Football: Bears
Baseball: Yankees
Basketball: Celtics
Hockey: Montreal
this is all time. You can't say Steelers cause they sucked for 50 years. Can't say Niners cause they didn't exist for 50.
Bears is toughest call. Yanks not really debateable, Lakers are close but Celtics 60's run is unmatchable. Montreal hasn't won in years but it's like football, all time it's them

For NFL it's the Pack.
Steelers will fall to #3 if SF wins the SB.

My problem with the celtics is they won all of their titles in a 10 team league and had the 90s happen to them. Lakers have doubled them in titles since the 70s, and have had nothing close to what happened to the celtics in the 90s

It's been forgotten how horrendous they were before the steel curtain. The name "Steelers" was synonymous with losing.
The Saints inherited that crown, but fortunately we were able to cast it off

You can definitely make an argument for the red wings
