The Record Books

Every champion, year by year, across twelve competitions and awards. These are the same tables our trivia games run on, checked season by season against the official record before anything was allowed to serve them. Where history is odd we keep it odd: split titles get one row per selector, seasons that were never played are missing on purpose, and stripped titles stay vacant.

🏈 Super Bowl Champions

Every Super Bowl by the year it was played, with the final score, the MVP, the stadium as it was named that day and the host city as it was that day too: Miami until the Gardens incorporated, Stanford for XIX, Las Vegas for LVIII.

No premiership is shown for 2007 or 2009. Melbourne’s titles from those seasons were stripped for salary cap breaches and remain vacant in the official record, so they stay vacant here too.

Where this comes from

Each table was verified against at least two independent sources, and the checks run on every build: winner lists are audited answer by answer, split titles and vacated seasons are pinned so they can never quietly change, and a blank cell means the detail was never verified rather than papered over.
