We know what's happened -- or rather, not -- since this original posting...

As a former teacher of mine used to say, "a big, fat, nothing". Check the Toronto Maple Leafs' record from the last couple of seasons, if you are curious. They would be 2009/2010, and 2010/2011. Hint: They did not even make the playoffs; and have not for a few years now.
Even I'm not laughing anymore.
One of the few equally sad stories (to this sports 'dabbler') is when Buffalo Bills coach Marv Levy took his team to four consecutive Super Bowl games only to lose on every occasion. I was actually cheering for him. (Let us not forget the non-sports case of Susan Lucci. After many, many Emmy nominations, she finally won the big prize in 1999. Hey, there's a joke in there: What's the difference between Susan Lucci and the Toronto Maple Leafs?... After many seasons of losing, she finally won the trophy.)
