Under the condition that you pick a team from each of the four major sports leagues in the United States (NFL, NBA, MLB and NHL) and so long as none of them win the championship, you remain young, rich and alive. As soon as one of them wins, you die. What 4 teams are you picking?

For me I'm going......

Texans
Bobcats
Pirates
Kraken

Seattle is the only team out of my four that would have me worried in the near future, with the Texans being second just due to the nature of the NFL where it is common for teams to go from worst to first in a division (27 times in the past 20 seasons) so today they could be trash and tomorrow right in the thick of ending my life. The Bobcats will never have me worried and the Pirates missed their latest window and it looks to be a while before their next one will open up.

Also if a team relocates you remain with that team as your selection. If for some reason a team actually contracted and ceased to exist, you would get to replace them with a new pick. You also would be banned from using your money to purchase any sports franchises to try and game the system. Also not allowed to gamble on or attempt to payoff someone in a handshake deal to ensure your selections stay out of the way. Any attempt to do any of these things results in your own spontaneous combustion, which would be a pretty cool and certainly memorable way to go out if you're looking for a silver lining to trying cheat the system.

Doesn't matter. If I'm wealthy I'm buying the teams, trading for 'bad' players, and let 'em lose while I claim tax rebates and sell tickets.

Well, you're dead already.

Lol yeah, I see that. In my defense I'm a slow typer and you added that clause whilst I strove to be witty.

I humbly withdraw, sirrah.
