    True.

    I could sign for the Chargers after they've gone through enough injuries.

    Has a baseball team never gone on a 16 game win or loss streak?

    What are you proposing? a longer schedule? That's preposterous with the beating they take in football games.
    I'm not suggesting anything's wrong with the schedule dumbass! I have made my point loud and clear. The schedule has nothing to do with anything. "Say" it as slow as you want. The season length is fine, the self proclaimed parity league is ****ed.

    The season length is why a team is able to go 0-16.

    It's not that difficult of a concept to comprehend.

    And the fact that a team has gone winless for only the 2nd time in the 43 years of the modern era does not take away, in any form, from the NFL's parity.

    The season length is the reason why? I thought it was the lack of talent. Parity means equality. 0-16 is far from that! So is 16-0!! Its not that hard of a concept to comprehend. If you want to think there is parity, fine go ahead. I will see it as how it is.

    An undefeated season has only happened twice in modern NFL history.

    A winless season has only happened twice (three teams had ties).
    2003 Hybrid World Champion (115-47 reg season, 11-4 playoffs)

    TBL: Anaheim Angels 2006-present (238-244 regular season, 1 division title)
    MSL: St Louis Cardinals 2013-present (2734-2936 regular season, 5 division titles, 2 championships)
    TSSL: Seattle Mariners 2006-2029, Pittsburgh Pirates 2030-present (209-277, 5 division titles w/SEA, 1 championship w/SEA)

    Naturally it takes a shitty team to go 0-16, just like it takes a shitty baseball team to go on a 16 game losing streak. (which has happened before)

    Do you honestly think the Detroit Lions are going to lose their next 144 games? Of course they're not. The odds of that happening are right up there with the odds of a baseball team going 0-162.

    Furthermore, we're talking about 1 team out of 32 here. It's stupid to say that because one team goes 0-16 there isn't that much parity regardless of what the other 31 teams are doing.

    The 72 Bucs were worse.

    The Lions at least played some close games.

    Its stupid to say there's a level playing field when there isn't, obviously. A 16-0 team and a 1-15 team last year and now a 0-16 team. Parity is running thin. Lions have the worst record in the modern era, they get my vote. Like you try and claim, they had more games to lose. You think there is parity, I just don't see it and think there is more in baseball.

    Re: Congrats To The Detroit Lions!!!

    That 1-15 team from last year won their division this year and you're using them to back your argument up?

    It's like talking to a brick wall.

    The Nationals lost over 100 games this year, therefore there's no parity in baseball!

    I disagree.

    When a team can lose 100 games, ONE HUNDRED GAMES, it proves there's no parity.

    Parity in baseball is a myth.

    Disagree all you want, the season length has nothing to do with it There is more of a level playing field. If its a muth, it was started by me and not self proclaimed by a corporation just saying it. This conversation....is over!
