Biggest FLOP in recent team sport history? Eagles, Lakers or Marlins?

It seem that some of the biggest debacles of over hype teams have happened in the span of 3 years.

The angles:

Worst coach?

• Andy Reid
• Ozzie Guillen
• Mike Brown/Mike D'Antoni

Most significant outcome?

• Andy Reid fire after 14 seasons.
• Marlins Fire Sale. Possible fraud on new Stadium finance?
• Possibly not re-signing Dwight Howard.

Lakers, assuming they don't get their sh*t together, and make a crazy run.

Well, that Red Sox team never had the off season hype those others team had. Moreover, Marlins/Eagles/Lakers struggled right out of the gate while the Red Sox well pretty good and won 90 games so they were hardly a bad team, they just choked. A worst recent choke job would be a better suited list for that team.

No one actually thought the Egals were gonna win the Superbowl. 

Lakers. Team stinks. 

I would give the Lakers a pass, with all their injuries and Howard not playing 100% but they should still be at least above the 8th seed.

The Lakers by far.

People were penciling in the Lakers for at worst the conference finals. Now they'll need to go on a roll just to get into the playoffs. They're the bigger flop because at least in the Eagles' case there are major disappointments and big surprises in every football season. I don't remember the last time I saw a supposed title contender in the NBA fail to even reach the playoffs.

The Marlins are a completely different situation than those two teams, their organization is an embarrassment to sports.

The Marlins were hyped? Had no idea. Don't pay attention to baseball at all though.

These are like all deuce4eva's teams.

Honestly, the firesale is nothing new for the Marlins. I'd say Loria and his goons are absolute crooks and liars, but the franchise isn't that big of a flop. They have won 2 world series titles, no matter what you say about them. They've been at best mediocre since 2003 though, leaning on the bad side.

Eagles for sure. They were the NFL's Dream Team and tanked.

The Lakers were old and everyone knew it. There was hope they could play together and give Mr. Buss one more good run, but it's not going to happen. They're a mild flop, especially with the clueless Howard playing in the All-Star game. This coming from the clown that was taking games off not more than a week back because he was too hurt to play. Brand management is getting old, just play the game.

Future flop, I'll place my bet on the '13 Jays.

I'll go with the Lakers. I'm kinda used to the Eagles doing this now, and c'mon... the Marlins... Big names, sure, but they're the Marlins. [QUOTE="Put_in_Kitna"]

Joke. 

They won La Liga last year. Good enough to not be included at all in this conversation with these loser teams. 

Eagles for sure. They were the NFL's Dream Team and tanked.

Considering a big chunk/core of that team came from a terrible Marlins team, I wouldn't be surprised. Those players didn't help the Marlins win at all. The Jays do have a better cast to surround those players though.

I think the Angels were an even bigger disappointment than the Marlins even though the Angels finished with an above-.500 record. Look at ESPN's "experts" predictions. I'd guess about half of them picked the Marlins to make the playoffs but almost everybody picked the Angels. The Angels might've even been the favorites to win the World Series.

Patriots for their imperfect season.The-Apostle

Can't believe more people aren't saying this.

That Eagles team shouldn't have been so overrated.

Everyone with any football sense whatsoever should have seen that coming.

Were the Patriots really a flop? as much as they were pompous chokers? I mean the Lakers are kind of like disappointing, that Patriots team was the opposite of disappointing for about 18 games until they got bullied in the Superbowl. jg4xchamp

I am by no means a Pats fan, but I fail to see how they are pompous chokers with plays like these.

If Tyree doesn't have industrial strength super glue on his helmet and gloves, the Pats win that game. Also the perfect throw by Manning to Manningham, who makes a world class catch. How do you stop either of those?

Lakers. Their GM should should be blamed for not adding enough depth to the team. I sort of seen it coming before it happened in the first month of this season. Also Kobe got injured.

I wouldn't say the Lakers have been a flop. Disappointing? Absolutely. But I don't think they've been a complete flop. It's gonna take a while for Nash, Howard, and Kobe to REALLY get good chemistry, next year I think they will be much better and what everyone expected this year. WebSlinger2660
