One out of two ain’t bad. I was right about the sharp pointy teeth of the Seahawks, but I’m thinking when they get that uniform makeover they might want to go all the way and just rename the team the Seattle Shawn Alexanders. Or the Seattle They-Whose-Running-Game-Cannot-Be-Stopped.

I was glad to be wrong about the Steelers, too. They outplayed the Broncos in just about every way a Steelers fan could have hoped for, and Jerome Bettis didn’t hand the Broncos a gift-wrapped chance to take the game back like he did the Colts. If anyone can stop the Seahawks, it will be this team.

Deadspin has the best take on the day:

If another three-and-out would’ve been disastrous, then that interception was positively catastrophic. Not a good day for guys named Jake. Somewhere, Jake Gyllenhall is probably striking out in a gay cowboy bar.

Get ready for what promises to be one of the best Superbowls in years.
