One NFL Team Beating Another NFL Team Three Times In One Season

[SportsAlmanac2000]

With the Ravens heading up to Pittsburgh next Sunday, I know we'll see 10,000 posts this week, claiming that it's impossible for a team to beat another team 3 times in one season. This situation has happened 18 times and the team that won the first two games wins the third game at a 62% clip (11-7).

That almanc only goes until the year 2000, you are in deep shit.

I have the modified version.

 

[Syklone]

Good info. Already heard the morons on First Take see it is an impossible feat.

 

[Steelcurtain77]

And what do you know, Steelers have done it twice. Once against the old Browns and once against the new Browns. Will they do it against the old Browns again?

 

[SportsAlmanac2000]

Good info. Already heard the morons on First Take see it is an impossible feat.

I get really sick of the talking heads on ESPN. I wonder what the interview process involves? Some of those guys are just horrible...

Thinking the same thing the other day. Most of these guys are just awful.

I am not a big Dan Patrick fan, but good for him and for the reason he left ESPN.

 

[SportsAlmanac2000]

Thinking the same thing the other day. Most of these guys are just awful.

ESPN is back at it again this morning!

 

[EVincent]

First Take may be the worst show on TV.

 

[jwblue]

It is crazy how people make up sh*t just because it sounds good.

I bet someone that is respected pulled that out of his as* and all the other talking heads decided it to use it themselves.
