Top 10: Losingest Sports Cities

There’s nothing quite like living in Massachusetts these days: The Celtics are fresh off another NBA title, the Red Sox won the World Series in 2004 and 2007, and the Patriots are a modern dynasty. For every Boston, however, there are cities in which the fans would like to, just once, attend a championship parade.

In this list, we’re looking at the top 10 losingest sports cities -- those with the fewest championships in the four major sports, and only counting titles since the birth of the respective leagues -- NHL (1917), MLB (1903), NBA (1946), and NFL (1920). We’re only listing the losingest sports cities with at least two pro teams, and not counting titles in leagues that competed with our major four.

If a team won a championship and moved, we’re giving credit to the city in which the title was won. In the event of a tie, we’re counting the total number of years each city’s teams have been in existence. Lastly, we’re taking win totals up to the end of 2007.

Here’s a look at the top 10 losingest sports cities in the major leagues

How To: Survive Jail

If Paris Hilton can learn how to survive jail (even if she did try to escape on day four), then you sure as hell can. Whether you’re going in for a driving offense akin to Hilton’s, shaming yourself by pulling a Hugh Grant with a prostitute in the back of your SUV or pulling a Winona Ryder in Saks after you saw something you just couldn’t live without, then you need to pay the price and learn how to survive jail like a man. So pull on that florescent orange jumpsuit, pose for your mugshot, make fast friends with your burly, tattooed cellmate, and -- whatever you do -- keep your back firmly against the wall.

They're playing by the (new) rules

The forceout rule was changed at the owners' meetings in the offseason and now a receiver must have two feet inbounds on a catch.

It is one of six rule changes or additions, notably: the removal of the 5-yard incidental facemask penalty; instant replay implemented on field-goal and extra-point attempts; and teams can designate two defensive players to have radios in their helmets, although only one can be on the field.

7 Brilliant Building Conversion Projects: Superb Examples of Architectural Adaptive Reuse

Adaptive reuse used to be a tactic of necessity - people didn’t have the time, energy or money to build something new so they made the best with what they had. Today it is a way to stand out, make a statement, go bold and try something completely different.
