Yep, and FReepers would be well-served to be able to recite the process that this 97% was derived.

A poll was conducted of 11,000 people, asking on video ‘Who's you're favorite football team?’

Then their answers were reviewed, but the only responses considered were the 79 people who wore Pittsburgh Steelers jerseys. Turns out, 77 of those 79 claim the Steelers are the best!

(The other two were people who admitted they didn't have any other clean clothes that day)

And that's how you get a 97% consensus.
