I confess I’m surprised at the level of animosity I’m seeing against the Seahawks. I guess I need to get out more.

Being Seattle sports fans we're not used to winning. Other fanbases poke fun at us for this reason, in fact, as though you're somehow less of a human being unless you're a bandwagon fan that only roots for the "hot" team.

I read an article recently about how sports fandom is like a drug with a similar addicition mechanism. The more a fan's team wins the nastier he gets (just look at some of the comments on this thread by fans of winning teams).

Take it in stride and remember it's just sports, a way to share vicariously in the glory of the Olympiads of our age...

And GO HAWKS! :-)
