If you recall, I wasn't counting AFL games in that particular statistical analysis. Might've said something like 'minor leagues,' but it was more a reference to Mr Hunt's admonition teams worry about survival first, competition second.
Our owners were the Phipps Brothers, we loved them, but they were hands down the poorest ownership group in the league. And they were saddled with paying for upgrades to Old Mile High Stadium to get it up to NFL standards (
hey, look brdempsey, we were using Stadium costs as an excuse back then too!). Had the Phipps tried to spend $ in order to compete on field, things wouldda gone bad ... our locker room was a Quonset Hut, with just six working shower heads, our first uniforms were bought from a defunct college bowl game, the Copper Bowl - brown and yellow, vertical striped socks, you know em! And that bastard Ralph Wilson kept sending potential buyers to Lamar Hunt, hoping the Phipps would sell. I wished that bastard was still alive to have seen the game Last Sunday �� ....jk

Please don't use aggressive words like "ridiculous" unless you're sure you're correct.
It's an understandable mistake though: You must have counted the Steelers and Colts as AFL teams, which they weren't. You still had a pretty good point:
Super Bowl I thru
VI = NFL/NFC 4-2
Super BowI VII -
XII = AFL/NFL tie 3-3
Super Bowl XIII -
IIXX = NFL/NFC 4-2
NFL/NFC leads 11-7, that's when ....
SBs IXX -
XXXI = NFC 13-game win streak
THIRTEEN GAME WIN STREAK, oh no!
Would the AFC EVER win another Super Bowl?
Never Fear, the BRONCOS are here!
"But didn't the Broncos have a lot to do
with the AFC losing those 13 games?"
SHUT UP SHUT UP SHUT UP
BRONCOS!

Ha ha! Yeah, Elway was SO bad! Hah that is SO funny ... you got me there! ��
Come on, man ... But at least that reminds me I gotta post something here ...
Recently I was here while everyone was bagging on Elway's numbers. Well, reality is
