But all that changed with the $36 million salary cap penalty for contracts signed in an uncapped year and approved by the league, all orchestrated by that rat bastard Mara. So from that point on the Giants are at the top of my list.
Cowboys fans outside of Texas give Cowboys fan a bad name.

It just wasn't called superbowl in the early 60's
but then we have to admit that Cleveland won a championship. And noone wants that.

I was born in 1959. If I claimed a title won in 1960 now that would be absurd. Most football fans today separate the Super Bowl era from the era before it. Hell every Eagles fans I banter online with admit they are this guy:

Not really, because without the previous era you would not have the history of the NFL and football. I guess I'm too old, 1947, and I live 40 minutes from Titletown, where they count 13 championships! Titletown, a protected trademark.

You can count anything. Same for all the older teams, but pre SB era, there were fewer teams and its not really a fair fight to count wins when most teams didn't even exist.

The true conversation is pre ...and post SB era championships. 2 different arguments

Decades? Online for decades??? When did the internet and blogging really get going strong??? I'm saying there are more than one school of thought on this and the dividing line is usually age related! Sorry if you think I'm bragging! I think the Redskins have 5 championships and entitled to my opinion.

Does that mean we have to Kick all those PRE SUPER BOWL ERA players out of the HALL OF FAME??? If Canton recognizes those players and if the NFL Recognizes those teams and those Championships then so do I.. To ignore them seems like a big slap in the face to those teams and those players who played prior to 1970. Instead of ignoring them, we should be thanking them, we should be praising them because without them there would no NFL today.
