They come from the pre-superbowl era. Cleveland, Green Bay, New York LA, Boston, Chicago, Montreal and Detroit all benefit from, I guess you could call, "legacy" championships. Back when there were only 6 teams in the leagues and everyone had second jobs to support their sport hobby.

Edit: most of these teams actually benefit from legacy championships. Pays to be early.

That happened before running water was invented.

They are under 500 and the city is stoked about them. It is very strange.

It because of the future plus the present. Not hard to understand that… This was the rebuild year and they’re painfully close to being pretty good. Keep your negativity elsewhere.
