Default 10 worst franchises

According to foxsports

10) Clippers
9) Grizzlies
8) Atlanta Hawks
7) Twins
6) Boston Bruins
5) Detroit Lions
4) Rays
3) Arizona Cardinals
2) Royals
1) Pirates

My opinion maybe biased but I disagree with the Twins being in there (no Maple Leafs? no Bengals? no Islanders? heck in Minnesota the Wolves are run far worse than the Twins). They point to Torii and Santana, but there's not a team out there, not even the Yankees, that would pay $245mil ($105M to HUNTO, $130M to SANJO) for just those 2 guys. And of course they dont point out that the Twins made sure to keep around Mauer, Morneau, Cuddyler, and Nathan.

Heck the only thing I agree with about that list are the Pirates at #1.

AZ Cardinals? What is this based on? I mean they have been around forever. New stadium. Young exciting upside. Historic teams of the past. If this is a money thing I know Bidwell is a tightarse but....

and that long, "rich" history they have definitely earns them a place on the list. they haven't won anything but one wild card game against dallas in the nineties since the late 40's. so i know you're a fan, but their history speaks to their deserving a place on this list.

just the fact that the Twins are on this list....takes away any possibility the list can be taken seriously...

Name another franchise who's done as much with so little over the years...and while there are teams with more, there are more teams with less than the 2 WS championships they have....and if those are too long ago for them, well there's the string of division championships over the last few years

I don't have to be biased and/or a Twins fan to know they are nowhere NEAR deserving of being in the bottom 10 of even just MLB...let alone sports franchises.

The Kirby Twins should keep them off any such list. I mean Knicks have the history and that gimpy guy who played in the finals. They can't be on here. Clippers, Bungals, Lions, I can see some of those teams. But overall the list was compiled by some idiots. I would like a list that shows production/money spent for salaries. Love to see how high the Marlins rank and how low the Mets and Yanks rate.
