Loyalty

I think at this point I am finally "from Seattle". I hadn't really felt the need to stick up for my adopted home town until someone decided to start calling it "frou frou". Which is not true of either the city or the football team.

The Seahawks played a decent game. They're two blunders away from contesting the whole game -- the trick play to Hines Ward for a touchdown, and Willie Parker's long run because of poor safety help. I didn't understand the primordial fear of Casey Hampton; the Seahawks have a tremendou O-line, and on Alexander's one A-gap run he managed a healthy seven or so yards. The refs didn't help, with a really crapulent "cutting the blocker" call on Matt Hasselback and what has to be the cheapest offensive pass interference call in Super Bowl history. But they weren't the difference makers; I'm pretty sure the nose of the football just broke the plane in Big Ben's touchdown run. Part of me is happy for Bill Cowher, who ought to have been just as much of a human interest story as Jerome Bettis, and for Georgia Alum Hines Ward and Brown Alum Sean Morey '99.
