judman Posted June 10, 2010 Share Posted June 10, 2010 On the right hand side of the page is a slideshow (52 slides). 52 players w/o championships Four of the 52 are Buffalo Bills: Jim Kelly OJ Simpson Bruce Smith Thurman Thomas The one that surprised me the most was Don Mattingly. I am obviously not a baseball fan. With the number of titles owned by the Yanks, not one for Mattingly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mattingly was unfortunate to have starred during one of the Yanks' few down periods, the two decades between 1978 and 1996... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

judman Posted June 11, 2010 Author Share Posted June 11, 2010 TO was on the list too, so that really could be 5 Bills (if you want to count him) 5 out of 52 is pretty much 10%. That is both amazing and pathetic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By "down period" you mean having more wins than every other team? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RJ (not THAT RJ) Posted June 11, 2010 Share Posted June 11, 2010 By "down period" you mean having more wins than every other team? Ah, a Yankee fan, with all the charm and humility the species usually offers. No, by "down period" I mean years in which the Yanks won no World Series Championships.

No, by "down period" I mean years in which the Yanks won no World Series Championships. Except I am not a Yankees fan. I get sick of Yankees fans complaining about how hard that period was just because they didn't get a championship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Dean Posted June 11, 2010 Share Posted June 11, 2010 Pretty good list, although I would have preferred they list only players who are no longer playing. Alex Ovechkin? Really? I'm not saying he isn't great, he clearly is. But he's very early in his career. Not exactly in the spirit of a list like that, IMO. Archie Manning belongs on that list, too.

KD in CA Posted June 14, 2010 Share Posted June 14, 2010 No question. He could take Michelle Kwan's spot. A 5-time world champion on a list of players w/o a championship is pretty stupid, regardless of her Olympic history. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
