-1 Mavericks
+2 Yankees
-1 Braves -- you guys are complete idiots if you say that the Atlanta Braves, who won zero World Championships in the last 10 years and have missed the playoffs are a better run franchise than the New York Yankees, who have not missed the playoffs and have captured three World Championships in that time. Sure, they have a higher payroll. But they also had to compete in a more difficult division in a more difficult league. Besides, The Patriots have the highest payroll in the NFL. The Red Sox have the second highest in baseball. The Red Wings have the highest in the NHL.

And by the way? I HATE the Yankees. I hate the fact that I had to award them points. But they were seriously undervalued here.

Hmmm, lets combine the Steelers and Colts Championships over the past 20 years...

Yup, still less than the Patriots in the last 5.

True. And I agree with you. However, I think that the Patriots were overvalued at 23. That isn't an excuse for giving the Steelers an extra point, though.

Let's see here...
Patriots have won 3 Super Bowls and went undefeated in another year, and are 106-52 in the last 10 years.
Spurs - have a .712 win pct, made the playoffs every year, and a 4 championships...
Pistons - have a .614 win pct, have been in the conference finals five times and won 1 championship... but they did draft Darko over Carmelo and Wade.
Braves - one losing season, 4 seasons with over 100 wins, 8 division titles... but no world series.
Red Wings - Two Stanley Cups, 8 division titles... but it's hockey.
Red Sox - Two World Series wins, five playoff appearances -- but second-fiddle to the Yanks in eight of those 10 years
Colts - Eight seasons with 10 wins or more, one Super Bowl, eight playoff appearances.
Yankees - Nine division titles, 10-for-10 in playoff appearances, three championships, one season where they won more games than any other baseball team.
Steelers - Five playoff appearances, one Super Bowl win.

So...

+2 - Yankees -- under valued at 9.
-1 - Braves - only team on here without a championship in the last 10 years
-1 - Steelers - only team other than the Red Sox who made the playoffs only half the time (and fewer baseball teams make the playoffs).
