wheateater Posted February 17, 2005 Share Posted February 17, 2005 They say they didn't rank the NHL this year, but they don't say why. If it's because of the lockout ( ), why not say so, or simply rank the teams by last year's compilaton?

Well without knowing free agent signings, new coaches, ticket prices, etc. it might be hard to grade some of those categories. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slapshot Posted February 17, 2005 Share Posted February 17, 2005 How can the Patriots not be ranked #1 in the NFL? I don't always understand ESPN's logic with these things. Back-to-Back Fatal Forty Champion 2015 & 2016 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BBTV Posted February 17, 2005 Share Posted February 17, 2005 This ranking is bogus!They ranked the Phillies ownership at #69. Anyone that follows the team knows they deserved no higher than last.

CaolinaJoe Posted February 17, 2005 Share Posted February 17, 2005 I like how the Expos(Nationals) are #4 in Bang for the Buck.(Bang for the Buck): Revenues directly from fans divided by wins in the past three years "It is the soldier, not the reporter, who has given us freedom of thepress. It is the soldier, not the poet, who has given us freedom ofspeech. It is the soldier, not the campus organizer, who has given usthe freedom to demonstrate. And it is the soldier who salutes theflag, serves beneath the flag, whose coffin is draped by the flag, andwho allows the protester to burn the flag."Marine Chaplain Dennis Edward O' Brien Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WSU151 Posted February 17, 2005 Share Posted February 17, 2005 How can the Patriots not be ranked #1 in the NFL? I don't always understand ESPN's logic with these things. Did you look at the rankings? The affordability factor kills the Patriots. Otherwise, they'd be a lock for the #1 spot. Smart is believing half of what you hear. Genius is knowing which half.
