NFL teams that still have a chance to go 0-17:
Kansas City
NY Jets
Miami
Cleveland
Tennessee
Houston
New York Football Giants
da Bears
New Orleans
Carolina
The worthless Chargers are 2-0.
The worthless Bills are 2-0.
Houston is 0-2.
I think it is time to start panicking.
More seriously, who do I think has a shot at the Owen 17 record? I can see Cleveland finishing 0-17. There’s historical precedent for that.
But something makes me think that one of the New York teams is more likely to finish out the season with no wins. I don’t know what is making me think that, and I could be wrong, but right now that’s the way I would bet.
In other news:
The Chicago White Sox are at 57-94, for a .377 winning percentage. That projects out to about 101 losses. And since my last update, they have been mathematically eliminated (the best kind of eliminated) from post-season play.
And the Colorado Rockies are at 41-109, for a .273 winning percentage. Right now, that projects out to about 118 losses. At this point, they can’t break the record set by the 2024 White Sox, but they can still tie it.
Also mathematically eliminated: the Pirates, the Nationals, the Angels, and the Twins. And the Tigers are at the top of their division, though they haven’t clinched yet. I’m hoping pigpen51 is happy.
The Tigers are a very good team. But they have a long way to go with many problems, just like any other MLB team. Lately they have been running either very hot or very cold.
At least the Lions put things together last weekend and won, convincingly over the Bears. And thank the good Lord that I hate hockey and basketball, or I would have to try and get excited about those other two Detroit teams.
