Nope
--------------- http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/201...bag/index.html • 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. |

Super Bowl winners have been 12-0 ON THE ROAD since 2005. Do you have a different way to describe a Super Bowl winner? |

"Since 2005, Super Bowl winners have played 12 road games vs. 7 home games." By default, Super Bowl winners are undefeated in the playoffs. However, since 2005, of the 19 games these winners have played, 12 of them have been on the road. That's the point of emphasis, not the record. Let me ask you this, if you won the Super Bowl last year and played three road games, what was your record? Point being that the record on the road in the playoffs is redundant. It's not necessary to say that Super Bowl winners are 12-0 on the road. Just say, Super Bowl winners have played 12 road games.

I love it. You repeatedly say that you can't see the redundancy in King's statement(s); which I, and many, many, many others, seem to see. I did my best to explain it as simply as possible.
Bottom line, he could have worded it all much better; and considering he's a Senior Writer for SI, he should be expected to.
