And for a long time, Chicago could be counted in this list. And, as I pointed out Thursday, we still would be if it were up to the Cubs and, until 2005, the White Sox. Time for our baseball teams to get on board.
MILWAUKEE-- (Brewers, Bucks) 44 years. OK, that Green Bay team is sometimes counted as Milwaukee and that would make a difference, but, Green Bay is 116 miles away. Bu the way, the Bears passed on that Aaron guy for Jay. The Bucks, with that Kareem guy won the NBA in 1971. Milwaukee was last represented in a championship game when the Brewers lost to the Cardinals in the 1982 World Series.
NEW ORLEANS-- (Pelicans, Saints), 42 years. Okay, recently snapped in 2010 by the Saints and that Drew guy who the Bears passed on for Jay.
SEATTLE-- (Mariners, Seahawks) Okay, recently snapped by the Seahawks with that outstanding qb who the Bears took a bye on so they could keep Jay, but before that, it was 42 years. The Supersonics, now Oklahoma City Thunder, won the NBA title in 1979 and came close to back-to-back Super Bowl wins except for that call near the end. Still waiting for a World Series Appearance.
