Orphan sibling hindi movie

My father told me that he saw a Hindi movie in which the story was about two siblings, one boy and one girl took care of each other throughout their life until adulthood. He thought it was Disco Dancer but it wasn't Disco Dancer because it wasn't about the siblings. Do you guys know which Hindi movie did my father see? He said it was a blockbuster? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.31.18.53 (talk) 01:43, 31 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

need help finding the name of this song

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=et5tt8WVbjo

Is there anyone who can use Shazam that can help me find what song this is? :( All i know its from early 2000s or late 1990s. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 85.220.34.89 (talk) 11:17, 31 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Sounds like Urban Train by Tiësto and Kirsty Hawkshaw, Above & Beyond remix I would guess. meltBanana 14:09, 31 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

It is. You can hear a more original version here. The sample from the question starts around 2:55. You can hear that the remix pretty much just replaced a voice element with a swoosh. -- kainaw ™ 14:24, 31 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Did ELP hire session musicians?

I am an Emerson, Lake & Palmer fan, and I would like to know about the personnel on the Works Volume 1 album. For example, on some of the acoustic ballads, most notably Lend Your Love To Me Tonight, the drumming certainly doesn't sound like Carl Palmer. So I would like to ask everybody for any info about the personnel on this album. Orchestra names, big band, conductors, soloists, choir (I hear one on "Closer to Believing" but I'm not sure if it wasn't made by some early sampling method like the intro on Tarkus), session musicians, anything.

(Additionally, there appears to be a choir on the live recording of "Closer to Believing" on the Works Live album; am I right? Was it there or added later?)

Marczellm (talk) 15:25, 31 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

You need to use www.allmusic.com to answer questions like this. They are a GREAT resource for music research. I did a quick search of the album, and here is the fill credits for the album. You can peruse the credits on the album, there are several listed conductors, arrangers, and orchestras there. --Jayron32 02:33, 1 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Notable Person

Hello,

There are quite a few articles throughout the Internet about an accomplished filmmaker, however, it is extremely difficult to follow wikipedia rules for the first timers, even using the wizard. So, if you please consider the following articles to write a profile about Boris Acosta, it'll be very beneficial to this enciclopedia:

http://www.quietearth.us/articles/2010/12/24/Eric-Roberts-is-Dante-in-DANTES-INFERNO-DOCUMENTED http://www.movieadobo.com/director/Boris_Acosta http://akas.imdb.com/name/nm2342225/bio http://www.news4us.com/the-new-movie-miracle-underground-explores-the-ordeals-that-the-33-chilean-miners-trapped-underground-went-through/222824/ http://uk.imdb.com/news/ni6399672/

Why are there so many movie rip offs with some even promoting products?!

I think it is a weird,stupid, and rude idea to steal someone else's movie idea make your own crappy rip off it's like how in china there are so many knock offs of expensive things. My example of product placement in one of these pieces of bull crap is Mac and Me a movie that was a rip off of E.T. which also promotes NASA, McDonald's, Sears, Coca Cola, and Skittles and the film ended with a freeze frame and the words "We'll be back!" superimposed, but after abysmal reviews and dismal box office returns, a planned sequel was shelved. These are some awards the film won and was nominated for: 1988 Golden Raspberry Awards Four Nominations: Worst New Star (Ronald McDonald) [Winner] Worst Director (Stewart Raffill) [Winner] Worst Picture (R.J. Louis) [Nominated] Worst Screenplay (Stewart Raffill, Steve Feke) [Nominated] Pretty "good" awards huh?! I wanna know is why people wanna make this bull crap and why sometimes they think the promoting major companies' products will help?!?!??!?!?!?!?!?!?!!?!?!?!?!??!?!!??!? --76.176.141.172 (talk) 00:09, 1 January 2011 (UTC)DPS--76.176.141.172 (talk) 00:09, 1 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Some times, when a company is losing business, even a little bit, they do anything to get back up where they were. They make these lame ripoffs and do product promotions in them as an attempt to boost business, and i can agree with you on the fact that it is copy-catting and stupid. Take all ripoff artests to Judge Judith Sheindlen! N.I.M. I miss you 01:59, 1 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Why? To make money, I guess. I recommend you use Wikipedia reviews to avoid such stuff. Anyway the Mac and Me article claims they didn't get paid for the blatant promos, and hints that it was a kind of running gag. And I personally don't have a problem with NASA being the minders of the alien. That's quite logical, and NASA is not a commercial entity. The other stuff is OTT though. HiLo48 (talk) 02:07, 1 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

You know what i'm getting at though right? A good deal of the 'ripoffs', are to promote business or their products. Companies tend to use media to influence people to buy their product or do business with them. High Low 48 is right,about the nasa thing and the McDonalds thing, but keep in mind, when someone is even losing a bit of money, they'll do almost anything to get said money back. Another reason companies do it is to parrity products, or just for the fun of it, see what the people think. I still say take all ripoff artest to Judge Judith Sheindlen. N.I.M.

But isn't Judge Judy just a rip-off of Judge Wapner ? StuRat (talk) 07:37, 1 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

It's not a new phenomenon. The film 2001: A Space Odyssey, made in 1968, had blatant product placement. See here. HiLo48 (talk) 03:33, 1 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Despite that page's title, it's not product placement unless it's done for the purpose of advertising. Depicting Pan Am, IBM, etc. was an appropriate artistic decision and calling it "blatant product placement" is completely missing that point. --Anonymous, 08:34 UTC, January 1, 2011, edited later for clarity.

And it's risky in the longer run. 2001 is considered a classic. The same cannot be said for the Pan Am company. ←Baseball Bugs ^{What's up, Doc?} carrots→ 04:05, 1 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Pan Am was a pioneer of Transatlantic and Transpacific commercial air transport. I wouldn't view them as any less classic then the defunct Washington Senators baseball club. Googlemeister (talk) 20:51, 3 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Points taken, but another thing to realize is that some times, a company decides to promote products for the hell of it, see what happens. N.I.M. I miss you (redacted) 06:20, 1 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

For stu Rat's comment, Judge Judy is not a rip-off, more likely, it was inspired by Judge Wapner. There's a difference between a ripoff and mear inspiration. Judge Judy was inspiration, Mac and Me is a ripoff. in the same way, the Jetsons is inspired by the flinstones,, and 2001 space odicy is a ripoff in some ways, and in others, it's inspiration. As someone who is a movie righter, I know the difference between inspiration and ripoff. If in the movie, someone was driving only ford nissan trucks, then the movie would in its own way be promoting ford nissan trucks. However, if it was ford spaceman trucks, then that's not necesarily promoting an existing product, as Ford Spaceman is completely made up as far as i know. If a movie writer creates a name similar to an existing product or company, it is a case of inspiration, as the exact name or product mentioned in the movie does not exist for real. The name is inspired by the existing product, Ford Nissan = Ford Spaceman, but the name is unique in its own way, Spaceman instead of Nissan. On the other hand, if they coppied the product and its exact name, then that can be considered a rippoff and promotion as long as the company aprooves of the use of the products. There is another case of inspiration that i know about, Smarty-Mart in Kim Possible. The name Smarty-Mart and the store itself is inspired by Wal-Mart. This doesn't mean that Kim Possible is advertizing "Come to walmart! buy, buy, buy! Best deals!", rather, it is mearly parratying the existing chane of stores. That's not prommotion, so the inspiration examples like the ones i mentioned are not ripoffs. hope that helps clear up confusions. regards, N.I.M. I miss you (redacted) 08:36, 1 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

If the above is a sample of your writing skills, I'd recommend not giving up the day job. :) You're right, it's often inspiration and can be parody. Comedies, especially in the old days, constantly parodied legitimate companies while also acknowledging their existence. For example, the telegram service they called "Western Onion". ←Baseball Bugs ^{What's up, Doc?} carrots→ 19:06, 1 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

misnomers in cds

Why do companies give cds misnomers, i.e. Club Hits 2010, when it was released in 2009? It should be Club Hits 2009, why do companies do that? N.I.M. I miss you (redacted) 18:59, 1 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Marketing hype, to make it seem more "current". ←Baseball Bugs ^{What's up, Doc?} carrots→ 19:04, 1 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Understood, but it's not like the cd is from the future, "Wow! a CD from the future! i'm so lucky!" N.I.M. I miss you (redacted) 19:58, 1 January 2011 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by N.I.M. (talk • contribs) [reply]

If released towards the end of 2009 (September onwards), then it's the CD they're going to be using into 2010 and onwards. 90.193.232.239 (talk) 20:45, 1 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

It's not only music companies that do it. Lots of things come out in the previous month or year based on what their title is. For instance, car companies release their next model year around October of the previous year. So you could have bought a 2011 car last month. Magazines as well. I already have the January editions of all my regular magazine subscriptions, and have for a couple weeks, and it's only been January for a few hours now.

What are some Disney box-office fail films and/or Disney films unknown to most people?

If you know any I would like them in a list the first is the oldest and the last is the newest IN THAT ORDER please. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.176.141.172 (talk) 03:06, 2 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Box office bomb mentions Atlantis: The Lost Empire and Treasure Planet. There are plenty of obscure entries at List of Disney theatrical animated features. Notable is Song of the South, a 1946 movie never released on video in America because of scenes that would seem racist to today's viewers. -- Mwalcoff (talk) 03:36, 2 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

(edit conflict)Song of the South was a popular film in its day, but most people have never seen it in its entirety, excepting perhaps small snippets, because Disney has never released it on home video due to some racially insensitive portrayals. It is most famous for producing the song Zip-a-Dee-Doo-Dah, an Oscar-winning song. --Jayron32 03:38, 2 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

It came out overseas, just not here in USA. APL (talk) 23:53, 2 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Agreed; I saw it in London in the 60s when I was 8 or 9. Alansplodge (talk) 00:54, 3 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Don't know if you'd call it a failure, but arristocats 2 hasn't been released, as far as i know they stopped production on it, curse disney for doing that. N.I.M. (talk) (redacted) 23:19, 2 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Fantasia has become very well-known and popular, but apparently was less so when it came out. According to the article, subsection on critical reception in the 1940s, "most sources cite the film as Disney's first great box-office failure, and commentators such as Leonard Maltin blame its initial failure on the public's unwillingness to accept Disney as a popularizer of classical music." The case of Alice in Wonderland is a bit similar. At first, when it was released, it was a disappointment at the box-office, but experienced an increase in popularity during the following decades. ---Sluzzelin talk 23:31, 2 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

After Pink Floyd became popular I suspect. Googlemeister (talk) 20:41, 3 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The Black Cauldron, adapted from the novel of the same name, was the most expensive animated feature ever produced up to that point, was darker than any previous animated Disney film, and was a commercial disaster. Not only did its US box office gross not even meet the film's budget, but it didn't spawn 1000 toys, towels, toothbrushes, and teakettles as Disney's big successes all do.

My hometown paper carries/carried the daily television schedule as part of the entertainment section. Depending on if they (or the local library) have digitized the paper's back archive, you may be able to access the archives for the local newspaper in question, and find the television schedule there. -- 174.24.215.106 (talk) 17:28, 2 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I'm looking specifically for listings in the Los Angeles area. --99.163.181.211 (talk) 18:21, 2 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Depends on how "old" you're talking about, of course. Are you talking last week? Or fifty years ago? If you're looking for something years back and you can find a local newspaper in the papers archived by Google, you might find what you're looking for. [1].

Music Covers

I'm curious about how bands cover other artists' songs. When Oasis records I Am the Walrus on an album, do they pay the Beatles (or their estate)? If some no-name local band records a cover, how would they pay royalties? Would they need explicit permission? Thanks, 99.224.10.2 (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 00:58, 3 January 2011 (UTC).[reply]

Read mechanical license. Clarityfiend (talk) 02:44, 3 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Wrong one. The mechanical license allows one to print exact copies of a musical work, and requires express permission of the copyright holder. The correct is the Compulsory license, which allows anyone the right to reproduce certain works, notably non-dramatic musical works (i.e. songs, but not plays or musicals) provided they pay royalties. That is, the copyright holder cannot stop anyone from performing a new version of a song, so long as the performer pays fair market value for that use. --Jayron32 03:30, 3 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

See this document. It appears either a (misleadingly named) mechanical license or compulsory license is a possibility. Note that the Beatles don't own most of their songs. They're primarily owned by Sony/ATV Music Publishing, I believe. This is different from the recordings of the songs, which I think are mostly owned by EMI. -- Mwalcoff (talk) 03:37, 3 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Interesting, although I am in Canada (which I should have mentioned). If anyone else has info about the situation in Canada, I'd very much appreciate it! 99.224.10.2 (talk) 21:05, 4 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Obituary

On the album Slowly We Rot, the title track is supposed to be track 3 according to the song listing on the back of the album but is track 4 when listen ed to how and why did this happen and any further information thank you —Preceding unsigned comment added by 195.2.26.146 (talk) 16:08, 3 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

On this shot of the back, it is listed as #4, just like in our article and in your experience. What are tracks 1, 2, & 4 on your album cover? Did they leave out one track or change the order? ---Sluzzelin talk 17:23, 3 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

sorry i did mess up the original question but...Mine says 1, Internal Bleeding 2,Godly Beings 3,'Til Death 4, Slowly we rot, 5 Immortal Visions....but when I listen to it song 3, at 1:19 the first chorus stars and he clearly at 1:25 starts to sing ....slowly we rot......come with me, join me, slowly we rot, come with me, join me slowly we dwell..... Therefore in my opinion song 3 must be slowly we rot. So what is up with this? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.3.145.145 (talk) 00:09, 4 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Some thoughts:

1) I don't know if this is the case for this album, but many have an underlying theme that's repeated in various songs. Thus, you may get lines or riffs repeated in multiple tracks. Those repeated bit might not be reflected in all the song names, though.

2) How exactly the CD player determines where a song starts can be tricky, too. I believe that a commercial CD will have digital index information encoded in it, and that tells it where each song starts. They could, of course, mess this up at the factory. On the other hand, if your CD is a copy, then, depending on the copying method, it may just use gaps in the songs to determine where a new song starts. This can fail both ways, as some songs have silent bits, and sometimes one song runs right into the next, without a silent gap between them. StuRat (talk) 05:23, 4 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Name of book

I'm find out the name of a book I read. I've tried googling parts of the plot, but to no avail. Here's the plot as I can remember it:

It's about a British detective (or perhaps secret agent!) foiling the plot that involves stolen Russian/Soviet nuclear naval mines. There are murders in a small village in Norfolk (or Suffolk?), there is a sniper who is working for the antagonist, but actually is a plant by the protagonist. The antagonist is trying to blow up the mines in a port in the Netherlands (Rotterdam?) or perhaps Belgium.

Any help appreciated.

Thanks!

CyrilPenaCastillo (talk) 20:02, 3 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Aside from the nuclear mines, the plot sounds similar to From Russia, with Love (novel), which involves several "double agent" types. --Jayron32 20:21, 3 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

And Thunderball (novel) has the stolen nuclear bombs bit. Perhaps you confused the two James bond novels? --Jayron32 20:25, 3 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Nope, that's not it. But thanks Jayron for having a go!

CyrilPenaCastillo (talk) 21:23, 4 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I think it may be a Robert Ludlum book - I remember the ending involving a sniper on a tower in the port, if that's any help?

I, Claudius drama BBC Radio4 repeats?

I was disapointed to realise that I have missed the earliest 4 episiodes of this. Does anyone know when it is being repeated or where I might be able to listen to the first four episodes online? Only the last two episodes are currently available from the BBC website.

As someone who pays my own good money to support the BBC, I don't see why they should be so tight-arsed about not making available stuff thats more than two weeks old. I don't mind letting foriegners get it for free as its good cultural advertising for Britain. Thanks 92.29.114.99 (talk) 21:31, 3 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

It has been good, hasn't it? They are releasing it as a BBC audiobook in a couple of days (see here), which is probably why you won't be able to find the whole thing for free online. If you don't fancy buying it, your local public library can probably order it in for you to borrow once it's released, always provided the council hasn't closed said facility down as part of our national austerity drive. Failing that, it's bound to come round on iPlayer again eventually; most things do, in my experience. Ka renjc 08:33, 4 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Epic Mickey

On the video game Epic Mickey why is Mickey all drippy? Also why do the drips drip up instead of down? 174.28.70.218 (talk) 15:11, 4 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

From what I gathered after having read Epic Mickey, the "drippy ink ears" represent the fact that Mickey "still has some of the Shadow Blot's ink in him". The trademark ears are often referred to as "drippy ink ears" online. The design also goes well with the game's surreal retro-take of early black and white Mickey or Oswald cartoons, or other early Disney films populated by black and inky characters. ---Sluzzelin talk 15:18, 4 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

TV Tropes has "In the final game, Mickey absorbed some of the Blot when dragged into the Wasteland, causing some ink to float off of him. If you favor using thinner, lots of ink will float off of him as a result." [3]. As for why the ink drops seems to defy the laws of gravity : the upward dripping just looks more dynamic, if the drops ran down and dripped off Mickey's face, he'd merely look soaked. (It's perfectly in line with cartoon physics anyway :-). ---Sluzzelin talk 15:39, 4 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

What would disney have to do to make such an episode with the actual members being shown in the show, and them doing the voices and everything? N.I.M. I miss you nissae!

I suspect you misunderstood Jayron32's answer. You asked what Disney would have to do. Disney would have to ask Heart, almost certainly through Heart's theatrical agency or other business representatives, whether Heart would be interested in participating, and offer a detailed contract proposal, an important detail of which would be how much money Disney were willing to pay. If Heart were potentially interested, Disney's representatives and Heart's representatives would then negotiate until a settled contract was agreed or not, and if it was the project would then proceed. This is the way most show business collaborations happen. 87.81.230.195 (talk) 13:45, 5 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Norman Wisdom Movie

I remember many years ago seeing a NW movie in which he was having to pose for a photo but couldn't keep a straight face and eventually broke down laughing. All I can recall is that it was a B&W movie and not one of his later color movies. Does anyone have any ideas? I appreciate that this is very little to go on, and may apply to several movies, but any suggestions would be welcome. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Callerman (talk • contribs) 02:33, 5 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Such a scene occurs in Man of the Moment. If you google "man of the moment" + "passport photo scene" you get a couple of hits, including a youtube clip. ---Sluzzelin talk 02:38, 5 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Trying to find song

What is the song that plays during the interview in this , it sounds like wolfgang gartner's music. Remember, it's the background song ithat is playing during the interview. It i know has nothing to do with Inna. Which wolfgang gartner is it? N.I.M. I miss you nissae! Elena Apostoleanu go behind the line. 08:06, 5 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

According to the interview, it took place before she took the stage. The lineup before she took the stage was:

12:30 - 14:00 DJ Christophe!
14:00 - 15:00 DJ Licious
15:00 - 16:00 Yves V
16:00 - 17:00 Johan Gielen
17:30 - 18:30 DJ Rebel
18:30 - 19:50 Dimitri Vegas & Like Mike
19:50 - 20:40 Ruth Flowers (Mamy Rock)

So, it must be someone in that list. -- kainaw ™ 20:26, 6 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Looking at the references, it seems they announce the winner in late February or early March. Clarityfiend (talk) 21:47, 6 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Couple of NFL questions

1. Is it possible for a team to go 16-0 and not get first or second seed?

2. Why is it that several teams in the regular season face off against all the teams from a specific division? Examples:

New England Pariots: AFC North (Ravens, Browns, Bengals, Steelers), NFC North: (Vikings, Bears, Packers, Lions)

Vikings: NFC East (Giants, Redskins, Eagles, Cowboys)

Packers: NFC East (Giants, Redskins, Eagles, Cowboys)

Raiders: AFC South (Colts, Jags, Titans, Texans)

Saints: NFC West (49ers, Cards, Rams, Seahawks)

Cardinals: NFC South (Falcons, Saints, Panthers, Bucs)

Exactly why is this? Buggie111 (talk) 15:54, 6 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

1. ~~Yes. If three teams go 16-0 in separate divisions of the same conference, then they will be seeds 1, 2, and 3 (one of them will have to be third seed).~~

Strike that. It is not possible for 3 teams to go 16-0 in the same conference. If two of the teams are in the same division, they must play each other. So, that cancels out the possibility of both being 16-0. If you have two teams in separate divisions of the same conference, they will play their own division and they could be on rotation to play the other two divisions. If they didn't place the same in the previous year, they won't play each other - so two teams can go 16-0. If you add a third team, the inter-division play will guarantee that one of the teams must play the another team. So, one will have to lose (or tie). Three teams in a single conference cannot go 16-0.

2. That is how the schedule is done. Every team in a division faces the other 3 teams twice (once at home and once away). That is 6 games. Another 4 are done as a tour of another division in the same conference (the other division rotates yearly). Similarly, they play 4 games against a division in the other conference. The last 2 games are played against the two divisions in their conference that they aren't playing against. They play the two teams that placed the same as they placed - if they placed 1st in their division, they play the 1st place teams in the other two divisions. See National Football League regular season. -- kainaw ™ 16:05, 6 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

(edit conflict)1: Mathematically yes, but only BARELY. It is possible for three teams in the same conference to all not play each other. Each team has six teams from its own conference it does NOT play in a given year; so there will exist, for any team, atleast one grouping of two other teams where none of the three will play each other. In that case, it would be mathematically possible for all three of these teams to go 16-0; meaning that one of them would have to play in the first round. It would be broken by the NFL tie-breaking procedures (see National Football League playoffs for an explanation), which would require "Strength of Victory" (basically the records of the defeated teams) to break first. That being said, only one team in history has completed the regular season at 16-0 (a few other teams have had an undefeated regular season when the NFL had less games, and only one paired a perfect regular season with a League championship).ed: See kainaw's explanation below --Jayron32 16:23, 6 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

2: See National Football League regular season. Since it is not currently possible for every team to meet every other team (prior to the AFL-NFL merger, every team in the NFL played every other team at least once), the NFL has developed a scheduling rubric which does a few things: 1) It aims to give each team a balanced schedule, that is, as close to the same strength schedule as everyone else. 2) It aims to see that every team plays every other team at least once every 3-4 years. 3) It makes sure that each team in the same division plays a "home-and-home" series against the others in its division, since that's the primary route to the playoffs. The National Football League regular season article explains in detail how it achieves these goals, and answers the rest of your question regarding scheduling (full disclosure: I had a lot to do with editing these articles, especially the parts I explained above). I hope that helps! --Jayron32 16:11, 6 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

(To Jayron) Note that I amended my answer above. It is not possible for 3 teams in 3 different divisions of the same conference to not play each other. Here's an example for divisions N, E, S, and W. Assume N is on rotation to play E. Then E must be playing N. Then S and W are playing against each other. A team in N or E can go 16-0 and a team in S or W can go 16-0. If you want another team to go 16-0, it must play a team that we already designated as going 16-0. The way it works out, you get two sets of division pairings in each conference each year. So, you guarantee that every team in those pairings play each other once. -- kainaw ™ 16:17, 6 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Good catch. It looks like it is NOT possible for a team with a 16-0 record to be a 3-seed in the playoffs. Under the rules, which you correctly noticed, there can be, at MOST, 4 undefeated teams, two from each conference, and they would be then guaranteed to be the first two seeds for each conference's playoff bracket. --Jayron32 16:23, 6 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

To answer questions 1 and 2, the article National Football League regular season#Formula helps. It's not just "several" teams, but "all" teams that face off against all the teams from a specific division. That wasn't the old formula, but it's the new one, and it also means that under the current formula, it's impossible to have more than 2 teams in a conference finish 16-0. First, since each time plays its division rivals every year, there can only be one 16-0 team in any division. Second, since each team plays the four teams from another division within its own conference on a yearly rotation, then among the two divisions that are paired for that season, there can only be one 16-0 team. To put it concretely: let's say the Bills, Browns, Texans, and Raiders all went undefeated in their divisions and undefeated against NFC teams (it's a stretch, I know). Well, the inter-AFC rotation means that the Bills must face either the Browns, Texans, or Raiders, depending on what division the East is paired with that season. Let's say they played the Browns -- now one of those teams is doomed to be 15-1, or else they're both doomed to be 15-0-1. Well, if East is paired with North, then South must be paired with West, so the Texans and Raiders must face each other -- and so again one of those teams can no longer go 16-0 that year. So you might have a 16-0 #2 seed, but never anything lower than that under the current scheduling system. In other words, it may be that the answer to your second question is that the NFL schedulers were considering the scenario in your first question! --M @r ē ino 16:44, 6 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
