Not sure if this means anything, but I thought this was a cool stat. In the 2000s, there have been 12 spots in the Super Bowl. They have been filled by 10 teams -- New England three times and nine other teams once each.

2000 -- Baltimore d. NY Giants
2001 -- NE d. St. Louis
2002 -- Tampa Bay d. Oakland
2003 -- NE d. Carolina
2004 -- NE d. Philadelphia
2005 -- Pittsburgh d. Seattle

Same period in baseball, 12 spots in the WS, 10 teams. Yankees three times, nine others once each.

2000 -- NY Yankees d. NY Mets
2001 -- Arizona d. NY Yankees
2002 -- Anaheim d. SF
2003 -- Florida d. NY Yankees
2004 -- Boston d. St. Louis
2005 -- Chicago White Sox d. Houston

Don't know what it means. Just another bit of information.
