Pro football is close to that, but by and large, you see the same teams most every year go to the playoffs. It's interesting how this is the case when Major League Baseball doesn't have a hard salary cap while the NFL does.
162 games has to have something to do with this. That's brutal. All pro sports is brutal ( some more than others ) but still .... that's why I have so much respect for all pro athletes.
