What year was LeBron on the Cavs and West I think it was, was f***ing his mom? Yeah that Cavs team. It was the last year of Lebron's tenure in Cleveland. Delonte West is rumored to have had an affair with his mother and some were saying that was the reason for Lebron's statistical decline during that season. Of course, all parties involved deny the rumors. LeBron appeared to absolutely tank his last game in the playoffs against the Celtics, to the point where the announcers were discussing it.

There's no doubt that's exactly what he did. There's also very little doubt that SOMETHING was going on behind-the-scenes with Lebron. Though it's more than likely it had more to do with the front office and Lebron rather than a player on the team.

That Cleveland Indians season, where they actually made it to the world series, but by god what a mess of a regular season. 1) Vaughn' lost his velocity until playoffs, not living up to his big contract after his rookie sucess 2) Dorn was a fiancial failure as an owner, we had to trade our best player in Parkman to the rival White Sox just to cover payroll, 3) His replacement Rube Baker couldn't throw the ball back to the pitcher 4) Manager Lou Brown has a heart attack mid-season 5) Hayes was hurt for a good part of the year 6) Cerrano found Budhism and his power was gone 7) Rachel Phelps buys the team back, wanting to once again relocate them to Miami
How the hell did this team win a pennant?

Isn't this true of the Netherlands national football team since, well, ever? Any Dutch posters able to correct me on that? I've heard that, but for sure this year. I think it was something like Huntelaar and Van der Vaart hate each other, as did Sneijder and Van Persie. The Miami Marlins this year. As bad as Loria looks for the trade he made this offseason, he also forced a lot of the moves on his baseball people (they never wanted Ozzie for one, weren't thrilled with getting Buerhle or going after Bell... who Loria wanted for years) Then it all hit the fan where pretty much everybody on the team hated each other.

Not to mention that Harry Doyle mid-season was drunk off his ass while calling the games.

Not to mention that they forfeited the first game of a doubleheader when Hayes and Vaughn started fighting each other.

The Oakland A's of the early 70's got into a lot of locker room brawls.
The 1919 Chicago White Sox did not get along with one another.

Hearing about these teams makes me glad the cardinals tend to stay level headed.

The current Detroit Lions are brimming with talent, and piss it away in every way imaginable.
I fully believe you could write books about just how much talent the Lions have pissed away in the last couple decades.

Which year were the Red Sox referred to as "25 players, 25 cabs"?

New York Islanders from 1995-Present. Especially the Mike Milbury GM years. He is possibly the worst hockey GM of all time and defiantly in the top 5 of all sports.

Que? But as for the question at hand, I kind of want to say the Clippers, but I think its just the owner finding a loophole and earning on an investment and not a case of the dreaded Cincinnati Bungleitis.
