A Superlative Bowl

Art Thiel comments on the irritating depth of sportsmanship, manners, and brotherhood at the Superlative Bowl. Even the PI forum, featuring a spate of P-burghers, is by football standards a paideia of respect and elevated discussion. Meanwhile, Hasselback calls Tobek a Hobbit, Alexander is playing chess, and I'm being to understand our fan base appeal.

The only real poopy pants aside from the East Coast media cabal is Texas A and M, getting a restraining order against the 12th man (O how I recall on how much money the University of Washington made when we sued every team in the entire world for "The Wave." ) Bloodless-lipped whiny little brokeback buckaroos. This, and for so many other Texnian excesses, not the least of which is (SEE STANDARD PARAGRAPH) inspired the above (note the 49 star flag). AND Condi Rice is picking the Steelers. (From the PI)

Maybe she should stick to diplomacy

U.S. Secretary of State Condoleeza Rice, who has said she aspires to be commissioner of the National Football League, picked the Steelers to beat the Seahawks.

"I picked Pittsburgh to beat Cincinnati; I have picked against them every game since; I'm not picking against them again. I believe the Steelers are going to win it," Rice told reporters on her way back to Washington from diplomatic meetings in London.

(Side note: W.'s America Is In A Free-fall Decline for Some Reason speech - so defensive, false and dull I didn't soil my eyes by watching it -Please See Standard Paragraph - sounded in summaries like Courtney Love telling us we will all get clean, once and for all. And it's worth saying that W is the closest thing we'll get to Courtney Love as the President of the United States. Those two should hook up. )

Well, I expect that come Sunday we multifarious Seahawks enthusiasts shall cheer our fellows with great good vigor as our team gives those Steelers a sound drubbing indeed. Rah! 23 Skidoo!
