Put it like this. Of Pele’s top 100 players ever, 21 of them played for Real Madrid and more than half the list is South Americans or Africans who never left their country from back in the 50s and 60s

Okay, I think I'm understanding clearer now. Respectfully, I don't know THAT much about Real Madrid but we're learning

But it’s been 15 years since they made the World Series so ManU fits too.

Yeah that’s why I mentioned the Yankees. Star power and the fact they have double the number of appearances and titles over the second place team.

But beyond the success, it’s the players. Real Madrid’s history is stacked with an absurd number of the greatest to ever play the game. That’s why the Yankees work. Same for the Lakers. That’s a lot of heavy lifting for ol TB12

Hell throw the Broncos in there. They took all those Ls in Super Bowls between the 70s and 90s

There are multiple NFL teams with that though. Steelers, 49ers, Packers, Cowboys

You ain't wrong but we talking about closest. Sustained success over 20ish years is probably your closest bet, no?

Them boys were playing pro ball for 41 years before their first Super Bowl

That’s recency bias speaking

Patriots would probably be the closest in football, but it doesn't even touch any of those other ones

gonna have to disagree with ya, brodie

$110M guaranteed when mans are dropping with blown up knees and ankles by Week 4 is wild but get your money, black man

$35M per for a WR is brazy but Jetta is #him

I guess the Lakers would also work. Yeah, Yankees in baseball, Lakers in basketball. Doesn't exist in football. There is no real dominant team across the entirety of the history of the NFL.

Although as of late, the Yankees have been more Manchester United than Real Madrid

Probably. I can't think of a better US analog

Would you conflate Real Madrid to the Yankees in baseball?

Oh ok they aren’t bringing back the HS season. Yeah I’ll probably go through with it on NCAA13

The end of an era and the beginning of another.
