You heard it here first:

Head coaches and starting Quarterbacks have a maximum Superbowl Championship value of one team.

well, it's very hard to win superbowls. and it's hard to be a head coach or a starting qb if your team is not generally winning. so it's super hard to be good enough to win a super bowl but also have the circumstance of changing teams after winning one there, as well.

Kathy's Law of Playoff Odds:

The odds that the team you least want to see win the Super Bowl will win the Super Bowl increase in direct proportion to the square of your dislike of that team.

Addendum: pretending to like the Falcons will not work.

I unfortunately am reduced to rooting for the Falcons by attrition. The 3 other teams are THE 3 that I would root against no matter who they are playing. NE - Life long Bills Fan here SF- grew up in Northern California, never could stomach the media lovefest for them in the 80's, so became the anti-9er Baltimore- Never forgave them for leaving Cleveland

This is kind of stupid.

While it's true that this has never happened before, assuming that it has any predictive value whatsoever is absurd. It's classic gambler's fallacy.

Hmm... I think I'm on to a medical discovery now: it would seem irony defficiency is linked to obsessive AP pesronalities.

Of course there's some need for further study.

No accounting for taste, I guess.

Well, I suppose there's no accounting for accounting either.

I seem to think this could be a trend with her. If something she says brings any controversy or something negative....... she indicates it was a joke. This is what she said in regards to the WoVcon comp offer catastrophe.

Yes, you're absolutely right. See, I carried out a major Physics breakthrough by being able to measure quantum effects not just in people but in organizations of several thousand people, then I was able to correlate that data with events to such a high degree of confidence that I made a prediction, and then I just posted it on a message board.
