Don't think Peter King "Gets It".

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

It sounds tarded.

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

Key word here, "intending". I know what he's trying to say, but he's not saying it very well. By saying "12-0", it implies an undefeated record. Which, as pointed out, is redundant.

Edit: Hell, it doesn't imply, it states. He should have just omitted the record altogether and talked about the 12 road games and not the teams' records in those 12 road games. Because everyone knows what their record was.

JFC, so "Everyone knows" that the past seven Super Bowl winning teams were a combined 12-0 on the road during the playoffs?

What?

The problem is that people who are nitpicking King are ignoring the fact that he didn't write a stand alone single sentence.
