I was going to sit down and do a quick comparison like I did last year, comparing the records of the teams in the MLS to the teams in England.  If I remember right, the last year the EPL had a huge spread between the best and worst teams, while the MLS clubs were really pretty closely bunched together.  

But before I spend time doing that, you should read this excellent article by Jeremiah Oshan at SBNation.com.  It’s one of the better researched and more interesting sports articles I’ve read in a while.
