the casualness of tim cahill just dobbing over a place kick from 40 metres out off his wrong foot on the rugby league footy show was pretty impressive.

Twitterfeed/Newsfeed being filled with offended Miami heat haters.
I'm not even a fan but it's hilarious how much people hate them just because they're so dominant.

It's their fans, the way in which they were put together, and players that irritate people including myself.

But in saying that, there are many out there who hate them because they're good as well.
 
It's strange that basketball - where a single match is generally pretty close right till the end - is easily the least equalised of the four major american sports - miami heat have gone back to back, lakers 09-10, lakers 2000-2002 and between 1999 and 2007 (9 seasons) the lakers and spurs won 7 between them.

NHL hasn't had back to back champions since 97-98 red wings, and since then have only had three teams win consecutive conference finals - stars 99-00, pens 08-09 and red wings 08-09.

New England was the last back to back Super Bowl team in 04-05, and no team has contested two consecutive super bowls since. in fact in the NFC there have been 11 different teams go to the super bowl in the last 12 years (sadly not the cowboys), with only the giants doubling up.

baseball same story - yankees 98-2000 was the last back to back (ended up a threepat) winners. and similarly only phillies 08-09 and rangers 10-11 made back to back world series, although the giants (10 and 12), cardinals (06 and 04) and yankees (01 and 03) have nearly done so.

I think with basketball it's due to the ability of superstars to have such a huge impact on the game due to the amount of players playing at once.

Moreso to do with the volume of games - The fact that success is a result of as many as seven games as opposed to one means that getting unlucky in close games means a lot less, and talent tends to override.

The same teams tend to be relatively big markets with stars, so their consistent edge in talent gets them over the edge.

Baseball is a different game altogether when it's just ridiculously unbalanced, and although a team MAY go far one year, the lack of continuity is expressed when they sell half of their players to the big boys.

That's a good point.

Seven game series have stamped out many upsets, and the chances of a team like Miami choking are quiet small.

The volume of games definitely gives players like LeBron, Kobe, Shaq, Duncan and so on chances to assert their dominance.
 
In the late 80's the rise of E was seen as one of the reasons terrace violence at football games started to decline.


An industry that can fill a swimming pool with giant cans has a large influence and is keeping all the competition illegal.

I stopped taking ecstasy years ago because I'd just get speed/sugar/caffeine pills that do nothing except leave me lighter in the pocket.
