All but two NFC teams have made it to the Super Bowl in the past 20 years.
Over 70% of teams in the NFL (23 of 32) have made it to the Super Bowl in that span, even with the recent Patriots/Colts/Steelers surge.

The MLB can't boast that percentage. While we're at it, since we're using the Patriots/Colts/Steelers as a reference, it seems only fair to point out that the Yankees/Red Sox/Braves account for almost 40% of all WS appearances in the last 20 years.

Last 21 years, 22 out of 30 teams in baseball have made it to the world series, that is 73.3% Go to the arbitrary 20 years, and you have 20 out of 30 teams in the world series for a 66.6%....yep that salary cap is helping tremendously.

The salary cap doesn't make the difference, it's the front office that makes the difference. That is the entire point of opposing a salary cap. The ONLY purpose of a salary cap is to give the owners more money.
