A toast to the Seattle Seahawks and their fans.
You guys had a hell of a season, and Seattle is a hell of a city. Not to mention the DU 'Hawks fans are some of the kindest rivals I've seen in a long time. Here's a toast to you. :toast:

8. Yeah, it was a pretty good time.
We're shooting for a less sport-realted get-together for the near future.

5. Here too. Toast to the Seahawks and their fans.
:toast:

I know you're sad but you have a great team...the Steelers lost Bettis tonight to retirement (can't blame him) so maybe next year will be Seattle's year.

12. Back in the 70's,
Steeler radio commentator Myron Cope told fans to bring terrycloth towels to a playoff game to wave them in support of the team. Here's the story:

6. Thanks, at least the game wasn't as gut-wrenching
as the Tennessee Titans went through six years ago against the Rams, when Dyson was tackled @ the 1 ending the game.

14. great game!
i thought it was a great game. the seahawks played their hearts out, as did the steelers. i enjoyed every minute.

it's nice to watch a game where the teams are real teams and both sides play with class. i'm thrilled that the steelers won, but will happily raise my glass to the seahawks and their fans :toast:

As a Seahawk fan, thanks...:toast: It was a good year, better than I thought it would be. After losing to the Rams last year in the playoffs, and our weak ass 8-8 record, this year was unexpected, as a fan, I never expected the Seahawks to have a year like this one. I think you can chalk it up to complanceny...I'm so use to having my teams be mediocre, and then tease us with close calls and what not, its weird, when they actually make it all the way to the dance!...:) But there is always next year...barring W getting us all into a Nuke war...

On Edit: Remember that NFL commercial they were playing not to long ago, where they showed what different fans of differing cities were saying about their teams? I remember one of them saying, that they should "I think what they should do is fire M. Holmgren." There were a few others in the commercial, but I have to be honest, I was one of those Fire M. Holmgren people, but I think he has won some support from me this year...he finally is showing us consitancy!...:)
