Some years ago premier Khrushchev was speaking before the Supreme Soviet and was severely critical of the late Premier Stalin. While he was speaking someone from the audience sent up a note: "What were you doing when Stalin committed all these atrocities?" Khrushchev shouted, "Who sent up that note?" Not a person stirred. "I'll give him one minute to stand up!" The seconds ticked off. Still no one moved. "All right, I'll tell you what I was doing. I was doing exactly what the writer of this note was doing--exactly nothing! I was afraid to be counted!"
It is a surprising statistic but no football team that has a domed stadium and artificial turf as a home field has ever won the Superbowl. And even if one should win in the future the statistics will not be in their favor. The conditioning of a Superbowl team requires rain, wind, mud, heat, cold, and snow, and sleet. No team will be ready for the challenges of the Playoffs who has not undergone the test of the elements. A winning team must consider all the possible scenarios and prepare for them.
