For nine years ESPN Magazine has been releasing an "Ultimate Standings" list that ranks every team in the MLB, NHL, NBA, and NFL. This gigantic super-chart bases it's decision on eight different categories: Bang for the Buck, Fan Relations, Ownership, Affordability, Stadium Experience, Players, Coaching, and Title Track.
So now I'm going to gloat.
#1 overall? Green Bay Packers.
And how could they be anything but? The reigning Super Bowl champions have spectacular players and a near legendary stadium experience. And if you aren't convinced of the current greatness of Aaron Rodgers, just give this article a read.
#30 overall and #8 MLB Team? Milwaukee Brewers. If only they had more "Title Track" potential. But hey, having one of the highest stadium experiences in all sports is pretty spectacular. And as of this typing, they are #1 in the NL Central. High five boys. (Though yesterdays 12-7 loss to the Cubs was pretty heartbreaking).
And Speaking of the Cubs? #112 overall. Out of 122. Hah.
Yeah, we all have those teams we just don't like. Minnesota Vikings - #106. Chicago Bears - #74. New York Yankees - #75 (with one of the worst affordability ratings out there). Vancouver Canucks - #43... which isn't awful but worse than than the Hawks at least. If only my beloved Blackhawks were more affordable. #36 overall, with insanely expensive ticket prices.
I don't follow the NBA even remotely, but I'm not shocked at the horrible placement of the Milwaukee Bucks. The Bradley Center is pretty gross.
