@cjduke: Jordan never got pushed to a game 7 in the Finals. All 6 of those titles were not hotly contested battles against teams that we understand now as being equal competitors. Some of his titles w...

@cjduke: NFL parity comes from the following factors: different teams suffer season ruining injuries every year (robbing random teams of talent constantly), players careers are only a few years at mos...
