Big 4 Sports Trivia

[soxfan1468927]

Can you name the franchise with the largest gap between championships in each of the Big 4 sports?

This is the gap between multiple championships, not a list of the longest drought. For example, the Indians haven't won since 1948, however their largest gap between championships is 28 years (1920-1948).

Also, NFL championships are included. ABA and AFL championships are not.

Red Sox in baseball is incorrect, they have the second longest gap
Bears in NFL is incorrect, they have the 7th longest gap

Colts was longer than the Bears, however it is still not the longest. It ranks 3rd

Nope, like I said in the original post, this is not current drought but longest gap between championships. The Red Sox 86 year gap is second in MLB history. Obviously the Cubs have the longest drought.

Rams??? Like 50 or 51 til 99??

Correct! The Rams had a 48 year gap (1951-1999) and are the longest in the NFL.

Here are the top 5 in the NFL:
1. Rams: 48 (1951-1999)
2. Redskins: 40 (1942-1982)
3. Colts: 36 (1970-2006)
4. Giants: 30 (1956-1986)
5. Packers: 29 (1967-1996)

Hooray!!! Now I have to think about the NBA...

 

[soxfan1468927]

Rams also hold the distinction as being one of only two teams in the Big 4 to win a championship in 3 different cities. Cleveland in 1945, Los Angeles in 1951, and St. Louis in 1999. Braves are the other team with wins in Boston in 1914, Milwaukee in 1957, and Atlanta in 1995.

Yep. The Rams were good. In the long ago past.....

NBA has had very few champs... Has to be either the Warriors or the 76ers... Ill go with the warriors because I think they were like 20/21 years. 76ers I think were 17 or 18 years.

Warriors have the 2nd longest at 19 years, 1956-1975.
