I have another question not in rule book

[schmitty1973]

Ramtime,
As much as I disagree with your persistency on this Sb thing, I do think sometimes the Patriots get calls. Like the AFC Championship vs the Colts. The only one I can remember exactly off the top of my head was the 4th down at the end of the game when Pollard was mugged and there was no call. However, I did notice that in the SB vs Carolina, on their first or second drive there was 2 penalties against NE's secondary for illegal contact, which told me that the ref's were going to let the Pats know they weren't getting away with it. Long behold, Delhomme goes on and lights up the secondary.

With all this being said, I don't believe all this is intentional. If you go back and look at some of the dynasty's, you'll notice that things always seem to go their way. They always get good bounces, and the opponents always make bonehead plays against them. I remember a Cowboys/Eagles game when the Boys were good, and somebody from the Eagles had a long run and wound up fumbling the ball and it rolled out of the back of the endzone. Guess what the rule is? Touchback for Dallas. It's aggrivating but it's just one of those things. To win a championship in any sport requires alot of luck, bounces, and sometimes even a couple calls. But like I said, it's not necessarily intentional.
