We’re No. 1!!!

Philadelphia, whose hometown Eagles lost in both of their Super Bowl appearances and whose fans have endured years of heartache and disappointment, is the unhappiest pro football city, according to an analysis by Avvo (www.avvo.com), which offers free ratings and profiles for 90 percent of licensed doctors and lawyers in the U.S.

In compiling the list, Avvo evaluated the 14 NFL cities that have never won a Super Bowl, basing the rankings on a variety of factors including psychiatrists per capita, unemployment rate, heavy drinking, adults with hypertension, and average commuting time to and from work.

“Americans are extremely passionate and loyal to their favorite football teams, but when they’re beloved team loses, or just plain underachieves, it’s not uncommon for them to be depressed or melancholy,” said Mark Britton, founder and CEO of Avvo.

Also on the depression medal platform: Atlanta in second and Cincinnati in third. The least depressed non-Super Bowl winning city? Minneapolis.
