It takes a lot to stink at sports for over two decades, but the Columbus Blue Jackets and Cleveland Browns share similar threads running through them.
Since their first season in 2000-2001, the
Before detailing the Browns’ decades of disappointment, let me make clear the point is not to kick teams when they are down, but to discoverthey’re always down. Is there a thread of traceable woebegon that weaves through all hurting franchises? Yes, the Jackets have been unfortunate in the draft lottery, failing to ever secure the No. 1 pick. Yes, they have failed to land an elite center, like Sidney Crosby or Connor McDavid, to finally off-ramp much of the misfortune. And Johnny Gaudreau's move here notwithstanding, Columbus is not an automatic destination spot for young free agents who want the bright lights of New York , beach scene of south Florida or celebrity action of Los Angeles .
The Coyotes arrived in Phoenix from Winnipeg in 1996 and drew large crowds at downtown America West Arena. Then the economy changed, payroll skyrocketed and the team struggled financially without having its own arena. Former Akron Beacon Journal columnist Marla Ridenour summed up the Browns’ pitiful situation in four words: “Bad hiring and drafting.”
“I’m still waiting for Kevin Stefanski to prove that part, too,” Ridenour said. “They have ended up with all these coaches the players didn’t respect. Hue was the worst, a total phony. The only people who believed in him were the ones who hired him.”"You have to build family and care about each other and play for each other," Ridenour said."That was not the case for most of the expansion era.
Kansas City Star sports reporter Blair Kerkhoff described the dreadful years of 2000 to 2012 as a “really rough time.” David Finoli has written 36 books on Pittsburgh sports. That's a lot of typed words addressing the baseball team’s good and bad.
