Parity In The NFL (1 Viewer)

The Raiders/Redskins SB in 1984 was the first one I remember watching.

Loved that game. I had to watch it in the airport bar in Washington and bet a guy next me $50.00. His flight got called before the game was over but it was basically over anyways so he paid the cash and left.

Same. That was fist super bowl I remember actively watching. I have memories of ones before but I was definitely not watching - just in the room where they were on (and probably playing with Star Wars action figures).

Party in the NFL? I am against it. They're supposed to be grown ups, not kids acting like mom and dad are away for the weekend.

I'm not saying I'm old...

But, I remember watching all of those SB's!

For some reason, the 30 Year group jumps out: Dallas, SF, and Wash

To think of their heydays and then them not being able to climb the mountain again in a 30 year period since.

But did you watch the 65 NFL championship game? GB beat Cleveland in GB.
(Jimmy Taylor was the MVP)
I barely remember it. But I remember the game before that when GB beat my team, the Johnny U lead Colts. I was so p'd off I couldn't see straight. I've hated GB ever since.

Parity equals mediocrity.

Parity equals mediocrity.

How so? I think it’s great that the three franchises aren’t taking all the championships for the past thirty years.

Yeah but that doesn't change the truth of my statement. It makes the league better but there are no super teams anymore.

Found this chart interesting. Out of the last 20 years, 13 different franchises have won it all.

Never figured you as a Miley Cyrus fan…

I have to say, I like the "last 30 years" and "never" parts the best.

Parity equals mediocrity.

You want the NFL to be like the NBA?

You do know that forced parity is why we stand a chance now? Without it, Dallas, NY, LA would cycle champoinships
