Of course they're not. They've never even made it to the Super Bowl, much
less gone undefeated.

Cute, Derek! Here I am trying to contribute a little serious discussion
about sainthood, and you come in with Super Bowl. Jeez! (Don't get mad,
I mean that in a good way.) Personally, I place more stock in Supper Bowl.

Phyll, seriously, the saints thing was just my little contribution to the
understanding that saints are not perfect people, but people who overcame
very human frailty and in the process rise to greatness. It's a Church
thing. Sorry if I was off the mark.

Mike merely put cold hard facts on the table. He was not involved in a
vendeta. I suspect he thought long and hard, and weighed his words
carefully. It would have been a grave disservice to us, had he kept this all
to himself.

Oops. Sorry 'bout that. I've been out-of-the-loop for a few days since a
computer crash last Friday. Must have missed the "serious discussion"
thread.

I'll pay more attention in the future.... or not. (heh.)
