Couple of comments.

Seattle played an aggressive, non-stop defensive game that set up the offense, period. That's my opinion. D didn't give an inch and they are to be commended. I rooted for Denver because Colorado is my home state and because I really would have liked to see Peyton Manning end his season on a high, legendary note.

We defeated him at Nebraska when he was at Tennessee and I've watched him through years rebound from severe defeats. I think he's a heads-up, honorable man in the NFL who comes back year after year in pretty good shape with a head on his shoulders. He's an incredible player, win or lose. And no one will ever change my opinion of him. I consider him to be in the ranks of guys who have truly made this sport what it should be: competitive with honor. And unless he really messes up, that's my .02.

Harry Truman once said, "I feel like a load of hay just fell on me" when he assumed the presidency after FDR's death in office. When I looked at Peyton Manning today, I thought, "he looks like Harry Truman felt." And my heart goes out to him and so does my respect. You cannot put a game —especially expectations of a championship—on one man. Where was the team?

The guys of Seattle deserve that trophy. They played aggressively, strategically and opportunistically on both sides of the ball. That's what they love, that's why they make the big bucks. They risk their bodies for this game and life is over by around 38 unless you're a punter, 40 tops.

What I don't like or appreciate is that Seattle's win is overshadowed (in the media and internet) by Denver's defeat. These guys deserve accolades, rather than concentration on Denver's poor performance with criticism like, "shitty game," "bummer," "terrible loss," etc, etc. It's done. I believe that if you have any respect for the game, as its designed, and fair play...then man up as a fan, deal with it and give credit where credit is due.

Bask Seattle, you deserve applause and respect for playing a great game and for bringing home a first-ever Championship for your team.
And you have my respect in the game that I will always love most. To me, your win is...football.
