We have super-teams, dynasties, and teams that get so close and never can finish the job. The question is, should the leagues and organizers enforce it, and if so, how? 2 words restrictor plates

the NFL is absolutely horrible by that metric, there have been 5 teams absolutely stomping the AFC for the last 20 years. Since like '04, the only non-Steelers/Ravens/Pats/Colts/Broncos have made it into the AFC championship 3 times between 2 teams. And both lost. the NFC is better slighlty, but Ben/Tom/Peyton were kicking everyone's rear end over in the AFC for a very long time.

The Pussy Boss posted:Also, you can't build a dynasty in baseball with just one or two great players, like you can in the NBA, or a great QB and head coach, like in the NFL. Yeah. A good hitter will only impact the game maybe 4 or 5 times in a game, and even then only 30% of the time. Pitchers rotate in every 5 days.

ElwoodCuse posted:yeah it's really hosed how the only way to make money in baseball is to be really good for a long time and hope you get horribly overpaid in your twilight years. I wonder how long until the owners start trying to get non-guaranteed contracts like football so they could just straight-up release your Albert Pujols-types *looks at Bobby Bonilla*

Can we not bring the personnel decision of the Browns into this. A franchise who spent tens of thousands of dollars on choosing a quarterback so the owner could ignore it and draft Johnny Manziel because a hobo told him to.
