[edit] Top 10 flops of the decade

See footnote[28]
  1. Duke Blue Devils men's basketball — Unlike the other entries in this list, Duke was highly successful on the court throughout the decade. The Blue Devils were "honored" because of their alleged tendency to flop to draw offensive fouls.
  2. 2004 USA men's basketball team — Amid a breakdown of team chemistry, Team USA lost more games in the 2004 Olympics (three) than it had in all previous Olympic tournaments combined (two).
  3. Barry Zito — After considerable success with the Oakland Athletics, the left-handed pitcher crossed San Francisco Bay after the 2006 season to play for the San Francisco Giants, signing what was then the richest contract for a pitcher in baseball history. He proceeded to go 31–43 in the next three seasons, never posting an ERA below 4.00.
  4. Monday Night Football announcers, mainly Dennis Miller and Tony Kornheiser
  5. Charlie Weis at Notre Dame
  6. Darko Miličić — Drafted #2 overall in the 2003 NBA Draft by the Detroit Pistons, immediately before Carmelo Anthony, Chris Bosh, and Dwyane Wade, but never averaged more than 8 points in any season.
  7. Steve Spurrier with the Washington Redskins
  8. Ron Zook, first at Florida and then at Illinois
  9. Matt Millen — In Millen's seven-plus seasons as the general manager of the Detroit Lions, the team went 31–84. He was fired three games into the 2008 season, which would end with the Lions becoming the first NFL team ever to go 0–16.
  10. NFL Network — At the end of 2009, after six years of operation, the NFL's in-house TV network still had not reached carriage deals with many of the nation's biggest cable providers.
