You are such an ass. "IF" the redskins hadn't had the blown call they would have been fine, and I'm sure them winning the NFC would have been impressive - the same NFC that the Seahawks are belittled for winning.

Ass.

i'm glad you saw the wheelchair guy, too. i couldn't tear my eyes off of him, but my friend never even noticed the guy wheeling around!

The games were definitely crummy, but I think I was trying to type "crappy" and my antiquated cell phone wouldn't let me.

Big Ben was amazing and is a joy to watch, but the game itself was not very exciting. Compared to the Seahawks game though, it was like the '58 Championship.
JRod, you're right. Seattle did earn their berth in the Super Bowl. They earned that first-round bye and, thus, the right to play teams like the Redskins and Panthers who were beat-up because they didn't. (Although the Redskins would have earned a first-round bye had it not been for the blown call in the first Tampa game, but that's irrelevant.) Seattle still is not a great team and the fact that they emerged from a mediocre NFC does nothing to change that fact. Teams that are merely "good" win the Super Bowl all the time (Baltimore, the first Pats team, Tampa, etc...) and Seattle could too. I just don't think they will.
As for Duke, I'll get into them more tomorrow, but I still think they deserve to be #1 in the polls even though UConn will likely get the honor. I'll explain my thoughts tomorrow.

Even though Seattle would struggle to get in the playoffs in the AFC, they were the best team in the NFC and took care of business. You can never fault a team for winning games, regardless of their schedule or detriments of their opponent. I am not saying I think they will beat the Steelers, but they deserve to be there and I think should get a little credit. You have picked against them every week and talk about the faults of the other team causing those outcomes. To be honest, I am not that big of a fan of them, but give a little respect.

So Ben had an amazing game and fun to watch but both were "crummy". I actually enjoyed the steelers game as they haven't lost site of what they are here for since the wild card games. On the other jr. varsity event that took place in Seattle, both teams proved that the AFC should have two teams in the SB. They look like they have wanted it since Ben got healthy again from the knee.
Anything Duke? I guess it's irrelevant as Florida last too.

Ha! I've been e-mailing back and forth about that very topic all day. Tomorrow I'll get into that, Trent Strickland's status as the worst starter in big-time college basketball, Shelden Williams: The Shaun Alexander of college basketball and the mysterious Georgetown wheelchair guy.

What, no mention of Wake's loss to State after Prosser blew a 12 point first half lead by benching all starters (ex. Big E) 3 minutes before the half?!
