The 10 Worst Dynasties of All-Time

Chicago Blackhawks: 2009–2015

Back when the word “dynasty” meant something, you had to win two or three championships in a row, not one every other year or every two years. So the Blackhawks have won three Cups in six years … that means they’ve LOST just as often during their “dynasty.” They’re equally a losing dynasty as they are a winning one. Or don’t you understand fractions?

San Francisco Giants: 2010–2014

The baseball version of the Blackhawks in that they can’t even win a title in back-to-back years … but the Giants are (somehow) even worse than Chicago. At least when the Blackhawks fail to win championships, they still make the playoffs. The Giants didn’t even make the postseason in 2011 and 2013. Pathetic.

New England Patriots

One Super Bowl title in 10 seasons. Four Super Bowl titles in their entire history … and ALL of them won by cheating. If the Patriots are a dynasty (and they’re not), they’re a dynasty of organized crime.

Alabama football: 2009–2012

Nothing like a “dynasty” that features Trent Richardson. Give me a break.

UConn women’s basketball: 2000–2015

The Huskies have nine championships in the past 16 seasons. That seems like a dynasty. But UConn’s titles are meaningless. They’re clearly playing competition that is far inferior to them. It’s time someone says it: the UConn women are bullies. They have a bullying dynasty.

San Francisco forty-whiners who are the organized criminal organization. Your buddy, Eddie DeBartolo, is a well known mobster, who ironically is from Youngstown, Ohio.

By that logic, the Pittsburgh Steelers of the 70s weren't a dynasty either.

18 of 23 years of nothing regarding the Olympics. Apparently the author is too dumb to realize there's only one Olympics every 4 years.

Second: Nobody is calling the Blackhawks a dynasty. Not even here in the Chicago market.

Third: The hit on UConn is really petty and very dumb. The reason why they're playing competition far inferior to them is that they are simply dynastically better than every one else, because they can sustain it year upon year.

I see the humor bits with Dynasty and Ming, but if the rest of it is supposed to be humorous, it's a fail.
