    Super Bowl Era - Name & List the Top 3 Teams in the modern age of the NFL
    I shall start. It has been almost half a decade since SB I.

    1) Dallas Cowboys - 8 Super Bowl appearances, with 5 rings. The 3 defeats in the Super Bowls they lst were by a combined total of 11 points. They were 1 step behind Green Bay in the 60's, competed at high level in the 70's with 2 championships. In the 80's after the Dwight Clark miracle catch they stepped back awile until Jerry Jones took over. 90's no question, dominated them with 3 Super Bowl crushings. If Dallas had won the ice bowl and the NFL championship in the 60's in very 2 tough losses to Green Bay, todays trophy would have been called the Tom Landry tropy, in all respect to Vince Lombardi. Since 1996 there has been a lull, with but 2 wins in 4 playoff tries. Considering the complete half decade, the Dallas Cowboys stand out as the best.

    2) Pittsburgh Steelers - 6 Super Bowl appearances with 5 rings. Really dominated the 70's, but they earn the 2nd tier placing because of their organizations very strong foundation and principles. Only 3 coaches, with a philosophy of a strong running game and rock solid defense. Their lone loss in the Super Bowl was to the top pick in 1996, 27-17.

    3) San Francisco 49ers - There 5 Super Bpwl championships were so impressive with Montana, Young, Bill Walsh and company they come in the 3rd spot here. The wins in such a short period of time were so impressive they get the show spot. The 70's, 80's, 90's and currently they have maintained winning teams fielded that mostly always compete.

    Dallas hasn't done anything in 20 years.

    Steelers win your contest.

      PAtriot and Packer fans can argue they could be top 3. But not sure there is another argument out there.

              Detroit Lions
              Arizona Cardinals

              Eagles have never won a super bowl. That has to be real hard on the fan base.

                Not Packers. Too much laspe in the 70's, 80's, 90's. They've slept a minimum of 60% of the time during the era.

                  Worst 3 for your cranial enjoyment:

                  1) Philadelphia Eagles
                  2) Cleveland Browns
                  3) St. Louis/Arizona Cardinals

                    Detroit has also sucked as a city since the Super Bowl ERA.

                      True Detroit has sucked the donkey dong, but who do you bump out of the top of the bottom 3?

                      Not Philly, because even with the playoff games and 2 SB appearances, their futility has got to drive their fan base to drinks of Piels and $1.99 gallon Fleischman whiskey.
