http://blogs.dailylobo.com Below, for your enjoyment, is my take on what’s going on in the sporting world: MLB I wish I had a dollar for every time I heard someone in Albuquerque call him or herself a “disgruntled sports fan.” I would be a millionaire and give the whole journalism gig up. As a sports reporter, even at the college level, I don’t like to use the old phrase, “I am a fan of so-and-so.” It gets old really fast. Unfortunately for me, it has come to that point. I, a New York Mets fan, didn’t want to see the Phillies advance to and win another World Series, even if it meant the crosstown Evil Empire had to win it all. en-us Gryphon 2.2.2-dsw (woodward)/Foundry5 Fri, 06 Nov 2009 10:29:19 -0700 web@dailylobo.com http://blogs.dailylobo.com/index.php/comment/view/2602 By my count two #1 seeds have faced off in the Super Bowl 11 times. There was no seeding until 1975, so for those early years I just took note if the two teams with the best record from each conference faced in the Super Bowl. I did the same during the AFL vs. NFL years. I hasn’t happened in 15 years, but it’s happened several times. Here’s the List: XXVII Dallas Cowboys over Buffalo Bills XXVI Washington Redskins over Buffalo Bills XXIV San Francisco 49ers over Denver Broncos XIX San Francisco 49ers over Miami Dolphins XVIII Los Angeles Raiders over Washington Redskins XVI San Francisco 49ers over Cincinnati Bengals XII Dallas Cowboys over Denver Broncos XI Oakland Raiders over Minnesota Vikings VIII Miami Dolphins over Minnesota Vikings VII Miami Dolphins over Washington Redskins I Greenbay Packers over Kansas City Chiefs Fri, 06 Nov 2009 10:29:19 -0700 http://blogs.dailylobo.com/index.php/comment/view/2602
