I have to agree they were awesome but don't forget the Packers and Ray Nitchke era they won the first two Superbowls and under Lombardy they were a Dynasty and still hold the record for most championship wins Seattle did well this is there first they have a great organization and a lot of young talent lets see if they can repeat that's the tough part.

Absolutely.   Those guys, too.   Under today's rules, Nitchke (and Rosy Grier) would get fined into bankruptcy for breaking quarterbacks.  big_smile   

Which again, goes to demonstrate just how good the Seattle defense is.  They play like their names are Nitchke and Lambert (another great Don James collegiate product) and Butkus, and they're doing it in a era where looking cross-eyed at a quarterback will cost you a $50,000 fine and "Hurt a wide receiver's feelings" is a 15 yard penalty and automatic 1st down.

Re: The Superbowl Thread

Well, there's been much said in the last 24 hours on both sides of the street.  I sat and watched the entire thing end to end, which is saying a lot as I'm not THAT much of a football fan.....But....

There's a new eight letter word in the dictionary meaning Domination;

SEAHAWKS

Nuff Said.

Re: The Superbowl Thread

I agree jerome the press jumps on anything that will get them attenion,and today they have not hardly covered the super bowl much at all,if it had been the patriots  or another well known team they would be talking alot about it.

I didn't watch the half-time show with Bruno Mars and the Red Hot Chili Peppers, but apparently the Chili Peppers were playing air guitar:

Re: The Superbowl Thread

Downtown Seattle is a madhouse right now.  The parade to the stadium is about to start.

You can watch it live here....

Re: The Superbowl Thread

Quite the celebration for sure!  Made the news down here and good stroke for letting the kids off school to attend as well.  Sadly we are likely to have another "snow day" or two (real soon), so hopefully there have been enough scheduled in so the young'uns don't get it tacked to the end of the year.

Congrats again to the "Hawks" and the "12th Man" for all the good effort leading to the Championship Victory!

Re: The Superbowl Thread

The feed was live so if you didn't get on it before about 2:00 or so PST, you probably missed that bit.   Anyway, the are estimating 700,000 people turned out for that thing.  I know those estimates are always a bit optimistic, but I've lived here my whole life and can't remember anything of that scale, ever.
