Watching chubby breathless NE lineman chase #7 as he touched down was beautiful slapstick.

Nice to see the Seahawks win.  this is the 4th time they've had the statistically best team in the NFL so not getting a 2nd win would have put them in the conversation for biggest chokers ever.

What's more interesting is that you could argue that the 3 best teams in the NFL this year were all in the same conference.  That's never happened before.  The LA Rams are clearly 2nd best and if the 49'ers weren't getting beat up playing the Rams and Seahawks 5!!! times during the season, they'd have to be considered as 3rd best

Walker was "a dude".  Clearly the biggest difference-maker in the game.  Seahawks secondary maybe second.

QB Craig Morton (1943-2026)


I recall rooting for him to beat dirty DAL back in SB XII...

My sister lived in Denver for 20 years or so, including the Morton years and the Orange Crush defense. Morton ran into problems with back taxes, and some Bronco fans started a donation campaign to raise the money he owed. She sent in a check for $10 “and now I have his autograph on the canceled check.”

Didn't that team have Upchurch as returner? That dude was explosive...(or he played for Chiefs, I forget...

Rick Upchurch. Great return guy. Others included Randy Gradisher (LB), Lyle Alzado (DT), Otis Armstrong (RB).

What is the incidence of left-handedness among NFL quarterbacks vis-à-vis general male populous? Far lower than expected...or was the game designed and just such evolved? It would help to be able to go looking glass on offense/defense...writelikethislessspace...

Tony Romo...dude grew up in a neighboring town, but I was overseas when he was winning as high-schooler.

Give him credit for the mugshot smirk.

Parts of Northwest Indiana have been without power for over 1 week; it'll be days before it's back on...

...it's like where the Bears'll play in 2029...

The crime data I see put Milwaukee like Oakland or Memphis or Detroit...

The PRO BOWL has been cancelled.


People, you'd better get your congressional representatives on line about this, 'cuz this sh*t might be real.

Time to act.

Yeah, it's past time to kill it.  It quit being worthy at least 20-25 years ago.  The risk of injury just isn't worth it for the players.

The Bears are now better than the Packers, and it only took 35 years to change.

It'd be cool to see the Bears lose the Super Bowl to the Raiders.

Bet $10 on that result and forget about it. If it happens,youre set. Raiders possibly a million to 1...for a .500 season.

Ok, what famous NFL head coach was also, earlier, a MLB player?  (It's possible there's more than one, but I only know of one.)

Virtually certain he didn't play pro baseball, altho he played in college.  Reasonable guess.

“The experts are all smoked up over young George Halas,” reported the New-York Tribune. “He is a husky youth with 180 pounds of solid stuff to put behind every swing.” - above link

Myself, as Packer fan seeing Viking comeback today:

"YES! Blessed be me to witness such greatest ascension in all of Mankind's rich, glorious history, and so I applaud victors for receipt of (undeniably) Providential aid."
