If the Browns were in the NFC they would have gone to the last three Super Bowls.

You should definitely move to a socialist country since you don't like unbridled success. The Cowboys and 49ers played some of the best games the NFL will ever see, and we will NEVER again see games that good, because every team is watered down. The Cowboys backups in 92-93 could go 9-7 now.

This was a welcome change to watching the NFC own the entire '80s and early '90s.

I don't know. I think you would have loved communist Russia, where only a couple of people got to have anything.

NFL where Green Bay can have playoff games > NFL where Jerry Jones can buy the NFC Pro Bowl team. (And my team was just fine under that system).

Biggest dissapointment of the year? The Lions at 2-7, they really are not a 2-7 team but 6 of the 7 losses have been by less then 10 points, they only suffered one blow out which was to the Bears.

I tell myself every year but watch out for the Lions next year ;)

I seem to recall Green Bay having pretty good success in the late 1990s, and it had nothing to do with a cap. It was called good drafts and the Favre trade.

Right, and having Reggie White decide that Green Bay wouldn't be a bad place to play because they could suddenly afford him had nothing to do with it.

No, apparently you should move to England and root for Man U because this capitalist country apparently likes the NFL much better now than it did then.

The NFL is now an unbridled success as a whole and parity is a big reason why.
