Since 1999
Titans: 104-72
Cardinals: 68-108
Panthers: 87-89
Seahawks: 91-85

Yeah, the Titans are just like those other teams.

Sacramento sold out about a trillion straight NBA games at one point. Didn't mean they weren't a meaningless, jerkwater franchise. It proved, like Mullet City, they have nothing else to do.

How is it subjective? Are you saying Sacramento didn't have a massive sellout streak? Are you saying they aren't a jerkwater outpost who even in their best days were no more than Washington Generals to the Lakers' Globetrotters? You know? Kind of like the Oilers have spent pretty much their entire NFL tenure being Pittsburgh's *****.

What separates Tennessee football from Pittsburgh or Michigan State? Oh, right, consistent regular season wins.

Yeah, I was just thinking how awesome I feel when UT finishes an 8 win season. I revel in laughing at all the 4 win teams. Oh, wait. That simply means you're a higher rung on the ladder of insignificance. Nevermind.

In other words, unless you win the Super Bowl, a 12-4 team is just like an 0-16 one. Neither is more successful than the other, since there is only one successful team per season. Gotcha.

The Cowboys were in the playoffs last year. Remind me what the Oilers did in the postseason last year. If the Cowboys are the Notre Dame of the NFL, does that make the Oilers the Kansas State or South Florida of the pro game?

For some reason they remind me of South Carolina.

You're right. I've obviously overlooked the massive difference between 9-7 and 7-9. How could I have missed that?

Hard to tell, especially when one team has 2-3 times as many playoff appearances and conference championship appearances as the others. They're obviously equal.

I take it this is going towards that the Minnesota Vikings, Buffalo Bills, Cincinnati Bengals, Philadelphia Eagles, SanDiego Chargers, Atlanta Falcons, Tennessee Titans, Carolina Panthers, Seattle Seahawks, Arizona Cardinals, Detroit Lions, Cleveland Browns, Jacksonville Jaguars, and Houston Texans would all be considered very bad teams under this logic?

They certainly can't be called winners.

It's the NFL, genius. No team is going to have a record that far from .500. But the Titans are top 5 in the NFL over that period, and the other teams are all in the bottom half, so yes, that's a fairly significant difference.

What do they have to show for all of the regular season "excellence?" Getting to watch Ray Lewis cut the heart out of their best team by stripping fraudulent icon Eddie George and taking the ball to the house? Getting annihilated by Oakland in an AFC title game that was about as competitive as an Oklahoma-Iowa State game? Coming up short against a St. Louis team Tom Brady and Co. handled when they got a shot at them? The heartbreak of watching Pittsburgh raise two more trophies in that period? Playing second fiddle in their own division to fellow chokemasters the Indianapolis Colts? Did I miss anything?

personally, I've always had somewhat of a problem with it being "just Super Bowls" rather than total championships with a team.....mainly because this league's been around since the 1920s or 1930s (90-80 years) yet as judgement we tend to look at something that's only been around the last 44 years as the sole decider of a franchise's history

this isn't me saying that "Team X should be viewed better" or "Team Z is better than Y" here...this is me just criticizing how the common current system works with the general sports fan

:steps off soapbox:

Well apparently, the Titans have to either be equivalent to Super Bowl champions or equivalent to the Arizona Cardinals and Detroit Lions. There's no in-between, of course.

So, teams with equivalent numbers of championships, like Georgetown and La Salle in basketball, are always equal. Right. Jim Boeheim needs to work on making his team better than Holy Cross.

If you want to go back that far in history, the Browns' resume crushes the Oilers'. Is that the point you're trying to make? That Cleveland is better than Houston's Old Team? Ok, I'll agree.

It doesn't even need to go that far back. By your standard, Gary Williams is a winner and Calipari is a loser. No excuses.

My point is clear and it's that everyone other than the champion isn't the same. It really isn't that difficult to understand.

He's not trying to make a point to you. He's having fun with this.
