I wouldn’t make a single change to that list, except make Dallas number 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, and 2, also.
As a Dallas Cowboys fan, I must sadly agree. The Cowboys are a marquee franchise in U.S. Sports, and as such an enormous amount of attention is paid to them. They are better than average today, but haven’t been extraordinary in almost fifteen years.
Carolina Panthers over rated? Who on earth rates them highly? Dale Jr hasn’t had much success lately, but his 18 career wins put him at number 10 among all active drivers.
Agree, but I would also add the dismal Washington Redskins and the equally dismal Baltimore Orioles. Neither has put a winning product on the field in years.
I am glad you did not include the 2009-2010 Red Wings. (or the post Scotty teams)
That’s a little hard on the NFC East. I don’t see how the Panthers could ever be overrated.
As for some golden oldies....you can’t forget the Atlanta Braves of the 90’s.They won something like 14 straight division titles and didn’t get out of the first round of the playoffs most years!
What - no New York Rangers?
Ummmmm.......don’t be so hard on the Cavaliers. None of the teams in the NBA play REAL team basketball anymore. It is a “see MEEEEE do MY thing” league littered with thugs and I don’t see it changing anytime soon.
That ties into why Gonzaga is so successful. They play a team game and don’t need any NBA “superstars” to get the job done.
Hey, give Kentucky basketball a break! A decade of an incompetent affirmative action coach destroyed one of the nations most successful and storied programs. It takes a little time to rebound into the Kentucky of old. A coach was finally hired on the basis of ABILITY rather than color and the program is making strides. So stick around.
How about Danica Patrick? She gets all kinds of press and rarely, if ever, wins a race. Somewhat akin to that little hottie female tennis player a few years back who never won a tournament.
As good as they are, they are still overly hyped.
“1. Dallas Cowboys - 82-78 the last 10 years”
Yeah, but they have won, like, 5 championships, putting them tied with the 49ers for second all-time behind the Steelers. Here’s the problem with overrated lists: overrated things are usually pretty good. Otherwise, they wouldn’t be rated so highly. In fact, the Cowboys are a very good franchise. Unlike the 49ers and the Packers, for instance, they have been (more or less) part of the elite in three seperate decades.
I’d pick the Boston Red Sox as most overrated team in sports history. MLB Network ranks Red Sox players ahead of others as if the Red Sox were the dominant dynasty in the 20th Century. For example, they ranked Fred Lynn and Yaz ahead of Joe DiMaggio and the rest of the legends. In another example, when discussing great Red Sox pitchers (as if), they leave out one of their greatest pitcher Babe Ruth.
Whenever you watch the Top 9 lists on MLBNetwook or Top 10 on the NFLNetwork, the actual players will laugh, disagree and demand to know who came up with the lists. The nerdy fat commentators (not the player-presenters) will proudly explain why this list is the most definitive list.
11. University of Michigan football
Gonzaga Men’s Basketball Team.
NO major NBA players????
Ever hear of...JOHN STOCKTON?!?
Not on the list but should be:
New York Yankees
Los Angeles Dodgers
Yeah, but their cheerleaders are hot lesbians.
