A higher draft pick cause you lost. 

Knowing you got a better chance in the lottery but lost the lottery

Knowing you did well in the lottery, but the available players aren't that good.

Your rookie breaks a finger, and you strongly suspect Pruitt, Giddens, and Walker still can't help, but Nick Fazekas just made 2nd team all-Orlando league.

I'll still take it

I never saw this, but my understanding is that there used to be like a runner up Super Bowl.  Now THAT must have been uninspiring.

Tom Brady just beat you in the AFC championship game but you are at your umpteenth Pro Bowl where they ask you questions about your drunk idiot kicker

You win ESPY award for male athlete of the year while Bill Belichek applauds you wearing his three rings

Bronze Medal games in the olympics. You've already lost your shot at getting the title and they still make you play a few hours before a main event, usually without television exposure anyway.

ryan leaf


also, the 2001 seattle mariners and their 166 wins

Don't you mean 116 wins... lol there aren't even 166 games in an MLB Season.

yes, please forgive the typo. too bad spell check does not fix errors like that!  :D

It's all good and I agree with you that they are one of the Most Uninspiring Consolation Prizes of All Time.
