    rimshot cymbol!!!!!!!!!!! :grin: :grin: :grin:

    nice play on the money ball system but the A's GM really don't spend as much money. It sickens me to admit this but I have to go with the Cincinatti Bengals. Have the talent but always have injuries to key players around playoffs time that hurts you from getting over the hump.

    Hate to ruin your theory, OP, but Joe Torre coaches the Dodgers, not the Yankees.

    A less recognized SF 49ers, big in the 90s with championships and a legendary player/group, fell apart afterward in the late 90s and have been trying to rebuild to its glory days since.

    Not enough Jail Birds on the team, though, the Bengals have frightening number of prospects and fairly good players whose careers have simply just ended by injury or suspension (Rudi Johnson, Odell Thurman, David

    Chris Henry = Eddie Griffin
    Chad "Ocho Cinco" Johnson = Tracy McGrady
    Carson Palmer = Yao Ming (Top 4-10 QB, if healthy = Top 2-3 Center, if healthy, if injured the team does not reach the playoffs, yet both have had a serious of injuries that could put their careers in jeopardy).

    The Bengals often had a high octane offense (that often searched for a good defense to compliment it) = The Rockets had a great defense (that often searched for more skilled offensive players).

    You said "Both lead by coaches..." and I assumed you meant present tense. Sorry for jumping to conclusions.

    And don't forget to list this one among Torre's accomplishments: 2010 World Series Champions :grin:

    Yep I thought about all the injuries that Arsenal had this year, they could relate on that, but one thing they doesnt relate is that the Arsenal keeps being a contender to the title, even with all the injuries.
