Please note: This guide leads to fail, not profit.

Now I must go cry in a corner, wondering why the Gaels decided to extend their halftime break into the first 5 minutes of the 2nd half and how Jack McClinton can just decide not to miss anymore.

Phil's "Go Gaels!!" Bracket

The Celtics Being 16-0 against the West is really impressive, but they have two absolutely brutal road trips coming up:

That's a rough stretch, but nothing when compared to what they face in March:

I think the Celtic record against the West is impressive, but they have not gotten to a lot of the truly difficult road games. Let's see how they do on these trips before we hand them the title.

The New York/San Francisco Giants. 10,184 wins. No other team, in any sport, in the history of the world is close to that number.

Look it up

Technically some of those wins should count as a different team. A good chunk of those are from the New York Gothams. you can't change a team name and keep the wins in my opinion.

PS: you said no team comesclose to that number yet...

Atlanta Braves: 9985

a 199 win difference doesnt count as "no one being close"

It's actually the Chicago Cubs who have 9985 wins. Also, I think the number of games the Giants won as the Gothams is similar to the number of games the Cubs won as the Orphans, Colts, or White Stockings, or the Braves won as the Bees, Rustlers, Doves, Beaneaters, or Red Caps, namely it's not that big of a deal. Major League Baseball historians count those games as Giants. They officially became the first and so far only team to 10,000 wins on July 14th, 2005.

On to your second statement that 199 wins isn't close, lets say the Cubs are excellent the next few seasons and average 100 wins and the Giants are awful and average 60 losses (this may be likely, they're horrible right now). It would take until 2012 at that pace for the Cubs to pass the Giants. That doesn't seem close to me.

Interesting question. Using this page: http://www.baseball-reference.com/games/head2head.shtml I found this:
SF/NY Giants v. LA/Bn Dodgers 2122
STL Cardinals v. Pit Pirates 2111
Chi Cubs v. STL Cardinals 2106
Chi Cubs v. Pit Pirates 2103
Bal Orioles v. NY Yankees 2040
Bos Red Sox v. Bal Orioles 2029
Bos Red Sox v. NY Yankees 2028

This was just some quick looking around, but I'd say those are probably the most. I'm not sure if these numbers include playoffs, but since these are mostly divisional rivalries, the number of playoff games is less significant until the wild card was invented in 94.

Since he's a Heisman winner, I think it's time some makes a website that tells us some more facts about Tim Tebow.

...Oh Wait...
