  Let's see, 21 of my 31 years on this Earth, Browns have been .500 or less and haven't won anything. So, I'll go with 10.

  As many as it takes. Hopefully zero years.

  How many years have the Pirates been sub-.500? I guess since I've endured those 20 or so, I'm due for a championship soon. Aren't I?

  Depends on the sports.
  
  I couldnt enjoy college basketball if IU sucked for more than like 2 years. This recent run was brutal. Couldnt do that again. So Ill say 2.
  
  For football, well, I can enjoy that still when my teams sucks. Ill go 10.

  Yeah...that was brutal. You were probably too young, if even born, for the 1987 championship. Have had some of my fav teams win it all...>Steelers, Penguins, Reds, Hoosiers......
  If I had to revise my answer:
  Penguins: 10 yrs.
  Hoosiers hoops: 7
  Reds: 7
  Steelers: 5

  Seems like the Browns have been sub .500 for ever. We've done our time. Now give us the championship!

  5 years.

  I couldn't take one, as Red Wings fan who has seen their team make 21 consecutive playoffs, it would be crushing to see them miss once. I can live without titles, but being non competitive is just awful. There's a reason no one goes to Pistons games anymore, there's no point

  I'd sacrifice last season for this thread to have not been made.
