You guys may not be paying attention enough to the NHL...
My beloved Islanders have been reduced to a laughingstock. The worst thing is that it isn't a bunch of bad players or a bad GM or a bad coach you can just dump - it's a certifiable nutbag owner, and as we know, those don't exactly go quietly into the night, so he probably isn't going anywhere for a while.
But hey, at least we have a goaltender for the next 15 years....

but at least they have had multiple winning seasons since and even a few playoff appearances. I don't know how anyone could say a franchise is worse off than the Lions right now in the NFL. think about it, most teams fire the general manager after he screws up...but that ownership is going to be loyal and just endure every shitty decision Millen makes no matter what! where else could someone have made the decisions that guy has made the past few seasons and still have his job?
only reason I think Lions more than Royals is b/c its more difficult in baseball, with all the teams that do take on the big salaries and when you do get talent in a small market its hard to keep...(royals did have beltran, damon, etc). In the NFL, a high draft pick, a couple key acqusitions and a new coach can get the franchise turned around...meanwhile the Lions have been drafting high, changing coaches, and spending money for years and this is what they've come up with? another 0-5 start, too pathetic.
also, at least the Royals have a world series championship in it's history and made the WS two times, while the Lions haven't made the Super Bowl. So no winning ever, horrible owner, horrible management, and they forced the franchise's most prolific player of all-time into retirement.
