== Houston Oilers ==

The Houston Oilers are not listed anywhere on the page. While the Houston Oilers never made a superbowl appearance, they could still be listed as a team that never made an appearance at the bottom. Another possible fix would be to use a slash and list them with the Tennessee Titans since they continued to go by the oiler name for a year after the move. Another possible fix would be a combination of the 2 and list them at the bottom as the Houston/Tennessee Oilers

Cleveland Browns

The article currently reads, "(The Browns are officially viewed as one continuous franchise that began in 1946 as a member of the All-America Football Conference..." I think there should be some reference to the fact that they won all 4 AAFC titles before the merger with the NFL. In other worlds, "The Brown are officially viewed as on continuous franchise that began in 1946 and won four professional football titles with the All-America Football Conference."50.201.228.200 (talk) 16:27, 22 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Rematch correction

At the beginning of the third paragraph it states: "There have only been six times that the same franchises have met in multiple Super Bowls." Then gives a detailed account naming only FIVE pairs of teams (not six). There's also another organized listing further down the article with the heading: Super Bowl Rematches. It also lists the correct five (not six) pairs. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 173.31.113.14 (talk) 06:07, 23 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

There have been six rematches involving five pairings: the Cowboys and Steelers have met three times; so count for two rematches and one pairing. --Jayron32 06:10, 23 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Understood, however it is written in a manner that can easily be misunderstood. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 173.31.113.14 (talk) 06:28, 23 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]


Cities with a World Series and a Super Bowl victory in the same year

Is it worth it to add a paragragh to both the Wikipedia articles of the World Series and the Super Bowl about cities that have won both victories in the same year? It has happened five times in the past: 1969; New York Mets and New York Jets, 1970; Baltimore Orioles and Baltimore Ravens, 1979; Pittsburgh Pirates and Pittsburgh Steelers, 1986; New York Mets and New York Giants, and 2004; Boston Red Sox and New England Patriots. On February 3, 2013, the San Francisco 49ers Might win the Super Bowl. Since The San Francisco Giants won the World Series in 2012, I am sure it will be a popular, often repeated, trivia saying about the cities that have won both the World Series and the Super Bowl in the same year. I think a paragraph should be added to both the World Series and Super Bowl articles to point out that fact, especially considering how few times it has happened. New York city with the NY Mets and New York Yankees baseball teams, and the Giants and Jets football teams has only achieved that victory twice: in 1969 and 1986. 16:06, 1 February 2013 (UTC)Bennett Turk — Preceding unsigned comment added by 204.80.61.133 (talk)

It seems to border on the trivial. Such coincidences can be interesting to some people, but ultimately it really is outside the scope of Wikipedia's coverage here. --Jayron32 18:34, 1 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Just a followup sentence to the first paragraph. The Baltimore Ravens defeated the San Francisco 49ers (34 -31) on Sunday February 3, 2013; so San Francisco did not tie the Pittsburg Steelers with the most number of Super Bowl victories (6) or join the ranks of other cities that won the World Series and the Super Bowl in the same year (5 so far).204.80.61.133 (talk) 17:16, 4 February 2013 (UTC)Bennett Turk[reply]

Revert needed in the lead

ChicoSNKR made this inappropriate edit in the lead. That paragraph is only about teams who played each other multiple times in the Super Bowl. Please revert the edit. Btw, in Baltimore Ravens, Chico changed a wikilink for Baltimore's division from AFC North to NFC North (which was reverted), so I'd keep an eye on his edits from now on.

Wrong appearance count for Steelers

The number of appearances listed parenthetically for the Steelers is correct in 1996 (5). It is incorrectly listed as (5) again in 2006. It is incorrectly listed as (6) in 2009.
