Greatest sports teams - last 50 years

The Barca teams of 2009-10 and 2010-11.

 

Ferrari 2000-2004.

5 Drivers Championships, 5 Constructors Championships, 57 race wins.

 

Turcotte-Secretariat.

 

The 1961 and 1962 Packers were comparable to the '07 Patriots. They just smoked teams, maybe more impressively because they played a punishing, physical brand of football. The more pass-oriented 1966 Packers had five passes intercepted all season. Second-best was 14 by Dallas. That's quite a disparity.

 

The Soviet national hockey team, 1984-1988

 

These guys?

 

Still meh. That was before the Steelers' defense started to dominate.

Seriously, people in Pittsburgh still insist that '76 Pittsburgh team was the best team of the '70s, though I think you have to give it to a team that actually won a championship. The Raiders lit up that defense twice.

 

That team didn't allow a touchdown in more than 20 quarters. Injuries doomed them at the end.

 

How about the CSKA Moscow teams of that era. It was the '97 Red Wings plus Pavel Bure and Alexandre Mogilny.

 

the '76 steelers? in the four games leading up to the afc championship against the raiders, that defense allowed 17 points. oakland scored 24 on the it in the afc title game. you really going to blame injuries?

 

i do think that was the best team the raiders ever trotted out to a field. a funky patriots team was the only team to beat them that year, and they beat the ever-loving shit out of them. i believe the pats beat pitt that year as well.

i was pretty damn young then, but the nfl was more fun to watch. they took way more risks than they do now.

 

Celtics. Packers. Islanders. Oilers. Yankees.
