Championship Drought: Cities That Have Gone 20 Years or Longer

From Yahoo!  "Championship starved cities: 20 years or longer without a title."

Just imagine how bad Chicago would be if we only had the Cubs.  Last one in '07 and I'm not talking about 2007.  Go to 1907.

SAN DIEGO--  (Chargers, Padres)  52 years now.  The Chargers won the 1963 AFL Crown and the Padres twice went to the World Series with Tony Gwynn, but lost.  (In 1984 they advanced to the World Series by beating our Cubs.)  The Chargers were in one Super Bowl.

CLEVELAND---  (Browns, Cavaliers and Indians)  51 years now.  Browns won NFL Championship in '64.  And, even Mr. Wonderful, the James, couldn't get the Cavs the NBA Championship on Tuesday.

BUFFALO---  (Bills and Sabres)  50 years now.  Despite four straight Super Bowl appearances and 3 Stanley Cup Finals.  Last champion, the Bills winning the AFL Championship in 1965.

And, There Are More.  --Cooter
