    While much of Omaha is a pretty typical example of a bland, boring midwest city, the Old Market area restaurants, bars and shops are fun, and the College World Series is a spectacular time, especially the pre-game and between game tailgating and bar hopping, and should be a bucket list item for anyone who calls themselves a sports fan.
    That community is already in the process of dissolution where each man begins to eye his neighbor as a possible enemy, where non-conformity with the accepted creed, political as well as religious, is a mark of disaffection; where denunciation, without specification or backing, takes the place of evidence; where orthodoxy chokes freedom of dissent; where faith in the eventual supremacy of reason has become so timid that we dare not enter our convictions in the open lists, to win or lose.

      Yeah, about that. I'd call several countries in the Americas, Europe, Africa, the Middle East and SE Asia as fairly interesting. I'm not afraid of a little dirt, culture, etc., etc. Just saying NO is far more than the FQ and it went sadly downhill after Katrina. Still ignores the fact I don't root for teams in the SB based upon whether or not I'd want to live someplace. Although your existence possibly explains why so many people hate the Patriots so maybe there's something to it...

        Ummm...I was making light of the rankings which I seem to take a lot less seriously than you. One could deduce I was joking when I said that if Drew Brees was a serial killer I'd testify on his behalf at his sentencing hearing....

              #22 - Tennessee Titans
              Points: 78.9047
              Super Bowl Championships:
              0
              NFL Championships: 0*
              Playoff Appearances: 21 (14-19 (0.424))

              The Tennessee Titans come in at #22 on this list. The Titans began their history in the American Football League in 1960 as the Houston Oilers. As the Oilers, they won the first two AFL Championships in 1960 and 1961, and were runner-up in 1962 and 1967. While in Houston, the franchise had many successes, but were unable to reach the Super Bowl. The Oilers reached the AFC Championship game in 1978 and 1979, and made 7 straight postseason appearances from 1987-1993. Indeed, in total, the Titans franchise has made 21 postseason appearances, the 4th most for any franchise without winning a Super Bowl. Following the 1996 season, the franchise moved to Tennessee and changed their nickname to the Titans beginning with the 1999 season. The 1999 season was arguably the greatest season in franchise history, as the Titans went 13-3 and advanced to Super Bowl XXXIV, coming up one yard short of forcing overtime against the Rams. The Titans would get back to the AFC Title game in 2002, but fell to Oakland, and lost in the Divisional round to Baltimore in 2008 after posting a 13-3 regular season record. Tennessee has largely struggled since 2008, failing to reach the postseason and posting only 1 +.500 season. The Titans do look like a franchise on the rise, however, and T-Rac and the Tennessee faithful will hope to bring home more hardware, including an elusive Lombardi Trophy, in the near future.

              #22 - Tennessee Titans: 78.9047 Points
              #23 - Los Angeles Chargers: 68.583 Points
              #24 - New York Jets: 57.2376 Points
              #25 - New Orleans Saints: 51.8186 Points
              #26 - Arizona Cardinals: 49.1015 Points
              #27 - Tampa Bay Buccaneers: 44.2051 Points
              #28 - Cincinnati Bengals: 42.3729 Points
              #29 - Atlanta Falcons: 40.6032 Points
              #30 - Carolina Panthers: 38.3619 Points
              #31 - Jacksonville Jaguars: 9.9472 Points
              #32 - Houston Texans: 9.4392 Points

              *The Titans won the 1960 and 1961 AFL Championship while playing as the Houston Oilers.

                I'm surprised winning a SB counts for so little for the Jets. Does your method have recency bias?

                    There are a lot of REALLY bad years offsetting that.

                      Only to the extent that the NFL plays 2 more games than it did back in the day, but that has no impact on the weight given to Super Bowl titles. Keep in mind that the Jets have historically struggled as a franchise. They only have 4 division titles, have one of the worst winning percentages, have only 14 playoff appearances, and 1 Super Bowl appearance. Had they lost Super Bowl III, the Jets would likely be fighting with the Panthers for the #30 spot.

                      It's really a similar case with the Saints. They have a recent Super Bowl win, but have also historically struggled as a franchise. They sit behind the Jets because they have 4 fewer playoff appearances, 5 fewer playoff wins, and the second worst winning percentage in the NFL. Without their title, they would likely be below the Panthers.

                        There are only 2 teams that didn't win a title that haven't been listed yet...Buffalo and Minnesota. The Chargers and Titans both have AFL titles...not sure how much weight he gave to those. Two other teams with a single super bowl win are left too...Kansas City and Seattle. It's really not that bad especially if you give the Chargers/Titans championships or near championship points for their AFL titles.

                            The Vikings own an NFL Championship title to their record, back when the Super Bowl was held between the two competing leagues, not conferences.

                              Yes, I know the Vikings have an NFL championship, but it is not considered a "Championship" because it was during the Super Bowl era...overlooked the Buffalo titles though in my haste to make the post.

                                The NFL considers it a Championship.
