I personally think parity has worked great. you have the teams that virtually had no shot in the 70's, 80's and a certain degree in the 90's. these teams now have the financial resources to get players in free agency to compete with the high income teams. Those teams that would not pack the stands and make millions over millions now have butts in the seat and want to build new stadiums, go and get to free agents. I think the reason you see all these teams so close in records is directly related to parity and I think its great for football. "any given sunday" has new meaning. before if the 80's skins or 49ers went up against one of the pats, cards or who ever the lower tear teams were, you knew it wasn't going to be much of a game. Now, you never know. nothing is taken for granted, no win is guaranteed.

love it - great for NFL.
