At some point during this week, the Sacramento Kings managed to win a game.
There are no teams left in the NBA that have a chance to go 0-82.
There are five that have won only one game so far: Chicago, Milwaukee, the Clippers, Utah, and Sacramento.

Friday, November 6th, 2026Your NFL loser update: week 8, 2026.
Sunday, November 1st, 2026NFL teams that still have a chance to go 0-17:
Chargers
Next week’s game is against Houston. The worthless Chargers are playing at home. Houston is currently the favorite, but I have utmost confidence in the ability of Houston sports teams to disappoint me.
After that, the worthless Chargers play Baltimore in Baltimore. B’more is also a favorite in that game (which is currently scheduled for Sunday Monday Night Football: we will see if that sticks).

Jets lose to winless Dolphins at home as season takes embarrassing turn
You. Don’t. Say.
The worthless Chargers play the Rams next Sunday. While the Rams have been struggling (they were actually a favorite of many to win the Superb Owl this year: they are 2-4 as I write this, and are currently up by a touchdown over the Raiders) they are a heavy favorite to win this game.

Loser update update (with bonus firing).
Wednesday, October 21st, 2026The Los Angeles Kings won a hockey game last night (5-2 against the Washington Capitals). This means there are no winless teams left in the NHL.
But good news, everyone! The NBA season has begun!
I’m thinking right now I’m going to wait until either Friday or Saturday to start the NBA loser update. I’m uncertain because I have to go in for my yearly eye exam on Friday, and I know they are going to dilate and otherwise mess up my eyes. I expect that to last most of the day. So it might go up Saturday morning…but it looks like there are a fair number of games tonight, so I might shoot for sometime tomorrow instead. I do want to continue the regular Friday schedule for non-NFL loser updates, though.
Bonus firing: Mike Locksley out at Maryland.
Your NFL loser update: week 6, 2026.
Sunday, October 18th, 2026NFL teams that still have a chance to go 0-17:
Miami (bye week)
Chargers
Edited to add 10/19: Well. So much for Indianapolis being the favorite over Tennessee.
Next week is a bye week for the worthless Chargers. Miami is playing the New York Jets: the Jest are favored.
In other news, Philadelphia won a hockey game, leaving the Los Angeles Kings as the only winless team in the NHL. We’ll see if this holds up until Friday.

Friday, October 16th, 2026NHL teams that still have a chance of going 0-84:
Philadelphia
Los Angeles Kings
Philadelphia has lost the first nine games of the season. Didn’t they used to be good? Anyone? McThag?
Your NFL loser update: week 5, 2026.
Sunday, October 11th, 2026NFL teams that still have a chance to go 0-17:
Miami
Tennessee
Chargers
Well, will you look at this? Miami is 0-5, but I can’t believe they are really that bad.
Someone had to win the Tennessee-Houston game, and it turned out to be Houston.
And the worthless Chargers are now 0-5 as well.
This is actually making me kind of happy.
It looks like Miami has a bye next week, and the worthless Chargers play Kansas City. KC is a heavy favorite in that game, of course. Tennessee plays Indianapolis: Indy is also a heavy favorite in that game.
Your Friday loser update.
Friday, October 9th, 2026NHL teams that still have a chance of going 0-84:
Philadelphia
Los Angeles Kings
Calgary
Still early, but I’m cautiously optimistic that we’re going to have at least one horrible team this year. And I don’t think it will be one of the Florida teams, which I hope will make McThag happy.
Your NFL loser update: week 4, 2026.
Sunday, October 4th, 2026I think maybe panic is worth considering now.
NFL teams that still have a chance to go 0-17:
Miami
Houston
Tennessee
Chargers
Tampa Bay
Houston is 0-4, which surprises me. But…is there a chance, maybe a slim one, but a chance, that the worthless Chargers could go 0-17 this year?
A man can hope, can’t he? Isn’t hope what defines humanity?
NHL teams that still have a chance of going 0-84:

Your Friday loser update.
Friday, October 2nd, 2026Two things snuck up on me while I was on the road and/or down with the crud.
The first thing was the end of the MLB season. As I stated in a previous update, there were no historically bad teams this year. The Colorado Rockies were not good, but they finished 58-104, with a .358 winning percentage, the lowest this season. The White Sox were 84-78, for a .519 winning percentage, and are in the playoffs. The City Unknown Athletics finished 64-98, with a .395 winning percentage.
And the Astros went 81-81.
The other thing that sort of snuck up on me was the start of the NHL season. I knew it was coming, but I wanted to wait until today before posting a loser update.
