Tampa Bay Devil Rays.

Been in the MLB since 1998 and have never come to close to a winning record. Nevermind the playoffs. (*plays Jim Mora sound bite in head*). They get a gift in Scott Kazmir from the Mets, lose Josh Hamilton to drugs and problems and now he's resurfaced as a force with the Reds and in the worst move in franchise history they trade Delmon Young to Minnesota. So what's left is a team thats lost its luster fighting in the toughest division in all of baseball with the Blue Jays, Yanks and Sox.

Poor Poor DRays...

Arizona Cardinals

They play in arguably the weakest division in the NFL. They have a load of talent, Matt Leinart, Edge, Larry Fitzgerald, Anquan Boldin, Bertran Berry, Adrian Wilson, Antrel Rolle, Neil Rackers, Levi Brown, Elton Brown,Calvin Pace, Karlos Dansby, Leonard Pope.

So how is it that the team with the best players in the NFL's weakest division always comes up short? Injuries. Changes in the coaching regime. quarterback controversy. ineffective running back behind his prime. Letting undefeated Bears off the hook.

And to think the Cards even made the playoff, as a matter of fact I remember the one time they made the playoffs back when they were in the NFC East in the late 90s. They lost right away and Plummer was gone within a few years.

Poor Poor Cards...

Atlanta Hawks

Like the Cardinals and Detroit Lions no matter how many great players you put on the court, you won't win if you don't have a gameplan. The Hawks gameplan consists of not listening to the coach, going Iso on every play trying to be superman and running an offense that is usually out of synch and a defense that is worse. Marvin Williams, Josh Childress, Josh Smith, Joe Johnson, Shelden Williams, Al Horford, Acie Law. You mean to tell me you can't make the playoffs with THESE players? What the heck, its been nearly a decade and the Hawks can't squeeze their way into the picture in the traditionally weak Eastern Conference playoff buzz.

Poor Poor Hawks...

Rutgers Scarlet Knights Men Basketball

There's an old saying that goes dance with the one that brung ya. Wellabout a decade ago Rutgers fired coach Bob Wenzel who brought them to two appearances in the NCAA Tournament mainly because he couldn't get Tim Thomas to commit to Knighthood. Since then? Rutgers has produced an NBA legit in Quincy Douby but other than that they've put together sloppy teams that struggle in the Big East schedule and fail to make the Big East Tournament most years. Oh did I mention they lose on an annual basis to teams like Saint Peter's and Iona? Grant it they haven'tdanced since 1991, they probably won't for a while.

Notre Dame Fighting Irish Football

Where to start. Getting runout ofthe Sugar Bowl by JaMarcus Russell and hisCats?Hiring a new coachevery other year hoping thatthey will find instant, Joe Torre-esque success? Havinga topnotch recruiting class andwinning only 1 game?Year in and year out failing to live up to those expectations of being the New York Yankees of college football? Yep. That's pretty much the jist of things. Sure they'll get things geared toward a championship run but there's no magic in South Bend anymore, nothing to convince anyone these guys can become the gods of the gridiron.
