Wrong again, Bob.  How could you possibly sound so SURE about something
that is obviously wrong?  The Raiders are 3-1.  The Steelers are 4-0.

Bob, I think you forgot something.  The above 9 lines (including blanks)
are all that you posted.  What prior posting were you referring to?

I was referring to the note of which that was a response (something about
the Patriots winning the Super Bowl, written in the fashion of a newspaper
article occurring the day after).

As to the Super Bowl records, you're right!  I didn't have my references with
me and I went by memory.  I received a letter from someone stating that he 
thought I was mistaken.  I checked, and I was.  Oh, well, not too much harm
done.  The Raiders fans obviously wouldn't get upset and the Steelers fans
must have been sleeping.  Still, thanks to all who caught my error and
corrected it.

Hey, Rog, catching your errors is a snap....correcting them is a major
undertaking.
