Baseball has no equivalent. Sure, the AL is "younger" than the NL, but not by much. And they've made up the Major Leagues for over a century.
So there are memories that stretch back way before our lifetimes.
In football, it pretty much is our lifetimes, that is for some of us. (I'm not old enough to remember pre-AFL days).
Plus football was never even close to being as popular as baseball until the late '60s.
The list is subjective. He gave specific criteria on how he rated teams. A lot more criteria goes into his list than winning Super Bowls. Brown are rated at #10. But how many SBs have they won lately? I’m also a big Pats fan, and would have ranked them in the top 5, but it’s not my list.
