Which markets are we including? And yes, if they aren't #1, they are definitely at the top of that list.

My favorite teams
  1. Chicago White Sox
  1. Chicago Bulls
  1. Chicago Bears
  1. Nebraska Cornhuskers
  2. Villanova Wildcats
They are on the list, but the Jets, Mets, Lions, Sacramento Kings, Knicks, Orioles, Marlins, Pirates, and insert NHL team here are above them.

That’s just off the top of my head.

Only for football.
Not even that. The Bears aren't even the worst run franchise in their own city. Or their own sport. Or their own division. The Bears are really just average, kinda mediocre but occasional bright spots, pro sports franchise.

Ah yes the gargantuan market of Sacramento with its one pro sports team.

I'll add the Texas Rangers to these other fine submissions.

Phoenix is the 5th largest city now.

Cardinals are worse than the Bears overall. Coyotes have been bad...constantly rumored to be moving.

Even if they are, we're (Bears fans) still going to watch the games anyways. Gives us a reason to rip off our dicks & complain incessantly about trivial matters we have no control over. Bear Down!

No. The Jets are ran pretty poorly. Knicks too
