow, that makes me realize that counting college football and basketball it's been a combined 143 seasons that I have rooted for teams that have not won a title. It's seriously fucking sickening. I need the Phillies to pull it off this year.

See, the problem is that in the 100 seasons for the pro sports there has been roughly 25 seasons where the teams had a legit shot to win it and haven't. 0-25. It's ridiculous.

If there was a Browns-Eagles Super Bowl or an Indians-Phillies World Series, the world would end.
