PARADE OF LOSERS 

Bill Simmons nails it once again. Watch him take his hacks at the Cold Pizza 15 Most Tortured Sports Cities in America list. They summoned him because Boston is number five for some reason.
    Cold Pizza ended up naming Boston fifth. Out of everybody. Even ahead of Minneapolis, Cincy, Washington and Seattle. You would think those two Super Bowl titles in the last three years would have factored into the voting ... apparently not. But I wasn't about to glorify such abject stupidity with a column. I would rather have Jayson Williams show me his shotgun collection.

    7. Seattle
    Imagine watching those Kemp-Payton teams never reach their full potential? Griffey, A-Rod and the Unit skipping town on a potential dynasty? The Seahawks finishing 8-8 for 20 straight years? This city made one Finals in the last 25 years ... and it was against MJ's Bulls team that finished 72-10. Thank you and please drive through. I feel terrible for these fans. When Hasselbeck threw that interception in Lambeau, that was the first thing I thought: "Not again!"
Bill Simmons' list of ten: 1) Buffalo, 2) Cleveland, 3) Minnesota, 4) Philadelphia, 5) Seattle, 6) Cincinnati, 7) Washington DC, 8) Kansas City, 9) Houston, 10) Pittsburgh.

The guy from Boston didn't even put his city in his top 10 for this list, yet it makes the top five in the Cold Pizza "list." Ridiculous. At least Bill Simmons isn't dumb enough to forget about the Patriots' two Super Bowl rings in three years. Yeah, those Boston sports fans have really suffered lately.
