Real question here...as we watch New England AGAIN in the Super Bowl (14 out of the last 17 SB's have Manning, Brady or Ben I believe).
It's a commonly held belief that there is parity in the NFL unlike no other pro sport. That claim is patently false (at least from a results perspective). So why is that? They do have a strict payroll control, why doesn't that equal parity results?
(Link: http://www.espn.com/mlb/story/_/id/14713796/super-bowl-50-mlb-greater-parity-nfl) This story is a year old and another will be coming out in the next 2 weeks, but it's still just as relevant. We still had the Pats, Steelers, Packers, and Seahawks (yawn).
I'd be curious what people on here think the reason is.
