{To which VanHandel responds, unsigned:}

If anybody should know it would be a Packer fan.  They've been doing
just that on a regular basis for years and years.  Oops! I almost
forgot;  you posted an article about giving up on the Packers.
In that case, if anybody should know it would be an ex-Packer fan.

  Just as with the current situation (which is why I brought up this example!),
it depends on your definition of "better". Clearly, since they won the game,
the Steelers were "better" than the Broncos ON THAT PARTICULAR DAY. What I
meant was that the Broncos looked better ON PAPER based on their performance
over the whole season (having won more games in a tougher division). This game,
the Bears may look better "on paper", but my point was that it depends on
who is better this Sunday who will win the Super Bowl. I should think this
is obvious, regardless of where your heart lies in either of these situations.
