Which teams have won – and lost – the Super Bowl since its beginning? Read on to find out! I’m definitely not a sports nut by any means – but since I play quite a bit of pub trivia – AND the Stupor …sorry – SUPER Bowl is coming up soon – I thought I’d see what kind of useless knowledge I could add to my “trivia bag!”
NFC teams will be denoted in blue – and AFC teams will be denoted in red. For those of you whom might be color blind, the winners will be denoted first – then the losers. Also the winners will be in boldface type and the losers will be denoted with strikethrough type. Which means not only am I being more than accommodating to any of my readers whom might have difficulty distinguishing different colors (I have two such players on my trivia team – believe it – or not), that this blog is going to be a typographical nightmare (LOL)! Oh the things I do to attempt to shove useless knowledge into the brain…and to accommodate my blog readers, too!
I really, really tried finding a picture of a “hot” football player for this blog. And no, Tom Brady is definitely NOT my type! So I kept coming back to former Green Bay Packer Clay Matthews III. Now I might not be into blondes so much – but Jesus…HE LOOKS JUST LIKE THOR! And for the God of Thunder, I will overlook my normal hair color preferences! 🙂 And I do kind of like the long-haired boys (ahem)!

I’d be lying if I said Matthew Stafford – Detroit Lions’ quarterback – wasn’t cute! He has that whole “wholesome, innocent, corn-fed” vibe to him that’s just…adorable. But what ISN’T very cute is that this team has never, ever been to the “big dance.” This actually puts the Lions into an elite NFL group, read on:
