OK. I talked about Atlanta in the post above, but here's a look at Seattle over 30 seasons (2005-2034):
Fewest Wins: 73
Most Wins: 106
Lowest Revenue: $85.8M
Highest Revenue: $106.8M
Playoff Appearances: at least 14 (The way the team history is written, if a team is the Wild Card and loses in the first round, it only shows "2nd Place" as their finish. However, they had three seasons of 90+ wins and 2nd place finishes. I'm guessing they made the playoffs at least one or two of those seasons.)
World Championships: 1
They finished fourth twice, 3rd 6 times, and 1st or 2nd the other 22 seasons.
