What's the most surprising sports feat that hasn't been accomplished?

    Was listening to Francesa last week and he mentioned how no NFL head coach has ever won the Super Bowl with two teams. That's surprising.

    Sure, Parcells, Dan Reeves and Mike Holmgren coached different teams to the game, but neither won with two teams. Given that the SB era is now more than 50 years old, that's kind of odd, especially since coaches tend to recycle and have opps to win with multiple teams.

    So what's another surprising sports feat that hasn't been accomplished?

    Staying on the Super Bowl theme, that there has never been a punt return touchdown or a shutout in the game.

    I, too, am guilty. Still delivered the best tirades ever.

    I rarely do, but I bought a new car and was driving it to work a few days and so I turned on the FAN. I think he can be curt and abrasive (to say the least), but he knows a lot of arcane behind the scenes shit that can be enlightening. Plus he had good guests, usually beat writers. He also had a doctor who'd come on and discuss players injuries from around the league and what that meant for their ability to play. I've only met him once but he was very gracious. I've heard bad things from other people though.

    Also, Don Shula and Dick Vermeil also got multiple teams to the Super Bowl.

    Three straight Super Bowl wins? Eight different teams have had a crack at it - and none have done it.

    Don't forget John Fox! He lost both, though.
