You would think Ram would use factual stuff to try and make his claim. Such as how it took 13 seasons for the NFC South to have a repeat division champion. Or that from 2003 to 2009, the last place team in the division the previous season, would end up making the playoffs the very next season, often as that season's division champion.

Or that you had two different teams from the NFC South make the Super Bowl in consecutive years (2003 and 2004). Lets look at how many times that has happened (DIFFERENT teams from the same division making the Super Bowl one year after the other).
You had it happen in:
2013/2014 (San Francisco/Seattle)
2003/2004 (Tampa Bay/Carolina)
1991/1992/1993 (NY Giants, Washington, Dallas). That was a great time to be in the NFC East! Too bad the Eagles weren't worthy of a title along with 3/5ths of their division.
1987/1988 (NY Giants/Washington)
1985/1986 (Miami/New England)
1977/1978 (Oakland/Denver)
1972/1973 (Dallas/Washington)
It's amazing, after happening twice in the 70s and 80s (including in a four year stretch from 85 to 88), it would only happen 3 times in the three decades since then. I wonder why the NFL suddenly decided to change their scripts and stop spreading the wealth of Super Bowl visits among division rivals.
And my oh my, the NFL really had a hard-on for the NFC East when they were writing this scripts at the beginning of the 90s. Letting the Giants, Redskins and Cowboys ALL win a Super Bowl title in consecutive years. That was incredibly nice of the NFL to allow that!
