Wow. Big words. But not Big Impact. Wait, Comparing the Chickens to the Yanks is supposed to be a bad thing? All that means is we know we will be in contention every year, so what's wrong with that? Can't say that about either of your teams, who both could be compared more to the Bengals of the late 80's. You'll make the playoffs and even do the bengals one better by luckily winning the superbowl one year, but you'll suck for years before and for years afterwards.
Case in point, this year, it is all luck getting to your 7-3 record. You've scored fewer points than the Chickens and been lucky enough to have over 170 fewer points scored against you. Once in a blue moon my friend, once in a blue moon. You better take advantage of it now, because your teams are not going to enjoy the Silver Spoon (

How can the Chickens be compared to the Dodgers? The team's just going to continue to pick up solid players year in and year out (M. Lynch in the latest draft for example...) Two first round draft picks this upcoming offseason, we're sitting pretty.
