I've been doing a little thinking over the past 24 hours and I've come to the conclusion the the way I set up this contest is flawed. Therefore, I'm going to scrap this contest and start anew. I think I've come up with a better, more streamlined way to do this. Here's how the contest works. First I'll list each team in the 4 Major American Sports Leagues (MLB, NBA, NFL & NHL) that has won at least one championship. (No offense to the fans of the teams that got left out but if a team hasn't won at least one title then they can't be called the greatest.) From that list you select the 8 teams that you believe are the greatest franchises in that sports history. The Elite 8 of each sport if you will. The entire history of the teams should be considered not just where they stand today. The 8 teams in each league that get the most votes will advance to the next part of the contest. Once 8 teams from each sport are determined these 32 teams will be placed in a tournament to crown The Greatest North American Sports Franchise Ever. Finally we will focus on The National Hockey League. MLB Elite 8: Boston Red Sox New York Yankees Los Angeles Dodgers St. Louis Cardinals Atlanta Braves Oakland Athletics San Francisco Giants Chicago Cubs NBA Elite 8: Boston Celtics Los Angeles Lakers Chicago Bulls Detroit Pistons San Antonio Spurs Houston Rockets Philadelphia 76ers New York Knicks NFL Elite 8: (*-Tied. Tiebreaker here: officialfan.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=forumgames&action=display&thread=352673) Green Bay Packers Pittsburgh Steelers San Francisco 49ers New York Giants Chicago Bears Dallas Cowboys New England Patriots Denver Broncos* Indianapolis Colts* Miami Dolphins*

But are the Ducks one of the greatest teams in NHL history? no but they are one of the greatest pee wee teams in history. ending the hawks dynasty, and winning the junior good will games behind the strong skill of Adam Banks, leadership and heart of Charlie Conway, the hard shot of Fulton Reed, and knowledge of Gordon Bombay
