I'm not liking the lack of NFL parity

[EnergizedLib]

After being old enough to remember the start of New England's dynasty, Tom Brady miraculously finding wins out of nowhere and terrorizing the league, we don't get a reprieve, we get a successor.

Five Super Bowl appearances in six years, and that one year was a loss in the AFC Championship in overtime.

We just saw this matchup two years ago, and we're seeing it again so soon.

We live in a world right now where the NBA has more parity than the NFL and I actually appreciate the NBA more in times like these - where, since 2019, two franchises have won their first NBA Championship, another won for the first time in 50 years and nobody has repeated. I think this year, it comes down to three teams - OKC, Cleveland and Boston, but that's less predictable than, "LOL, Chiefs win again!" Giannis, Jokic and Tatum have rings, with SGA having a great chance at joining them this year.

Meanwhile, Lamar Jackson might be on his way to a third MVP and no Super Bowl appearances. Josh Allen is a top three quarterback in the league and no Super Bowl appearances.

The Dodgers have such deep pockets and it's annoying, but in the 21st Century, we have yet to see a team win back-to-back World Series Championships. Maybe in some years, you can buy *a* ring, but when was the last time an MLB team bought a dynasty? The 2010s Giants had many homegrown stars leading the way and never went back-to-back. More than half the league has won a World Series Championship this century, and it's 2025 and the biggest dynasty there's been so far was a Giants team that never repeated.

The NHL has had two repeats in the last 10 years in the Penguins and Lightning, but even then, the Capitals, Blues, Golden Knights and Panthers have all won their first Stanley Cups in that timespan, too.

The NFL has what? Brady, Brady, Brady and Mahomes, Mahomes, Mahomes.

And unless it's my favorite team that's the dynasty, it's not fun. I find sports more enjoyable when there are different teams winning, when there are different teams in the mix, and it's fresh and it's unpredictable and I can't see a team winning from a million miles away.

But maybe that's just me.
