Most scrutinized sports team in North America?

[FullDJacket]

I mean over time. Not just the past 5 or 10 years. What do you think?


Imo:

Nfl: Dallas Cowboys
Nhl: Toronto Maple leafs
Nba: None
Baseball: New York Yankees + Mets or Boston Red sox
Soccer: U.S National team

[Blizzard of Cos]

Club América

[Gritt]

Cowboys

None? Lakers.
The secret is in the bandwidth they eat up when they suck.

[DaveB]

I agree with the Cowboys.

Only other team that I could add would be Florida State in NCAA football.

[WOLF]

Montreal Canadiens

Pressers in French and English after EVERY game, 24/7 365 coverage in all local media, every practice and scrimmage analyzed. They're right up there with Toronto, but have media in two language to deal with.

[Rainbow Bright]

The San Antonio Spurs. Also: any team that features LeBron James

[Kid-Wicked]

the leafs should change their name to lego.

both their fans and their press are delusional

5 years ago I'd agree with you but with all the clippers controversies and griffins stardom...and the frontrunner mentality in LA.....I'm not sure they're scrutinized. ....nobody cares.

Kobe was out on a media tour recently and nobody cared.

[Tenacious_Dio]

any team that features LeBron James

This is the correct NBA answer.

What? Are you retarded?
What Clippers controversy? If you mean Sterling, that's over & done.
The only other controversy I can think of is how much Doc Rivers &
his team cry & whine like babies after EVERY play that does not go
their way.
Griffin's stardom? Ah, great player, but its not like people go to a Clippers
game to see him play. And since he has decided to become an outside shooter, he has toned down his high flying act unless its an absolute gimme.
Its Chris Paul's team & he can only take them so far.

And as far as your comment on Kobe,,,, beyond stupid.

MLB - Yankees (cubs somewhat)
NFL - Patriots (people got to stop hating)
NBA - lakers
NHL - I have no idea

Basically this.

[pieceofme]

MLB - Yankees (cubs somewhat)
NFL - Patriots (people got to stop hating)
NBA - lakers
NHL - I have no idea

It is definitely the Leafs.

I was going to say all the Canadian teams but didn't want to seem racist.

Lol, well to an extent, but Toronto is far more scrutinised than say Ottawa.

The San Antonio Spurs. Also: any team that features LeBron James

The Cowboys. Also: any team that features Adrian Peterson?

FSU was really only a target the last 2 years because they've been so good and ESPN hates them. Whoever is on top attracts that kind of attention. When FSU starts losing games again no one will care what happens in Tallahassee.

I dunno...FSU has always had a bad rep from what I recall. Maybe it lightened up but there were always jokes about convicts and FSU back in the days of Bowden.

At the height of their last big run, yeah, people took shots. Same people took shots at Miami and Alabama when they were the best. I think it's more a case of "haters gonna hate" - whoever's on top draws attention, and gets put under the microscope. All of their stupid shit gets magnified, until someone else starts winning. But except amongst a handful of haters, Bowden had a pretty good rep as clean guy.

I bet FSU barely makes the news this year unless someone does something REALLY stupid, because we're probably just gonna be a good team, not an epic one. We lost, so the focus is elsewhere.

Yankees hands down. Most powerful rich and winningest franchise in sports
