pmoehrin Posted June 21, 2011 Share Posted June 21, 2011 I take all of these "rankings" with a grain of salt.There's no real method to them. How the hell do you rank on field effort? I'd say its about as subjective as you can get.The Ultimate Team Rankings are just a small step above Titletown and Who's Now. Just something to provide filler during the Summer months.

Drakonius26 Posted June 21, 2011 Share Posted June 21, 2011 Seems like a good time to post this that I made.All the photo sites make it small, but fun facts... The Spurs are the best, the Knicks are the worst, and they forgot the New York Giants in 2004.Damn straight, and just like it should be. San Antonio is extremely loyal to their Spurs, and have always been considered the Green Bay of the NBA for how much they support their team.

NJTank Posted June 21, 2011 Share Posted June 21, 2011 Glad I didn't see the franchise rankings in 2003Reds - 93rdBengals - 118thBlue Jackets - 119thAlso, the Bengals were as high as 19th as recently as 2006. Now they're dead last. I hate this team so much.I hear Mike Brown is leading the hardliners and actually wants to already spike the 2011 and 2012 season and completly break the players back and have an entire new structure where salaries dont rise above $5 million and team caps are set at $50 million with no lineman being able to make more the $500,000. www.sportsecyclopedia.com For the best in sports history go to the Sports E-Cyclopedia at http://www.sportsecyclopedia.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
north dakota Posted June 21, 2011 Share Posted June 21, 2011 How are the Lightning ranked higher than the Sabres? The Sabres have a great owner, great fans, a decent team, and great coaching. Every regular season game has a playoff atmosphere. Woah! You think I'm Cody? My name is Carl Scott Simone and we just happen to share a birthday. BIG DEAL.

RyanB06 Posted June 21, 2011 Share Posted June 21, 2011 The Nationals are ahead of the Red Sox in 2011.And the Yankees are ahead of both of them?! Unless the chart's upside-down, it's lost all credibility.

pmoehrin Posted June 21, 2011 Share Posted June 21, 2011 I lost any remaining shred of respect I had for ESPN when they started that "Who's Now?" nonsense years ago.Still trying to figure out what the hell it was about. Think half the people voting were as well. Is it a popularity contest? Is it whos the better athlete? The criteria was about as vague as you could get.Again with the franchise rankings its not even worth getting upset over. It doesen't prove anything. The best franchise is the one that is the best at winning and making money with its available resources. Those are about the only two criteras I judge on. If things like fan relations, or player effort are really that bad then they'll show up at the box office and in the win/loss column. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Santa gave them special sand-skates that allowed them to play in shorts and t-shirts in 115 degree weather. Jesus, Zeus and Buddha watched from the sidelines and ate cotton candy.

Cujo Posted June 21, 2011 Share Posted June 21, 2011 I lost any remaining shred of respect I had for ESPN when they started that "Who's Now?" nonsense years ago.I didn't mind "Who's Now?" when compared to their non-stop coverage of "ESPN4: The Neverending Saga of Our Lord and Savoir Brett Lorenzo Favre".Sounds like a great new spin-off topic though...
