It was the worst of times, it was the best of times

Yesterday's NFL football was full of mixed emotions -- from watching in disbelief as the Steelers dug Denver into a hole they could not get out of to seeing the underrated Seahawks deal the Panthers a crushing blow. The first game made me sad, the second one made me smile.

Seattle is in the Super Bowl! Sounds like a made-up headline. It's been a long time coming, and no team is more deserving. It turned out the Broncos were too good to be true, at least past the division championship. They're down, but not out; next year will be their year of reckoning, and Jake Plummer's numerous critics will at long last eat their words.

And now we all get to watch a Super Bowl match-up we never expected: Steelers vs. Seahawks. No matter the outcome, it will be one fun game to see. Go Seattle!
