ESPN: ’03 Tigers, ’08 Lions worst in MLB, NFL history

The 2008 Detroit Lions are close to having company.

With the Browns one defeat away from joining that Hololulu blue and silver edition as the NFL’s only 0-16 teams, ESPN took a look Tuesday at the worst franchise in the history of each of the four major sports.

Detroit, unfortunately for its fans, is well represented.

The 2008 Lions and 2003 Tigers are deemed the worst in NFL and Major League Baseball history, respectively, by ESPN, making the Motor City home to half of the most hapless.

And, while the Lions own the worst record in NFL history, the 2003 Tigers do not.
