Why does it say world champions and not national champions?

I always struggle to get to grips with this and the baseball thing using "world' in place of "American'

World Champions still applies. As there are no football leagues anywhere in the world that competes, or can compete with the NFL.

The NFL tried NFL Europe. That last what, 4 or 5 years. It may be big over there, but no one else has tried to start other leagues.

CFL is the only other country with a professional football league. And they do not care to compete with the NFL. They are perfectly fine doing their own thing. Then the field is a different size, as well as some of the rules.

When winning mattered

When there wasn’t any free agency

They win 3 Super Bowls in the Jerry era...only 2 in the Landry era...

More like the Jimmy era. Jerry just signed the checks.
After those 3 SBs, Winning wasn't top of the list for Jerry, still isn't.
Who would you rather have run things, Tex Schram or Jerry Jones?

When winning mattered

But they never could beat the 70s Steelers.

When class mattered.

Those teams existed in another time when the regular media was controlled by Tex and before social media existed.

There was more debauchery going on with the players than even in the White House era and certainly more than happens today.

I loved those teams too. It was my childhood. But I don’t have on rose colored glasses where I pretend they were something they were not.
