The Yankees aren't #1.
I like it.
But it also begs the question: How can a team with 53 world championships (or whatever the Yankees are up to now) not be #1?

Kind of interesting, but usually a futile exercise. Everyone who is a fan of a low ranked team doesn't like where they're ranked and I'm no different.
Caps, Seahawks, Saints... all be ranked that low immediately disqualifies this exercise.
The Knicks at 53? WTF?

How can 3 teams from the same city be average?

How are the Phils middle of the pack?
Has any other professional franchise IN THE ENTIRE WORLD even joined the 10,000 losses club with them yet?

Phillies are 27 out of 30 in winning percentage.

My team is #8, but only won 4 World Series. Twins are #21 with 3 World Series which includes the original Senators.

So if you're going with multiple world series victories, that's why the Phils are average. That apparently balances their most ever losses of any franchise in the world.

Wait, Patriots at 28? Ok, this one is beyond futile, it's just moronic.

That is debatable as to what that should mean.
Twins have 8 playoff trips in the last 28 years with only one playoff series win. 28 years. That's not what I would call recency.
Redskins perfect example. They have been one of the bottom three franchises since before my 23 year old daughter was born. Their ancient Super Bowls should almost be worthless by now.

Like they said in the video, that 86 year gap hurt their standings.89Hen wrote: ↑Wed Feb 26, 2020 2:28 pmThat is debatable as to what that should mean.

Except pre Super Bowl Champions were not counted as champions.

I said "how long did they go without a Super Bowl win" so I'm not sure of your point.

Watch this if you want to understand why pre Super Bowl championships shouldn't really matter to anyone. So many teams were in and out of the league in the early days.

Pat's yes, but the things they took into account and things they didn't count, hurt Green Bay and the Bears.

You guys are assuming I watched the video. I just fast forwarded to where I saw them actually give the team ranks. I don't give a shit about their methodology, it sucks. They all suck. Of course some of the rankings are accurate (Cardinals highly ranked) but there are just too many that don't pass the sniff test.
