    The 1995 expansion were also by far the friendliest of of the 4 modern NFL expansion drafts. A lot of people see the 1995 expansion draft as an overcorrection to the dreadful results of the 1976 expansion draft. The Buccaneers of course went winless in their first season and the Seahawks only...

    The Bucs made it to the NFC Championship game in their 4th season, which is practically an eternity compared to 1 or 2 seasons. Only 2 players from the expansion draft were still in Tampa by then. By 1979 the Bucs were able to have four years of draft picks, trades, and waiver wire hunting to...

    Expansion teams are designed to be bad. Owners wouldn't allow expansion in the first place if they weren't guaranteed to be a punching bag to start off with. Expansion drafts exist to give teams filler players that they can have to merely survive the season without being blown out of the water...

    "ZeroDivisionError/km^2" is hilarious but I think "N/A" or something along those lines would be more accurate for a proper wikibox

    Gruden was a good fit for Favre. He was on Holmgren's offensive staff in the 90's. He left before the Packers won Super Bowl XXXI but Gruden was around to help develop Favre. I think they would mesh very well together. Favre was still very good until he tore his bicep, assuming that doesn't...

    Largent wasn't even drafted by Seattle, the Oilers took him and was a training camp roster cut and the Seahawks took him off a scrap heap. Largent greatly benefited from being on a terrible expansion team with little established stars to get immediate playing time and volume. Even with the...

    15 seeded Toledo upset 2 seed Duke in the first round, but then lost to Duke in the Sweet 16, and then a 1 seeded Duke went on to win the tournament? None of that makes any sense, Duke would have to be a 1, 2, and 3 seed all at the same time

    Good god I made this six years ago Honestly, I'm not sure you're going to get a Favre/Sanders pairing if Barry is drafted by the Packers in 1989. Favre was the pet project of Ron Wolf, Wolf wanted to draft Favre with the Jets but got sniped by the Falcons one spot ahead of him, and then when...

    Culverhouse is still gonna fuck up that team because he was a terrible owner, regardless of how successful Tampa was in 1979. Maybe Doug Williams gets a second chance earlier than he did with the allure of being a Super Bowl leading QB, but considering they didn't bite OTL I'm not sure anything...

    Why didn't US sports develop "clubs"?

    The professionalization and mass consumption of organized sport doesn't come easily. There's a reason it developed best in Britain and the US, there takes a certain amount of disposable income and free time for recreational sport to popularize. I think @Peg Leg Pom raised a good point about...

    Why didn't US sports develop "clubs"?

    I think a point that also needs to be considered is that major sport as we know it today is very much a British invention. The UK was the predominant power in the world during the infancy of mass organized sport and many of the world's most popular sports originate from there. All the sports...
