10 worst (and best) Sports cities. (Forbes)

[EricaLubarsky]

1. Atlanta, Ga.
Teams: Falcons (NFL) Braves (MLB), Hawks (NBA), Thrashers (NHL) Flames (NHL)

Title round record: 1-5 (24th)

Semifinal round record: 6-9 (23rd)

Total seasons/early playoff-round exits (or baseball 2nd place): 142/41 (20th)

Total seasons/championships: 142/1 (25th)

Years since last title: 13 (14th)

Teams lost: 1 (Flames)

Atlanta sports teams have just one championship to show for 15 final-four appearances. Its hockey and basketball teams have, combined, two conference-finals appearances in 57 combined seasons.

2. Seattle, Wash.
Teams: Seahawks (NFL) Mariners (MLB), Sonics (NBA)

Title round record: 1-3 (23rd)

Semifinal round record: 4-7 (24th)

Total seasons/early playoff-round exits (or baseball 2nd place): 105/28 (16th)

Total seasons/championships: 105/1 (25th)

Years since last title: 29 (22nd)

Teams lost: 0 (So far)

Losing baseball's expansion Pilots in 1970 doesn't count--the deal to move to Milwaukee in season two was already in place. But if the NBA's Sonics depart for Oklahoma City, Seattle will inherit the top spot.

3. Buffalo, N.Y.
Teams: Bills (NFL-AFL), Braves (NBA), Sabres (NHL)

Title round record: 2-6 (22nd)

Semifinal round record: 6-6 (12th)

Total seasons/early playoff-round exits (or baseball 2nd place): 83/33 (25th)

Total seasons/championships: 84/2 (21st)

Years since last title: 43 (23rd)

Teams lost: 1 (Braves)

Everyone knows about the Bills' four straight Super Bowl losses from 1991-94. But at least the team took two American Football League titles. The NHL's Sabres, meanwhile, are going on 38 seasons without a Stanley Cup, coming up empty in six final-four appearances.

4. Phoenix, Ariz.
Teams: Cardinals (NFL), Diamondbacks (MLB), Suns (NBA), Coyotes (NHL)

Title round record: 1-2 (21st)

Semifinal round record: 3-7 (25th)

Total seasons/early playoff-round exits (or baseball 2nd place): 82/28 (23rd)

Total seasons/championships: 82/1 (22nd)

Years since last title: 7 (8th)

Teams lost: 0

The Suns have lost six times in the NBA's Western Conference finals, and twice in the NBA finals, without a ring.

5. San Diego, Calif.
Teams: Chargers (NFL-AFL), Padres (MLB), Rockets (NBA), Clippers (NBA)

Title round record: 1-7 (25th)

Semifinal round record: 3-3 (12th)

Total seasons/early playoff-round exits (or baseball 2nd place): 87/10 (1st)

Total seasons/championships: 87/1 (23rd)

Years since last title: 45 (25th)

Teams lost: 2 (Rockets, Clippers)

San Diego teams have actually fared pretty well during early rounds of post-season play, though the Chargers' 1963 American Football League crown was the only time the city took it all. Last season's late meltdown by the Padres stands alongside the Chargers' 1982 American Football Conference championship "ice bowl" loss to Cincinnati as the town's biggest disappointments.

6. Houston, Texas
Teams: Texans (NFL), Oilers (NFL-AFL), Astros (MLB), Rockets (NBA)

Title round record: 4-4 (12th)

Semifinal round record: 5-8 (23rd)

Total seasons/early playoff-round exits (or baseball 2nd place): 126/40 (21st)

Total seasons/championships: 126/4 (18th)

Years since last title: 13 (13th)

Teams lost: 1 (Oilers)

Losing the NFL's Oilers in 1996 was no doubt severe emotional blow to football-crazy Texas fans. Baseball's Astros are still looking for their first championship since their birth in 1962; they're batting 0-for-9 in the post-season.

7. Denver, Colo.
Teams: Broncos (NFL-AFL), Rockies (MLB), Nuggets (NBA-ABA), Avalanche (NHL), Rockies (NHL)

Title round record: 4-6 (20th)

Semifinal round record: 10-11 (19th)

Total seasons/early playoff-round exits (or baseball 2nd place): 113/31 (18th)

Total seasons/championships: 113/4 (14th)

Years since last title: 7 (9th)

Teams lost: 1 (original Rockies - NHL)

The Nuggets deprived the local faithful of the last American Basketball Association title in 1976, when they were upset by the New York Nets. The Broncos' four Super Bowl losses tie them with Buffalo and Minnesota for the most ever, though wins in their last two took away some of the sting.

8. Cleveland, Ohio
Teams: Browns I (NFL), Browns II (NFL), Rams (NFL), Indians (MLB), Cavaliers (NBA), Barons (NHL)

Title round record: 7-9 (17th)

Semifinal round record: 16-9 (10th)

Total seasons/early playoff-round exits (or baseball 2nd place): 212/40 (3rd)

Total seasons/championships: 212/7 (16th)

Years since last title: 44 (24th)

Teams lost: 3 (Rams, Barons, original Browns)

Browns owner Art Model broke many hearts by Lake Erie when he moved the club to Baltimore in 1996 for a sweetheart stadium deal. The expansion version that replaced the team hasn't given fans much to cheer about yet. Meanwhile, it's 60 years and counting since the Indians last World Series victory, including seven post-season stumbles since 1995.

9. Philadelphia, Pa.
Teams: Eagles (NFL), Phillies (MLB), Athletics (MLB), 76ers (NBA), Warriors (NBA), Flyers (NHL)

Title round record: 14-18 (18th)

Semifinal round record: 32-21 (11th)

Total seasons/early playoff-round exits (or baseball 2nd place): 338/73 (12th)

Total seasons/championships: 338/14 (12th)

Years since last title: 25 (21st)

Teams lost: 2 (Athletics, Warriors)

The A's five World Series titles are the most championships by any team in Philly's history--and they left town in 1955. Just call the rest of the city's sports landscape "Bridesmaids 'R' Us." Since 1980, Philadelphia's four mainstays--the Eagles, Phillies, Flyers and Sixers, are a combined 1-for-10 in the finals.

10. Minneapolis-St. Paul, Minn.
Teams: Vikings (NFL), Twins (MLB), Timberwolves (NBA), Lakers (NBA), North Stars (NHL), Wild (NHL)

Title round record: 8-8 (13th)

Semifinal round record: 16-17 (17th)

Total seasons/early playoff-round exits (or baseball 2nd place): 160/46 (19th)

Total seasons/championships: 160/8 (10th)

Years since last title: 17 (16th)

Teams lost: 2 (Lakers, North Stars)

Take away the powerhouse Minneapolis Lakers of 1947 to 1960, and the Twin Cities' record in final round play drops to 2-7. The Vikings lost four Super Bowls between 1969 and 1976, while hockey's North Stars and Wild have no Stanley Cups to show for 19 combined playoff appearances.
