Typical Detroit. Can’t even secure last place.

How the hell are the Raiders not #1?
As a Steelers fan, I’d be interested to know how many were Brown, Bell, and Legarrete Blount.
Blount came in, which was unpopular with quite a few people, seemed to get everyone publicly to smoke weed, become super self-centered and arrogant, and generally be dicks, then was released.
So take away that one “bad influence,” even if it was just to bring everything out into the open, and I’d like to see where we’re at… Then take away Roethisberger. Basically, see if it was a few shitty people or an “institutional” problem.
Bell got arrested a few times? I must’ve forgotten. I don’t think it’s an institutional problem for the team. It’s the sport. Too many guys are on roids or have uncontrolled impulses due to CTE so this problem would still exist with the best run teams.
Can we get a comparison of this to other major league sports?
I would love to know which sport has the most troublemakers per Capita.
Give the Vikings some slack. If you won that many games but always got blown out when it counts, you’d do crimes too. They’re basically the NFL’s worst case of blue balls.
I dunno about worst…4 straight superbowl losses for the Bills in the 90s is pretty fuckin bad too.
As a Minnesota sports fan in general, that’s basically all of MN sports. We win most of the games that “matter” the least, then choke massively in the national spotlight so everyone outside MN thinks we’re absolute garbage and always have been, where anyone who actually pays attention to us knows we’re a good deal better than that and there’s a reason we’re in the spotlight in the first place. The Twins in MLB, for example, have a “historic” 18-game losing streak in the playoffs (mostly against the Yankees), but we do find a way into the playoffs more often than not. Not every MN team playoff year is some “lucky fluke”, we’re not always “frauds”. We’ve been blue-balled in football, baseball and hockey for far too long.
The one exception is the Timberwolves, they just suck and always have, except for that one season in 2003.
Die hard Vikings and Twins fan. To be a fan of these teams is to make peace with disappointment. Or you’re just a glutton for punishment.
Is this for active players or past players as well? Also, what about players that played for two teams that have been jailed (Brandon Browner)? Does it count as one for New England and Seattle?
The way I read it was all players for that team active or not, specifically to when they were on that particular team.
I think this relates to while players are active with the team. Too messy to track after they leave a team because many players are multi-team players over their lifetime.
