Somehow missed this the first time, but I really don't understand the animosity here. I'm a fan of football, I watch all other divisions. My point was basic, and easy to grasp, but you seemed to have missed it. Every year some teams get better, some teams get worse, philosophies change, personnel changes, playing style changes. You cannot focus in on one team in the offseason and prepare for anybody given what happened the year before. I'm a sports fan in general and the Sox play in one of the toughest divisions in the league. The first year the Rays turned it around, nobody saw them carrying that all the way through. Teams do different things every year. Also the broncos are in there with- chargers, chiefs and raiders. Really nothing to write home about there when you consider the norv turner years in San Diego. The chiefs were OK last year, but they've been over .500 what, 2 maybe 3 times in the past 10 years? And finally it's home to arguably the worst team in the league of the last 10 years.
