My calculations put us at 9, after the Bruins and before the Sonics;

Seasons in playoffs 6
losing seasons 63
non-playoff seasons 80
finals losses 1
finals losses in past 25 years 0
soul-sucking moments 2
seasons without a title 60
winning seasons 23
playoff seasons 6

= Misery Index of 4.08

9. ARIZONA CARDINALSLast title: 1947 (NFL) Seasons: 86 Playoffs: 6 Winning seasons: 23 Finals losses: 1 (0 in last 25 years)
Low point: Pick one.
Soul-sucking moments: Namath choosing the AFL over the Cardinals, vs CHI MNF 2006
Pain & Suffering rating: 4.08 (approximately equal to 8 Buddy Ryans)

Can't make a better showing in this rating? More evidence of misery.

THings Are looking up. According to A bombs calcs I jumped from #1 to # 9 on the misery index when I bailed on the Bills after Norwoods miss.
Although I'm still a Sabres fan. Maybe this'll be their year.

I think their formula needs work. Many of those teams on the Suck list have more than 50% playoff seasons. How can you consider your team sucking if at least you know you are going to the playoffs about half the time.

I guess they don't know the true definition of "suck" like we do.

Cardinals:

Soul Sucking Moment: This team has been so bad for so long that ESPN, NFL Network, and all other major media outlets REFUSE to include the Cardinals in anything thing they do. Even a on a misery ratings article.

Frankly I'm offended that ESPN is ignoring our misery and talking about higher profile teams.

What are we, the Darfur of the NFL?
