Now with that statement, Paul, I heartily agree. It is, indeed, a remarkable
record and one to be proud of.
BTW, the number(s) in the 20s you are thinking of may have been total
trophies won, not just wins. San Francisco has won 20+ on 21 occasions
(every year since 1979). New England has done so four times, and Northwest
has now done so twice.
