Having a chat with zulu_nation8 and Jibba, we're trying to think of any sporting team that is equivalent to the New York Knicks. This means;

- Most Money
- Biggest City
- Worst Management
- Overpaid
- Underperform

Any ideas?

Maybe this year's Real Madrid, can't think of any other examples in the same ballpark.

Cubs, Mets (though the mets are good so far this year, I have faith they'll lose a ton). Also Clippers

No teams can come close to the failure that is the New York Knicks. No other team is awful in all aspects like the New York Knicks are.

Well, maybe the Raiders. But they don't have an enormous payroll spent on worthless players. I think the closest you can get is maybe the New York Mets. Enormous budget, but no results. But they're not terrible like the Knicks are.

But when you talk about terrible franchises like the Lions or Raiders, they're really not that bad considering they really don't give a shit. Fans already have given up on them.

And we have everyone's favorite, the Chicago Cubs. Fans'll never give up hope, but they'll never win.

I think it would be the raiders, although they don't meet the "biggest city" criteria, they sure know how to blow a bunch of money on shitty first round picks, and their owner is psychotic.

Any sport? I'd go with the Toronto Maple Leafs (hockey). We're disgustingly bad but I think we pull in the most fans/money in the NHL. We sometimes buy good players but then they become terrible as soon as they get here. So I think that covers your criteria.

I noticed I said 'we' like one of those douchebags but whatever.

I wouldn't say they have the worst management since the golden state warriors are in the same league as them

It's hard to compare across sports, since the NBA has a cap and not all other sports do. Plus the Knicks are currently 29th out of 30 teams in payroll (which will change before next year), but still won't be the highest.

The Clippers and Knicks had the exact same record last year, but the Knicks were clearly and openly playing for next year all season long.

But for recent history it still has to be the Mets or Cubs.

In all seriousness though, no other team manages to spend that much $$ and still be one of the worst teams.

Washington Redskins. Dan Snyder is so freaking rich that he can just throw around contracts like what he gave to Albert Haynesworth.

I'd say Washington DC is a pretty big city. Not the biggest, but it's big and famous.

OH DEAR GOD DAN SNYDER one of the worst owners ever, possibly. Then, for the past few seasons, you have a head coach, coordinators, GM, and most of the front office that just isn't that good. They brought in some new people for this season, so I'll wait and see before I judge, but seriously, the past two years have been awful. I'm a Broncos fan, though, so I will always have faith in Mike Shanahan.

Overpaid: kind of goes with the first point, but just look at Haynesworth's situation. You also got various other players that don't deserve what they're earning (DeAngelo Hall, for example)

Underperform: Haynesworth sucked and got injured. Campbell sucked and got traded. Hall is a mediocre DB, nowhere near what he was back in Atlanta. LaRon Landry can kind of hit hard, I guess, but he doesn't play smart and he can't tackle solidly. Clinton Portis hasn't been good for several years now. And the team as a whole is the paragon of mediocrity. Prior to last year, their record was 32-32 for the previous four season. And last season, they went 4-12.

Too much money, nothing to show for it.

The Knicks single handedly made me disinterested in basketball, and I used to be a huge basketball fan.

The Cubs, they haven't won it in over 100 years!! Not only that but they suck year after year. Atleast the knicks have seasons where they compete in the playoffs. In 2008 when the cubs were favored to win it they were swept by the team with the worst record out of all the teams in the playoffs!

Redskins are a good example since they have the biggest payroll and are bottom feeders. in hockey, Toronto. In Baseball, uh....sorta the Cubs, in soccer, Real Madrid/Man U (they do well but they're never the best IMO). In INTERNATIONAL soccer, England, no doubt.

But in the end none have the #1 resources and come in dead last like the knicks do. #1 resourced teams do well, maybe not the best or where they should, but not at the bottom (Redskins are closest)
