NFL Parity

You\'re telling me that there aren\'t still teams that seemed destined to win or lose? Arizona, Cincinnati, Detroit (minus the Wayne days), the Aints (minus the Mora years), Seattle, and the Jets aren\'t below .500 far more then they are above it?

San Fran, Green Bay, the Bills, Denver, Oakland, Rams, Pittsburgh, Miami, Cowboys, Eagles, and Giants aren\'t consistently .500 or better?

There is parity in the sense that any team really does have a shot in any year - that wasn\'t the case 10 years ago. However, over the long-term, there are still consistent winners and losers. I\'d be willing to bet that has a lot to do with owners capability to manage well.
