Deja Screw?

Well, our Sea Chickens are headed back to sunny Green Bay for a playoff game. I have one comment to make on this game.

We want the ball, and we're gonna score.

If Matt Hasselbeck doesn't come out and say that on the opening coin flip, I will be monumentally disappointed. Say it Matt, and let them hear you say it.

Oh, one more comment. I predict that we get the total NFL imposed screw job on the officiating of this game ala "Super Bowl Extra Large" two years ago. Just instead of Jerome Bettis we are going to lie, cheat, and call holding penalties for, it's Brett Favre. Everyone in the NFL, fans, owners, officials, cats, dogs, girlfriends, and uncles, ALL wanted Pittsburgh to win that game. Bettis was just too lovable of a guy, with a great career, to not send out with a super bowl ring. Right? And who the F are the Seahawks? Where is Seattle again? Does any team in the following picture look a little out of place and un-loved in the NFL world? OK, other than the Broncos, smartass.

The same thing is going to happen next weekend. Who doesn't want Green Bay to win? and that Brett Favre, he's just so damn likable. He really needs to go out with a ring, or at least get that man into the Super Bowl.

I should do an entire post about the officiating of Super Bowl XL, breaking down every obvious bad call (most of which seemed to ruin huge offensive plays by Seattle), and throw in some post-game thoughts from experts, coaches, and the like, but thankfully...

Wikipedia already has.

Love the Wikipedia crew, they cover everything.

Go get 'em Matt. A few other guys and I are all rooting for you.
