Top-10 Consistent Franchises

Over at Pro-Football-Reference Doug has put together a list of the most consistent NFL franchises since 1978.

The site contains some math jargon (translation: cover your room in plastic before visiting the site, whereupon your brain will spew from your ears, sending it's college-altered grey matter everywhere like the frag from an IED) but here are the top-10 teams reproduced without any permission whatsoever. Visit the site for the complete list.

The columns are: 1) Average wins and 2) the average standard deviation from that number year to year.

crd 5.91 1.69

Congrats to the Cardinals, winners of...something. Although with an average of 6 wins a season that's consistency akin to fondling a cookie dough textured tit at the nursing home.
