Sports List: What was that score again?

More fun with numbers in my latest sports list for CBSLA.com.

With the advent of the 2-point conversion in NFL football, there are a bunch of final scores being recorded for the first time. Just this year, there have been five. And there are a lot more combinations still out there, too.

Yeah, it's kind of a weird list, but I like my numbers.

Sports List: At least they won once

Here's some fun with the number 15.

No, we're not talking about tennis and its inflated scoring system. Rather, my latest sports list for CBSLA.com, which looks at nine NFL teams that finished the season 1-15. Sure, the Lions posted an 0-16 mark, but what can you say about that?

When a team goes 1-15, there is that one Sunday (or Monday, or Thursday, or late-season Saturday) that there was cause for celebration. Because you got a win, and likely did not hurt your chances for getting the No. 1 draft pick.

So here is my ode to those 1-15 teams, which the Raiders have avoided...at least this year.
