Washington Husky Loses Super Bowl

In the future, when Vegas favors your Super Bowl opponent by a touchdown or more, it's best to consider that they're perpetrating some fraud on the betting public or simply don't know what they're talking about only after you've thought long and hard on the possibility that they indeed know exactly what they're talking about. You should, unlike Seattlest -- born and raised in the Windy City -- think long and hard on it before you finish a particularly drinky NFC Championship by seating yourself in front of Southwest.com. In retrospect, no way the Bears are winning that game, and even if they do it's ten below outside -- only the most jingoistic of idiots turns cars over and parties in the streets when it's ten below. There was no Shuffling in Chicago this weekend. It was more of a mad dash from one thermostat to the next.

Olin Kreutz, former Washington Husky, is taking some heat for the two snaps that he failed to deliver to Bears quarterback Rex Grossman. Both were turned over. Consider, though, that Olin Kreutz is a perennial all-star and Rex Grossman may have just completed his first and last season as a starting quarterback in the NFL. Who's probably at fault when the snap ends up on the ground? Kreutz definitely owes Grossman an "outing at the shooting range".

And for Seattlest, believing that the Bears would win the game with such certainty is like believing an El ride from Midway airport to the south Loop was "close enough to walk" to our destination in the north Loop when it's ten below out. But, fuck it. We've been in the city of the loser of the Super Bowl for the last two years, so why break a streak. We'll be headed back to Chicago for next year's game.
