> What's all the hype?

Don't get me wrong; I'm just as excited and ecstatic as the next Seattlite they the Seahawks made it to the Big Game... but what was all the fuss about? The way my people were talking about the 'Hawks you would've thought that they were the current amalgam of the leagues finest in history... much like the Cowboys of the 90's.

I wasn't impressed at all. See, I don't much follow sports anymore, and I was shocked to hear that Seattle had made it. Not that I don't have faith, but they never had a squad when I was tracking.

I saw brilliant but intermittent and inconsistent play punctuated by error and immaturity. I know this is the first time in 30 years, but my goodness! EXECUTE! You can't expect to win when on average you execute on 1 out of 5 downs. It's not enough to be satisfied with the fact that you made it to the Game; you have to come to play and expect to win.

Let me be clear; I commend the Seahawks for their success this season, and I take nothing from the Steelers. However, I wish my former hometown team had taken the trophy.

Rock on fellas; my hat is off to you. Get some rest tomorrow and show up for work on Tuesday.
