So ESPN did an article on this, and all three Seattle Sports teams are on it, as well as the Vancouver Canucks. (http://sports.espn.go.com/espn/page2/story?page=schoenfield/070328&lpos=spotlight&lid=tab6pos2)
The Sonics are 9th, Canucks are 10th, Seahawks are 14th, and the Mariners are 19th. (For some reason, this list stops at 46.
For the Sonics, the only soul-sucking moment we had was losing to Dikembe in the playoffs. I don't know, how about Kemp forcing his way out, then getting a Vin Baker who looked like something for one year and the totally sucking for the rest of his life? Or how about a guy nick-named Mr. Sonic leaving the organization for our "Rival" team.
For the Seahawks, they of course mentioned the Superbowl which I'm glad, and they kid that it's 14 blown calls, which I'm also glad for, because it was about that many calls, not just 3 as stupid people like to point out.
For the Mariners its of course the many years of futility and then our stars leaving, then the 116 game season where we couldn't even make it to the World Series.
For the Canucks, oddly enough, just the fact that they sucked a lot got them the 10 spot.
Anyways, its a good idea, and I'm glad that Seattle got its recognition, though Philly did get the 3,4, and 32 spots.
Comparison, 9+14+19 = 42, 3+4+32 = 39, so Philadelphia wins in this comparison. Oh well.

Losing to the Nuggets was the worst sports related experience of my lifetime. It hurt far more than breaking my wrist when I was actually playing basketball.
I think the ESPN list is way off the mark. It's also far too long. It covers over 1/3 of all franchises in those 4 sports.
