Tuesday, July 22, 2025

 Here's what this is.

 Using the same simulation engine I always use, I'm going to replay every Super Bowl.  I'm going to start more ambitious than that, replaying every postseason.  Same teams, same locations, same weather, same lineups.  And we'll see what happens.  

We start with 1966.
