    We're talking entire league championships, no conference title game shit

    Jim Kelly would be a 4 time SB winner...
    Jordan 0-6


    supplemental questions, do your teams gain or lose rings? Celtics would lose a lot

    Bucs would have 0 Super Bowl wins and while Florida would have avoided the beatdown against Nebraska in 95, it would have suffered a significantly more embarrassing loss in the championship game the following year. Plus the whole Meyer/Tebow run would have had all those arrests/murders but no rings to show for it.

    Dolphins- Marino has a ring and is rightly considered a top 2-3 QB of all time.

    72 perfect season becomes just another footnote like the Patriots run because they didn't finish it off.

    Overall record becomes 3-2

    Heat-This one is fun

    Wade and Shaq lose to the Mavs in 03 and Dump loses the ability to bitch and moan about the series for eternity

    Lebron wins his 1st and 4th year which potentially means he sticks around instead of bolting back to Cleveland. (This also gets the KD-Westbrook-Harden Thunder a title)

    Also, Heat win the bubble title.

    Overall record stays the same at 3-3.

    Hurricanes Football

    No Fiesta bowl robbery

    No Testaverde collapse against Penn State

    No loss to Bama

    No wins over Nebraska in the early 80s.

    No claim to the GOAT CFB team. Well maybe the Testaverde team?

    Lot of change

    Overall record becomes 4-5

    Florida Marlins

    No Livan over Cleveland and no Beckett over the Yankees

    New record 0-2

    Florida Panthers

    Instead of getting swept in 96 one of the worst teams to ever play for the cup becomes the worst team to win the cup.

    New record 1-0

    Only slightly worse than Trent Dilfer and Brad Johnson (and with the “Game Manager” iteration of Tom Brady sandwiched between those two) The losers to Dilfer and Johnson are the two worst QB performances in Super Bowl History. Kerry Collins with 4 ints and Rich Gannon with 5.

    Ohio State wins national titles in football if they win their bowl game following 1970, 1975, 1979, 2006, 2007, and 2020. We lose 1968, 2002 and 2014 titles.

    Imo he leaves anyway because regardless he couldn’t get people to join him in Cleveland. But instead of Miami I think him and wade go to Chicago.
