I don't mean "Teams that haven't won the title in forever". I mean teams that flat out suck currently and have next to zero hope in the near future.
Like the New York Knicks.

No matter who they have coaching or on the squad, the answer is always the Redskins. Then. Now. Forever.

The Cleveland Browns are named after the color of shit for a reason.
I know that's not how they got the name, but they are, and have been a joke, almost forever.

Mets are up there.
I'll give a vote to the Angels too. Have one of the greatest ever and the owner doesn't spend despite being a billionaire...oh, and he's furloughing more employees then most.

I think I read that, in the Super Bowl era, the Detroit Lions haven’t had consecutive double digit win seasons. And that streak may be longer than that.

The Bengals always seem to suck every year or collapse the odd year they get a half decent record

NHL has a ton of parity, so nobody from there really. I'd say it's probably an MLB team where even the "underdogs" are either high payroll teams (Nationals) or incredibly well-run organizations (Rays, A's). The two that stand out are the Mariners and the Orioles. The Mariners haven't made the playoffs in almost 20 years, and while they have very good prospects in Kelenic and J-Rod, they aren't projected to make the playoffs anytime soon. The O's have a much more uphill climb. They were a playoff team a few times in the past 15 years, but they are just now filling the prospect cupboard and their big league team is just trash. They also have the unenviable task of being in the division with the Sox and Yanks who have bought their way into contention consistently the last 20 years as well as the analytics-savvy Rays who keep fielding good teams. The Jays also are loaded with talented young players. I wouldn't be surprised if they didn't win the division the next 10-12 years, which is not something you can really project in any other sport.

The A's will put together good teams for about a 2-3 year window, then trade everyone for magic beans when they can't afford to re-sign their stars. And they'll never get the money to re-sign their stars until they get a halfway decent stadium. And a new stadium's been in purgatory for a quarter-century now because of local politics.

The Orioles have built up their farm system, with guys like Austin Hays (he'll get the starting CF job for the entire season this year), Ryan Mountcastle, Grayson Rodriguez, and of course Adley Rutschman. So Baltimore looks to be set up for the future. Boston's the team in trouble for the future for the AL East, every other team has a loaded farm system (like Baltimore and Tampa), or their main roster is full of young talent (Yankees and Jays).

So Baltimore looks to be set up for the future. Boston's the team in trouble for the future for the AL East, every other team has a loaded farm system (like Baltimore and Tampa), or their main roster is full of young talent (Yankees and Jays). Yeah, I know about their prospects. The point was that their farm hadn't been stocked until now. They had 2 top 100 prospects (the same # Boston has this year) in 2018 when other bottom teams had stockpiled talent. I also wouldn't call their system loaded now. MLB.com ranked their prospect pool 13th to start the season. Their top positional prospect is a catcher, and while I think Rutschman is really good, that position has been even more volatile than most. Also, they've finished dead last in team ERA more the last decade than they've finished top half of the league. So I don't have a ton of confidence in their ability to develop pitchers to and through the majors. Boston doesn't have a ton on the books for 2022 and much less for 2023. While Devers getting paid will eat some of that and they've made it a point to avoid the luxury tax in the future, they're still going to be a very high payroll team who will have space to spend as well as being very good recently with player development, which has hardly been Baltimore's strength. I would be willing to bet that Boston has a better record 3-5 years from now than Baltimore. And I say that as someone who cannot stand Boston.

Honestly I can say about half of the NBA seeing how little parity that league has. It seems like there's always 2-5 truly great teams that have a shot and then it's a ton of mediocrity.

Sport by sport, I'd say:
MLB: Oakland A's. Mostly because of the stadium issue, and the inability to retain top talent as a result. If something doesn't get done, the team could even end up moving.
NFL: Cincinnati Bengals. Joe Burrow had one great college season, and he has no offensive line. Nothing is going to change until they get a GM and make personnel decisions on merit instead of cronyism.
NBA: New York Knicks. James Dolan needs to go, or surround himself with basketball people.
NHL: Florida Panthers. A few flashes of promise from time to time, but it seems to slip away, and the owner appears to be totally disinterested, along with the local market.

Despite them winning two world championships, former Yankee greats as field managers and in the front office with Mattingly and Jeter, and having points where they'll sign someone really good, the Miami Marlins always seem to be in a constant "rebuilding" mode.

Now that's consistency. Bobby Layne cursed them when he was traded from the team to the Steelers, saying they wouldn't win a championship for 50 years. Not only did that happen, but they also went 0-16 on the 50th anniversary of Layne's departure. And, they STILL haven't won one a decade after the curse expired. Bobby Layne must be the Sorcerer Supreme in order for his curse to be that effective!
