      Nor does anyone count the 85 Bears as the greatest team ever. They were fun to watch. They were one of the greatest defenses ever until Seattle's rise. But their offense couldn't win the ACC.

          It would be appreciated.

          I'm curious to see where Da Bears wind up. If you are taking a long view, they'd have to be in top 15 or so; George Halas was a major force behind the NFL, invented the T-formation, # 2 on list of winningest coaches, Bears are # 2 on list of teams with most NFL/Super Bowl wins....some people consider the '85 Bears the best NFL team ever....though they might be just behind the Packers (again).
          Granted, they had the best Super Bowl Shuffle, but....c'mon, man.

              Um, the Bears had the 2nd ranked offense that season for points scored (in case trix asks that's offensive points only) and they were 5th in Y/P. Certainly the defense gave them the ball a lot but Y/P is an excellent indicator they weren't just a, "cloud of dust" type team with the ball including 4th in Y/Pass Att that year.

                So they were among the leaders in one season?

                Where do they rank on offensive points and Y/P all-time?

                They were 8th in all-time defense as of 2015, which is great.

                    72. Pittsburgh Pirates


                    Why? They want to be as exciting as The Pirates of the Caribbean but seem more like Gilligan’s Island giving their fans a boring three-hour tour.

                    The Good. Five World Series Championships, 1909, 1925, 1960, 1971, 1979. The Pirates were perennial contenders in the 1970’s and early 1990’s.

                    The Bad. After losing Barry Bonds and Bobby Bonilla to free agency, the Pirates had 20 straight losing seasons. Currently a 38 season pennant drought which beats out their 33 season pennant drought after losing to the Yankees in the 1927 World Series.

                    The Ugly. Manager Lloyd McClendon stole first base…literally. Randal Simon knocked out a Milwaukee Running Sausage with his bat.

                    Where they play. PNC Park, considered one of the nicest stadiums in baseball, which is a shame because the Pirates generally play so crappy.

                    Owner: Robert Nutting, became owner in 2007 prior to that he ran a newspaper company in West Virginia, (I sense irony)

                    Manager: Clint Hurdle, just finished his seventh season as Pirates manager, was the manager of the Rockies for their one pennant in 2007.

                    Top Current Players: Andrew McCutcheon, Josh Bell, and Gerrit Cole.

                    Hall of Famers…Honus Wagner, Paul Waner, Pie Traynor, Bill Mazeroski, Ralph Kiner, Willie Stargell, Roberto Clemente,

                    Up Next….The Minnesota Vikings

                      Remember that like it was yesterday. An afternoon World Series game that ended during my lunch hour (in Colorado). A friend had new-fangled, battery powered transistor radio.

                        71. San Jose Sharks


                        Why? The men in teal, who try and play like the men of steel, but usually end up rusty in the end.

                        The Good. Won their first Western Conference Championship in 2016, have made the playoffs 18 out of the last 20 seasons.

                        The Bad. 71 losses in their second season. If you made the playoffs 18 out of 20 times, you would think you’ve come up with more than just one Cup Final.

                        The Ugly. This is the NHL’s second attempt in the Bay Area, with San Francisco too cramped, Oakland too crappy, why not San Jose? The California/Oakland Golden/Seals were one of the expansion six in 1967. However, the team played poorly and moved to become the Cleveland Barons in 1976. You know its bad when you ‘move’ to Cleveland. In 1978, the NHL approved the merger of the Barons and Minnesota North Stars. Hence the Barons, are the last defunct team of the four major professional sports leagues.

                        Where they play. SAP Center, where the fans are treated like saps. As an expansion team the Sharks played at the Cow Center until the San Jose Arena was ready for them.

                        Owner: San Jose Sports & Entertainment (led by Hasso Plattner), who happens to own the German software company SAP SE

                        Coach: Peter DeBoer, DoBoer is coaching this third team, after tenures in Florida and New Jersey. DoBoer has been to two Stanley Cup Finals, however his teams always regress after the first season.

                        Top Current Players: Joe Thornton, Brent Burns, Logan Couture, Joe Pavelski

                        Hall of Famers…several have had cups of coffee but no one that stayed on the Sharks for the long term.

                        Up Next….The Minnesota Vikings
