Ever wonder how valued you are as a fan by your favorite team? Perhaps some of you already know (Knicks fans), but perhaps some of you don't. That's why ESPN The Magazine has pumped out its seventh-annual Ultimate Standings, ranking all the MLB, NBA, NHL, NFL franchises to make a list of the best and worst customer service in sports.
Which fans are cared about the most? According to The Mag's rankings, it's the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim! Reasons why include: a great stadium, lots of player likeability, even a Beyonce song titled after the team (ok, that last one wasn't factored in, but talk about bonus points). Rounding out the top five are the Carolina Hurricanes, the Pittsburgh Steelers, the Detroit Red Wings and the Cleveland Cavaliers.
Now, to the bottom of the pile! Which fans are treated the worst? Congratulations to ... the Los Angeles Clippers!!! The Clip Show beat out such heavyweights as the New York Knicks, the Oakland Raiders, the Detroit Lions and the Cincinnati Bengals. Keep it classy, Clippers.

“Maybe I'm biased because I am an Angels fan. The list isn't about total winning percentages, largest fan bases or best players. It's about good players without attitudes, title contention and fans that are satisfied with the price of the product. Angels games are still affordable and there is a winning product. The fans are always looking for a title and always feel we have a chance.

“Blake will be bye-bye as soon as his contract is up. Why? No one can turn around the Clippers.

@GabeTheWP double-overtime, 7-goal comeback, would-be game-winning goal disallowed for an illegal stick. I bet you feel pretty stupid now.

If there was ever a right time to break a foot for an NFL star, Hakeem Nicks picked right time. Sounds odd but true.
