As I was watching Alabama routinely destroying yet another opponent the other night, I got to wondering if there have been any other sports teams so dominant for so long at any time. After thinking it over the only ones I could come up with in that class were the New York Yankees, New England Patriots, UCLA basketball and the Boston Celtics. Any others?

Niche sport with fewer teams…hell, even the Maple Leafs were consistently good.
They must have really liked their sister …
Of course that’s not as bad as Michigan’s campaign the year before we started playing B1G football: 9-0-3. I mean what was the point? Every game is tied before you start …
