Dear Seattle Seahawks:

I know many of you are regular readers of this blog, and this open letter is not merely a trite convention of the blogosphere.

I also know you enjoy whining. You bitched that the referees cost you the Super Bowl (which they did), and you bitched that Viking linebacker E.J. Henderson semi-purposely injured Matt Hasselbeck (which he didn't).

But if you're going to come out with the disrespect card (talking about how nobody thinks you should even bother showing up, talking about how nobody is giving you a chance, nobody respects you, nobody is picking you to win the game) BEFORE the game, you just might want to go out and win the fucking game. Otherwise, all you've done is validate us.

Thanks, and we hope next year that once again you lose a playoff game you could easily have won with a few less dropped passes, a few more accurate throws, and a little better play-calling and clock management.

Have a nice day!
