Colin - there you go with statistics to counter my fuzzy logic
to paraphrase Mark Twain
"there are lies, damn lies and then there are statistics"
Actually I think Tampa has a very good team and I would like to see Sapp get a ring - however I feel there are missing an intangible - the swagger
Last year New England overcame adversity and had mo on their side (think about the Brady pass? - the tuck)
Year before the Ravens personified the swagger
The Rams truly believed they were the greatest show on Turf
Denver wanted it for Elway - twice
You have to be able to rely on your defense to cause turnovers and keep the opponents from scoring
One stat I am interested in seeing is who lead the league in takeaways and where Super Bowl teams ranked in takeaways for their winning year
Tampa is leading this year

New England was 10th in the league last year
