Who will be the next team to end a 50 year championship drought?
Transcript
00:00all right we got a team on this list and i think this is a fun exercise
00:04who's the next nicks 50 plus year drought in the same city and i stress the same city so like
00:12the
00:12arizona cardinals haven't been in arizona for 50 years so they were left out but i've got 18 teams
00:17and i've put them into tears john okay who's the next team to snap a 50 year drought tier four
00:26scraping the bottom teams that are nowhere near getting it done the new york jets the miami
00:32dolphins the cleveland browns the vancouver canucks and i threw in the atlanta falcons and phoenix suns
00:40as well so do i have to pick one of those teams or can i wait for the next tier
00:45this would be
00:46interesting if you were taking a long shot who would you take from that group to win a title
00:54um oh they all suck i know it's gonna get easier i guess i would say maybe atlanta
01:02with with the new coaching staff i i do think that they're going to be better in the coming years
01:10i don't know if michael pennix ever becomes a true franchise quarterback but they got
01:18bijon they've got talent around him i don't know of that group i would say atlanta 80 to one
01:27okay the best odds to do it tier three i'm just not seeing it maybe it's a fringe playoff team
01:33but
01:33not going to do much more than that tier three includes the minnesota vikings the cincinnati
01:39bangles tom hold your comments the atlanta hawks toronto maple leafs cleveland guardians san
01:47diego padres and philadelphia flyers who are 51 years into their drought
01:54well i mean san diego you look at the lineup and you're like man look at the payroll you're like
02:00wow they go for it i think they're fighting for a wild card spot right now i guess i would
02:06be in
02:06between and i don't know maybe my default is the nfl teams because you have these teams that go
02:11worst to first quite frequently or at least in their division minnesota is interesting because
02:17of kevin o'connell and now with um a quarterback battle well it doesn't sound like much of a battle
02:26yeah i don't know uh but cincinnati cincinnati's been there with joe burrow joe burrow can't stay
02:32healthy they can't protect them defensively they they still blow so i guess i would say
02:41minnesota vikings tom you think the bangles should be moved up yeah definitely i mean
02:47i think joe burrow along with chase can carry a team all the way to the super bowl if they
02:52stay
02:53healthy and the rest of the team stays relatively healthy like most nfl teams like i would definitely
02:57put them in tier two i know cbs did a nfl version of this yesterday and they had the bengals
03:03listed as
03:04number two of all nfl teams likely to end a drought well you have 58 years for cincy they're 22
03:10to one
03:11to win the super bowl they have the best odds of any team in this group my issue is some
03:15of the
03:15things john said the offensive line has made it hard to keep burrow upright in their defense they
03:20lost trey hendrickson it continues to be an issue so i have the maybe they make the playoffs but i
03:24don't
03:24think they're a serious title contender tier two now here's where we enter teams that they're not
03:29the favorites but i think they're going to be playoff teams and i think they could if enough
03:34things break right snap a 50 year drought the buffalo sabers finally got into the postseason
03:43yeah the milwaukee brewers oh the brew crew 90 wins plus every season it feels like especially if
03:49they go oh they got a flamethrower now too was it miserowski is that how you say they see 105
03:54miles
03:55an hour the other day yeah so they've they've won a lot of regular season games they kind of
03:59stall out around that nlds nlcs but a big bold trade deadline i think they're in the hunt
04:08the san diego chargers the detroit lions those teams round out the tier okay so i mean my heart says
04:17the detroit lions but you got to look at okay san diego whatever we think of harbaugh he is a
04:26good
04:27football coach but is justin herbert going to be is he going to ultimately be able to take that step
04:33he's got all the talent in the world but it comes down to can he protect the ball in the
04:38playoffs i
04:38don't think he'll actually be able to do it they've been plagued by injuries the last couple of years as
04:44well i'm buffalo i i think they're still a ways away even though they did make the playoffs and
04:50they have jumped the wings i said they won the atlantic yeah a good tough atlantic hey good for
04:55them um i guess i'd have to say milwaukee okay they have the best odds i think milwaukee especially
05:02with i know there's more than just miserowski is in their pitching staff but they they finally have
05:08what looks like a really good pitching staff and can they match that with the bats yeah to me they're
05:16the nl version and a better version of the guardians where they do a lot of little things right they
05:23run
05:23the bases they go first to third they can steal bags they pitch they do the little things well they're
05:29scrappy they're scrappy but they win more than cleveland which is why i have them a tier up they're 12
05:34to
05:34one to win the world series lions are 17 to one they have a 68 year drought don't need to
05:40tell
05:40people in the city that yeah john how likely is it that they are the next knicks um well i
05:47think it's
05:48possible for them to be there this year they got the last place schedule and if if the offensive line
05:57gels if they get some chips to fall their way in the secondary and that means kirby joseph
06:04is healthy more than he's not brian branch is back earlier and they get terry on arnold maybe
06:11even anis rakestraw i know dan talked about anis rakestraw last week like now is the time he's
06:16i think he's had what a total of like 30 snaps in his career but when you read his scouting
06:22report
06:23i know doug was doing it the other day you're like well that's the guy that we want that's the
06:26stuff they need and so if he's able to be a kind of a shadow of that even i think
06:33there's a chance the
06:34lions could make that happen tier one is one team oh the team most likely to end a 50 year
06:43drought
06:44the buffalo bills huh they flirted with it they've been in that afc title game damn near every year
06:52consistently on the edge of finally breaking through yeah everybody knows about the four
06:57superbowls too but this this this group has been on the cusp yes they've had their opportunities and
07:04okay so in terms of skill players i do think it was a huge opportunity for them to go get
07:14dj more
07:15and for to pair him with josh allen keon coleman still being on the roster seems a little awkward
07:21after you think the things that they had to say about him after after but but james cook in the
07:26backfield josh allen as we all know he's got an mvp under his belt um offensive line wise i think
07:33they're so offensively i think they're they're ready to rock and roll it's going to be can they stay
07:39healthy defensively that's really been the big issue ed oliver up front greg russo i know they've
07:45made some additions so it's it's just a matter of can they stay healthy enough in the second oh i'm
07:52sorry basically in the defense yeah up and down that defense uh bradley chubb the veteran they brought
07:57in tj parker right one of the rookies that they drafted make that front a little more dangerous
08:03do you agree with me they are the team most likely in all of sports to break a drought
08:10yeah they are the most likely which probably means they won't be the one okay so then that's
08:16the question we pose to you guys who is it 18 teams who have been in the same city for
08:2250 plus years
08:23without a title bottom tier canucks jets dolphins browns falcons sons tier three is vikings bangles
08:32hawks maple leafs guardians padres and flyers in the hunt the chargers lions brewers and sabers
08:40and the buffalo bills tier one title conversation all with 50 plus years of a championship drought and
08:48and if i'm sitting there going okay i'm not just going to take the bills because they're in tier one
08:53and i'm going to go in all facets all tiers
08:59i think i'd have to step down to tier two and see the the brew crew okay the milwaukee brewers
09:04i think
09:04they're the ones out of this group of of professional franchises and i don't i don't know if it's one
09:12of
09:12these teams this year right that's the other thing but after 57 years i think the odds are that i
09:19would
09:19take milwaukee all right we want to hear from you guys we'll collect some feedback two four eight
09:23five three nine ninety seven ninety seven it's ninety seven one
