Dallas Cowboys
Give honour where honour is due! In 2023, the Cowboys once again had an excellent regular season, but collapsed in their first playoff game by losing 48 to 32 against the Green Bay Packers on Sunday. In the last three years, the Texas club has maintained a 12-5 record during the campaign. The Cowboys, however, only won one playoff game during this stretch. Since its last victory in 1995, the organization has participated in the post-season 13 times in 28 years. Dallas has never reached the conference final and has been defeated eight times in its first postseason game during that span.

Toronto Maple Leafs
In the National Hockey League (NHL), the failures of the Maple Leafs have been the subject of ridicule for many years. The team from the Queen City, however, managed to get past the first round of the playoffs last year, for the first time since the 2003-2004 campaign. The Leafs, however, lost their flag in the next round. The Toronto team has not lifted the Stanley Cup since 1967, which represents the longest drought among NHL clubs. Also, the Maple Leafs have not reached the final since their last victory.

Toronto Blue Jays
Fans of the Queen City have obviously experienced their share of disappointments in recent years. Like the Cowboys, the Blue Jays experienced the joy of victory several times in the 1990s. However, it has been a massacre since. Between 1995 and 2014, the Jays did not qualify for the playoffs. The team has enjoyed some success since then, having made the post-season five times in the last nine seasons. His last three playoff appearances, however, ended in the first round; each time, the Blue Jays suffered the sweep.
Los Angeles Clippers
In their 53-year history, the Clippers have never reached the NBA Finals. This is the longest drought in the history of this circuit, by far! Fans of the Los Angeles club have been struggling for a long time, but the team has shown some great things in recent years, without being able to go all the way. The Clippers have made the playoffs 10 times in 12 campaigns since 2010-2011. During this period, they lost in the association final once, in the association semi-final four times and in the first round five times.
