Are the Detroit Lions the next sports team to end their drought?

Now that the Cleveland Cavaliers are champions, which sports team is next to end their drought?

The Cleveland Cavaliers are champions for the first time in their 46-year franchise history. Prior to Sunday's victory, the entire city of Cleveland had been shut out of professional championships since the Cleveland Browns won the title game in 1964. When a team ends a long streak like this, it brings hope to hapless fans across the entire sports world.

The Detroit Lions are one of those long-suffering fan bases in sports. Ask any Lions fan and they'll immediately tell you the year the team last won the championship (1957) even though that title came when a good portion of those fans were still several decades away from being born.
