Growing as I have, a little weary of politics, I would like to venture back into the world of sports with the sports event to end all sports events taking place this Sunday: the Super Bowl. I love football and a game of this stature certainly has a worthy contest this year as the Seattle Seahawks, in it for the first time ever, take on the wildcard Pittsburgh Steelers. Everyone is talking about the Steelers, since they have won three straight road games. But my pick, and my hope, is for the Seahawks. It will be a close game but the Seahawks have one of the best offensive lines in the league, capable not only of protecting the quarterback but also opening holes for their all-star runners, including League MVP Shaun Alexander. And while Alexander is their only big-name All-Star, even when he went down against a battered Washington defense, the rest of the team stepped up hard and won. Their team also won against the NFC's version of Pittsburgh two weeks ago, beating Carolina handily 34-14. Seattle's defense is tough, remember their 42-0 humiliation of the Eagles in Philadelphia? Pittsburgh will not be a pushover but in the end, I predict a down-to-the-wire Seattle win, 27-21. Let's go, Seahawks!
