In the history of professional sports — pick a sport, any sport — very few franchises have achieved the level of futility that's become the Saitama Broncos' trademark.
Since the start of the 2013-14 season, the Broncos have lost 133 of their 148 regular-season games. They were 5-47 in the 2013-14 campaign, followed by a 6-46 mark last season.
On Sunday, Saitama suffered loss No. 40 in the 44th game of its current dreadful season.
