Sports Journalism Today
On ESPN yesterday, NFL analyst Sean Salisbury was discussing the Colts' 34-31 win over the Broncos.In his usual bellow, Salisbury said the 7-0 Colts were indisputably better than the 2005 team that won its first 12. He offered a highly original rationale to support that contention.
"Those guys were a fantasy football team," Salisbury said of the '05 Colts. "They won games 42-10. This team is winning the close ones week in and week out."
We see. The 2006 Colts are winning games by fewer points than did the '05 team at a similar point in that season. That makes them better. Logically, of course, that means if the Colts LOSE a few games, Salisbury will think they're an even BETTER team.
In fact, taking the Salisbury Theorem to its end point, the best team in the NFL right now is the Arizona Cardinals.

Maybe he was stupidly trying to make an argument that the league today is more competitive than the same time last year, but even that doesn't make much sense...
