I agree and I realize his point, but it is stupid to say SB teams are undefeated in the playoffs.

What he's trying to say and what he's saying are two different things. He's trying to say, "Since 2005, Super Bowl winning teams have played 12 road games vs. 7 home games."

The way it reads is, "The teams that have gone on the road to win the Super Bowl are 12-0."

It sounds tarded.

Sorry, I didn't get that at all.

Who made that comment?

I think some of you guys are confusing a BB forum comment that CW linked with Peter King's actual quote.

I'm guessing that Tom Brady was involved somehow. I bet he could get past a playoff loss in his way to the Super Bowl.

• Low Seeds Rule. Since 2005, Super Bowl winners are 12-0 on the road in the playoffs. The last seven champs have played only seven home games in all, in addition to the 12 road games, which means the champ has come out of the pack of those teams that often end up scrambling to make the playoffs at the end.

I believe most people know what he's trying to say. But it's not worded well and makes him sound stupid. Yeah, it's kind of nit-picky but I had to read it two or three times before I really understood what he was getting at.

You really don't see how it's both unnecessary and redundant to say that Super Bowl winners are undefeated? If King were to just omit that stat, this would be a non-issue. Here...

"Since 2005, Super Bowl winners have played 12 road games vs. 7 home games; which means the champ..."

Does 12-0 NOT mean undefeated?

You are putting emphasis on the "0", King is intending to emphasize the "12".

"The last 7 Super Bowl winners are undefeated on the road". Stupid statement.

"The last 7 Super Bowl winners are 12-0 on the road." Could be worded better, but with the next two sentences in his article, it puts it all in perspective.

"
Then he should have omitted the 0
