  • Royal Rumble: Best Champion of All Time

    Five decades of dominance. Dozens of legendary champions. But only one can claim the ultimate crown.

    After weeks of breaking down, debating, and ranking the absolute best squads from the 1970s, 80s, 90s, 2000s, and 2010s, Dion, Irv, and Jon have finally reached the grand finale. Welcome to the Ultimate Sports Team Royal Rumble.

    In this culmination episode, the fellas are throwing the decade winners into a single, hypothetical ring to fight it out. How do the 1972 Miami Dolphins stack up against the 1995-96 Chicago Bulls? Can the terrifying defense of the 1985 Chicago Bears shut down the nuclear offense of the 2016-17 Golden State Warriors? Where do curse-breakers like the 2004 Boston Red Sox or historical juggernauts like the 1976-77 Montreal Canadiens land when the dust settles?

    Grab your drinks, lock in your picks, and drop your arguments in the comments—this is the debate to end all debates.
