Yankees winning five championships since the Cowboys last SB title is as comparing apples to oranges as it gets. Two words...salary cap.
If Dallas was still allowed to buy the best hired guns like the days of swiping Haley and Sanders they'd be major SB contenders nearly every year.
"Instead of a salary cap,
Major League Baseball implements a
luxury tax (also called a
competitive balance tax), an arrangement in which teams whose total payroll exceeds a certain figure (determined annually) are taxed on the excess amount in order to discourage large market teams from having a substantially higher payroll than the rest of the league. The tax is paid to the league, which then puts the money into its industry-growth fund".
Luxury tax paid (fines for exceeding payroll limit) from 2003-15...
Yankees: $297.6 mil
Dodgers: $81.6
Red Sox: $20.6
Tigers: $1.3
Giants: $1.3
Angels: $0.9
"The New York Yankees have paid 73.78% of all luxury tax collected by MLB."
If buying Super Bowl titles was allowed like the early 90's and still exists in MLB, Dallas would've purchased several more over the last 25+ years.
Certainly not defending Dallas' lame failure to produce Super Bowl seasons under the salary cap structure.
Just saying if NFL teams were only limited by a luxury tax for excessive payrolls, the richest sports organization in the world would dominate on a regular basis.
