Washington D.C is the worst sports town on Earth.

Art Modell is a bastard, but so is the guy who stole the Colts from Baltimore. So uh...two wrongs don't make a right, but...

terps with two final fours, nc and a bowl win
gtown with a ff
gw and gm both with a ff
dc united with a 'chip
wiz with 4 playoff appearances
caps with 5 playoff appearances
skins with 3 playoff games
va tech with 8 10+ wins seasons

all in the last decade

we're in a prolonged lull, but im thinking the case for the worst sports city doesn't hold water.

Don't forget all those Mystics "Best Attendance" banners.

It's funny. My wife, who is not from DC, loves me in part BECAUSE I'm such a diehard DC sports fan. It is not that she cares a whiff about sports, she doesn't. It is more that, every year, she watches me generate unbridled enthusiasm and optimism for the Skins and Wizards (terps, hoyas, etc), knowing full well that I know I'm about to have my heart broken. She loves that my loyalty is such that I go on rooting anyway.

I guess she figures that, year after year, if I can continue to be loyal to the Bullets/Wizards/Skins/DC United/Terps/Hoyas etc, I will always be loyal to her.
