Losing Streaks

Did you know that the longest all-time losing streak for each the NFL, MLB, and NBA is 26 games?  What a strange coincidence.  Now, let's look at it a little differently.  In Major League Baseball, a 26-game losing streak is about 16% of a full season, in the NBA it would be about 32% of a full season, and in the NFL it would be 1.6 seasons worth of losing.  So, if you look at it that way, losing 26 straight games in the NFL is mathematically the worst sport to have a streak that long (it would be the equivilant of a 260-game losing streak in baseball).  However, since there are only five players on the court when playing basketball, it would only take one guy getting hot in one game to end a losing streak that long.  So in my opinion, a 26-game losing streak in the NBA is much easier to break, making it worse to lose that many consecutive games in basketball than it would be in football or baseball.  Which once again proves that the NBA is stupid.  Well, that's all I've got, it's Sunday, sue me.
