25 * 4 = 0: With the defeat of the Orange and Black yesterday in the NHL playoffs, Philadelphia's four major sports teams have now logged one hundred seasons since the 1982-83 Sixers championship without winning a league title. SI's Bryan Armen Graham does a solid job listing the hundred most painful Philadelphia sports moments and decisions during that span, from the Doug Moe Era to the Tommy Hutton Game to the Danny Tartabull signing to last season's Winston Justice Invitational, and I attended or watched live a disturbing number of the non-hockey games listed.
That said, I'm not sure how you can compile such a list without spending time on the Jerome Brown and Pelle Lindbergh tragedies. I have to assume that this game was #101, because it still hurts. They all do ...
