Sucking the Hind One

That's what Kansas City is now officially doing. With the Saints' win yesterday, New Orleans officially became the 31st of the 31 other cities with at least 2 professional sports franchises (the big 4, MLB, NBA, NFL, NHL) to have one of its teams play in a championship game since one of KC's last did in 1985.

Below is the updated list of what other cities have had to root for since the Royals won the I-70 series. The first number is appearances is title games. The second it the number of times they won the championship. Read and weep.
