In defense of BF, a fellow hoosier, the basketball and baseball seasons are marathons. Both teams were the Best during the regular season, a much better indicator of a team's greatness. However, the playoff format is much different than the NFL, which gives a much greater value for such a feat(Home field and a BYE WEEK). 2 Wildcards winning the World Series already is proof of how ridiculous their system is(comparably how many NFL wildcards have won the Super Bowl?) In addition, Detroit was aided by a late season addition( All-Star Rasheed Wallace) and Houston IS a band box. Ask yourself, why was the roof closed for all three games.....weather?
So, although BF is frustrated by the failures of his teams in the playoffs........aren't you the HYPOCRITE!
