Hmm... I haven't had any old games record with this rule. I think the
"Sports event" category keeps it from picking those up. In my myth listings
I see some old games (like Super Bowl XXIII vs. the Bengals--ooh that was a
good one) but they're showing up as "Special" or "Sports non-event"
category.
