I would imagine that some people got a stern talking too regarding the "one for the history books" comment. That said, I also imagine that it has helped more than hurt. We've all been talking and writing about it and wouldn't have to the same degree had the statement not been made. Even now there will be follow up interviews from major outlets only because of the statement. It's a dangerous card to play, and though I don't think it was intentional, they played it well imo. Now they've got our full attention and we all wait with great anticipation for new findings. Interesting times we live in, for sure.
