Hey...they can finally claim to be best at something.

The NFL’s Buffalo Bills ended their playoff drought, dating back to 1999, when they won their final regular season game against the Dolphins on Sunday. They also needed the Ravens to lose to the Bengals in order to sneak into the AFC Wild Card game. As a result, MLB’s Seattle Mariners now have the longest playoff drought in the four major professional sports, as Ryan Divish of the Seattle Times notes.

This thread guarantees a wild card spot for Seattle this year.

The opportunity to make fun of the Mariners always outweighs the risk of thread juju....always. Besides, not only do they have Dipoto as their GM they have at least another century of futility to even out their 2001 bad karma.

at least he didn't say something stupid about a player passing away.

With Dipoto at the helm, I'm confident he'll keep this impressive streak alive

Fun fact, the Minnesota Timberwolves are next at 12 years (I think).

Baseball is the most likely sport to have a playoff drought ridden team, 12 teams in football and 16 in basketball make the playoffs for reference.

These two facts in conjunction make the Timberwolves seem like the Timberpuppies.

Nothing tops the Browns going 1-31 the past two seasons.

Mariners will replace the A’s in the AL West cellar this year.

There's something ironic about a city that receives so much rain having any kind of drought.

I work with a guy who moved from Seattle to Vegas. His wife has seasonal affective disorder, and the continual clouds and rain were a big drawback.
