this post made me giggle...it came from the seattle times photographer's blog.
Did the Seahawks sell their souls to the Devil in order to get to a Super Bowl?
Did Mike Holmgren, Tim Ruskell and Tod Leiweke secretly meet with Beelzebub outside of a Kirkland bar in the fall of 2005, asking for a monster year by Shaun Alexander and a trip to Detroit for Super Bowl XL?
I looked through my archives and I don't have any photographic proof that such a meeting took place.
But if it had, might it have gone like this?
Devil: Let's get this straight -- you want to go to the Super Bowl this season.
Holmgren: Yes. Once more before I retire.
Devil: Remember -- the Super Bowl is in Detroit. You sure you don't want to wait until it's in a warmer climate?
Leiweke: We don't care. We think we can beat Pittsburgh.
Devil: It'll cost you...
Ruskell: We know. How about you take Steve Hutchinson and let him sign a poison pill contract with Minnesota?
Devil: Well, I do owe Minnesota. I did once take their hockey team and move it to Dallas.
Holmgren: What's it going to be?
Devil: How about I take six wide receivers from you in 2008?
(Holmgren, Leiweke and Ruskell huddle together...)
Holmgren (whispering): Let's do it!
Leiweke: We're completely mortgaging our future!
Ruskell: Who cares? We might not even be in Seattle. I heard some rich goofus in Oklahoma City is trying to move a team there.
They turn their attention back to the black-clad figure.
Holmgren: Deal! We go to the Super Bowl, you get some receivers down the road.
Devil: Great. Done. Now excuse me -- I have a meeting. The Steelers want to meet with me...something about NFL officials next February...
