Yeah, it is an issue of what list you get it from. I think this list was published two days post the one that DB Coop brought up from the same site. Microsoft must have had a bad day or two at the stock market.

I remember when the Red Sox won the 2004 World Series, my die hard Red Sox
fan teacher got his car egged, keyed, and slashed. As a die hard Yankees
fan, sometimes I'm amazed by what fellow fans do to Red Sox fans.

Nah, it goes both ways unfortunately, my friend went to Boston and had a
Yankees sticker on the back. The car got broken into and the only things
that were taken were the Yankee's clothes, which were burned next to the car.
There's a reason it's called the most intense rivalry.

No, that is just stupidity. I'm sure alcohol wasn't involved.

The exceptions of the rule that ninjatiamat mentioned everything to do with star power. Same for the jersey sales. GB, Pitt, NO, PHX, SD, until last year, INDY, they are all mid to small markets with stars on their team and that drives the popularlity and sales. It is the fan bases that drives the ownership to pursue stars for their franchises. Can you imagine the backlash if the Rooney family or Jerry Jones, or the Steinbrienners would have from the public if they decided to mail it in for a couple of seasons?
