This topic comes up all the time at work, and I want S&T's input:
Why do people bring titles/championships/etc. up from 10+ years ago when arguing about current teams?
There is no bonus given out before games if your team won a championship in the 90s. You don't get to start the game with 3 points for every chip you've won - so what's the point in bringing them up?
It's one thing if you argue something recent - but to say (as an example) "even though the Cowboys lost, they still have 5 rings!" makes you sound like an idiot.
YES, as a franchise, your team may have more championships than mine. HOWEVER, what does that have to do with the current product on the field? Just because your team WAS amazing doesn't mean that they'll all of a sudden get back to dominance. Times change, so why do people continue to hold onto stuff for so long?
