1) All teams chip in $10 at the beginning of the year
2) Winner takes 50%, Runner up 25%, Semifinalists 10%, remaining playoff teams split the last 5%
3) City/Team combinations are separate, the Charlotte Hornets are not associated with the New Orleans Hornets, etc.
Totals through the 2012 Super Bowl are included.
Number 121-148 were revealed in part 1
Number 91-120 were revealed in part 2
The third batch (the most average teams in terms of success). In this batch, we tend to see franchises who have been around for 5-10 years with no titles, or teams that were around for all the years with one title or a handful of strong runs. No team in this group has turned a profit, so 60% of teams in this format are in the red. Not surprising since it seems like a handful of teams get more than their share of titles.

Discussion: An odd assortment of teams in this group. Both Grizzlies, both Jazz, both Flames, Buffalo Braves and Buffalo Bills included. Lots of teams from Minneapolis-St. Paul. Then some stalwart franchises like the Eagles, Bears, Dolphins, Twins, and Mets. Twins are the worst team with two titles (again, since 1974). This group seems to prove that you can't get ahead in life without a handful of titles, not just one or several runs.
The break down of this set by league as:
NBA: 9
MLB: 9
NHL: 7
NFL: 5
City with at least two teams and still with no appearances (all teams in the top 40%) is Boston.
Each team is summarized below. A reminder, the years below are the year of the playoffs, so for NFL, 2010 is associated with the 2009 regular season. For best season, playoff performance is given precedence over regular season record.
