You bet I will!  One oddity of my body...even when I was young and very thin...I have always had large calves.  Some of the kids I coached called me Calfzilla.  Haha.  I always thought it would be a perfect spot for a tattoo, but I am not a big fan of the "B".  That smug Tiger, though, I fricking love.

So you're built like Chase.

An even more amazing stat is that a whopping 30 of the 55 Super Bowls have been won by 6 teams.

Patriots - 6 in 11 appearances
Steelers - 6 of 8
Cowboys - 5 of 8
49ers - 5 of 7
Packers - 4 of 5
Giants - 4 of 5

Then you also have

Broncos - 3 of 8
Raiders - 3 of 5
Redskins/Football Team - 3 of 5

So these 9 teams have accounted for 39 of the 55 championships (71%) and 62 of the 110 appearances (56%).

You have 9 teams with at least 3 rings, and 12 teams with 0.

I think the single greatest thing the NFL has EVER done to actually enhance parity was the rookie wage scale.  

Teams that were not the top tier teams whiff on a high first round pick, they were done.  Cash strapped, and the kicker was that no free agent would want to go to a team in such a situation.  The worst teams picked at the top and had a 50/50 chance of being buried for 5 years.  I always thought Belichek was brilliant the way he would almost always trade back and accumulate picks.  He was also mitigating risk.

I think the NFL will look a lot different over the next 20 years.

A little tmi, bro. Kidding. Well, get that large area ready because I feel a win coming on.

I will share that when they win, I am going to get that smug looking sideways tiger head logo tattoo'd on my calf.

And I don't have any other tattoos.

I'll get the tiger tattooed on the head of my pecker..  Actually no..First it would hurt like hell and I'd probably lose all sensation and never be able to use it for anything other than peeing..Chances are it would get infected and have to be cut off.. That would suck..   I'm fairly certain no possible game is worth a risk like that..

Vikings: 0-4
Bills: 0-4
Falcons: 0-2
Panthers: 0-2
Cardinals: 0-1
Titans: 0-1
Chargers: 0-1
Browns
Lions
Jags
Texans

Also, now that our playoff win drought is over, here's the longest streaks now:

Lions: 30 years
Dolphins: 21 years
Raiders: 18 years
Redskins: 16 years
Jets: 11 years
Bears: 11 years
Giants: 10 years

The NFL record is held by the Cardinals at 38 years (1960 to 1998).

Going back to pre-SB era, AAFL, and AFL, here are the number of titles.
.
1) Green Bay Packers = 13. NFL (9) + SB (4). 
---- NFL: 1929, '30, '31, '36, '39, '44, '61, '62, '65.  SB: 1966, '67, '96, 2010.
---- Second/Runner-up = 5.

2) Chicago Bears = 9. NFL (8) + SB (1). 
---- NFL: 1921, '32, '33, '40, '41, '43, '46, '63.  SB: 1985. 
---- Second/Runner-up = 10. 

3) New York Giants = 8. NFL (4) + SB (4).  
---- NFL: 1927, '34, '38, '56.  SB: 1986, '90, 2007, '11. 
---- Second/Runner-up = 14. 

4) Cleveland Browns = 8. AAFC (4), NFL (4). 
---- AAFC: 1946, '47, '48, '49.  NFL:  1950, '54, '55, '64.   
---- Second/Runner-up = 5 (all NFL). 

5) Boston/New England Patriots = 6. SB (6).   
---- SB: 2001, '03, '04, '14, '16, '18. 
---- Second/Runner-up = 6 (1 AFL). 

6) Pittsburgh Steelers = 6. SB (6). 
---- SB: 1974, '75, '78, '79, 2005, '08. 
---- Second/Runner-up = 2.   

7) Boston/Washington Redskins/Commanders = 5. NFL (2) + SB (3).  
---- NFL: 1937, 1942.  SB: 1982, 1987, 1991.  
---- Second/Runner-up = 6. 

8) Dallas Cowboys = 5. SB (5). 
---- SB: 1971, '77, '92, '93, '95. 
---- Second/Runner-up = 3.  

9) San Francisco 49ers = 5.  SB (5).  
---- SB:  1981, '84, '88, '89, '94. 
---- Second/Runner-up = 3 (1 AAFC). 

That is it with 5 or more. I will do teams with 4 or 3 tomorrow. Which is where the Rams rank.
