Anyone follow that greatest team of all time bracket on NFL.com, where "fans" are voting on it? The '76 Raiders and '00 Ravens are the final 2 teams. The Ravens beat out the '84 49ers to go to the final, and the Raiders beat out the '85 Bears to go. That's what happens when you let bias fans hanging on to a team's one moment of glory vote. You end up with retarded results like that.

I only voted in the first round, and being a Niners fan I'm sure you could imagine my opinion of the Ravens beating the '84 Niners but if memory serves the Ravens were the last seed in their bracket, and the Ravens ended up beating some team they would have never defeated... Pretty sure there's some Raven's site pushing fans to vote... Lame.
 
Yeah, yesterday the '84 Niners were wining by like 64% to 36%, and same with the '85 Bears beating the '76 Raiders, and then I get on today to check any new news of interest and saw those two in the final round and just was bewildered.

Yes, I definitely agree some fan bases were encouraging others to get on there and vote, and multiple times at that, to I guess add some legitimacy to those two teams. Fact of the matter is, those are not even close to the top 2 teams of all time. Ravens fans always bring up the defensive stats for that season, but never mention that not one QB that team faced that season will ever even be hired to sell tickets to Canton, let alone have a bust in it. Then again, they swear up and down that that team is an expansion team and that the Browns did not relocate there. So, if they say the sky is blue, look out your window. Yeah, that was a good D that season,but no offense with Trent Dilfer can ever be considered the greatest team of all time. For the '76 Raiders, all I have to say is roughing the passer against the Pats in the play offs. That's why a true Raiders fan should ever _____ about the tuck rule game.

I rarely, if ever, turn on the NFL network anymore because it's such a joke, but the one time I did a few nights ago they were talking about that bracket like it was some huge, legitimate news in the sports world. That's why that channel will never be considered a legitimate sports talk channel, and the #1 reason is Rich Eisen. That dude knows jack squat about the 1 sport his life literally revolves around, and he just tries to add stupid little comments to add onto the end of a discussion between people that actually know what they're talking about, thinking he's funny. He's worse than Dennis Miller was when he tried being in the broadcasting booth, but at least he had some knowledge of the game.

For me, top 3 teams of all time are '85 Bears, '84 49ers and '79 Steelers. Maybe my #3 pick is a little homer, but there is some legitimacy to my picking it at least.
 
No, I wouldn't have an issue with any of those three teams. I also think there were some damn good Cowboy teams in the 90's... '85 Bears and '84 Niners seemed like a logical enough final to me though... At least close enough to other great teams to hear little to no complaining. But the Ravens?

The Ravens didn't even win their division in 2000... They were 12-4. Good team? Yeah. Super Bowl winner? Yeah. GOAT? :lol Not even close....
 
'84 Niners and '85 Bears would've been a match up a lot of football fans picked from the beginning, but unfortunately that bracket turned into a hate fest after the 1st round. I was trying to honestly vote and placed some ones I didn't want to, but people were just on there voting teams they hated out and their homer picks in.

There's always going to be debate as to what the greatest of all time is, but it's a safe bet to say not those two.
 
Is anyone in TN any left from that '99 squad?

Yeah, more like '09 Titans :lecture

Looking at the roster and staff it looks like just Bud Adams who may never die and Mike Munchak who's now HC.

Also they had a certain DC on that team who may or may not have had a bounty program...:lol

Hmmmm, speaking of an '09 team.

So what # was Dog the Bounty Hunter on the Saints?

New uniforms were revealed today. Not much change other than the cut and a few teams have new collars. The Seahawks however got a revamp and I must say that I love the look. I was hoping for something a bit more drastic leauge wide if I'm being honest. I hope more teams hop on board for a new look in the future.
 
Big improvement for the Seahawks. I honestly believe that teams play better (at least for a while) after they get new uniforms. If the Seahawks end up with a really good year this year, I will chalk it up to the uniforms at the end of the season.:lol

the chargers new jerseys look sweet
 
Nike had to tweak the unis just enough to have fans feel they need to keep with the updated look and buy a new one. I'm fine with my knock-off Reebok Harrison jersey.

And isn't Nike trying to sue Reebok for squeezing out some Tebow Jets jerseys before their contract expired? Yeah, Heaven forbid Reebok snagged up the Tebow band-wagoners before Nike had the chance. Freaking wah Nike. Just go make the next Air Jordan shoe so people can get into fights over them.
