Yeah, but we got the Packer's coach: Holmgren and one of Microsoft's founding fathers: Paul Allen as owner.

With more in reserve if need be. They can "find points" until March if they have to.

Holmgren is a plus... but Microsoft's founding father Paul Allen is another reason to root for the Steelers to crush the Seahawks. That plus the fact that WA state just added another layer of legal protection to lesbians & homosexuals. WA is competing with MA & CA to win the Most Sodom-Gomorrah Clone-Like State in the U.S. Sorry WA state, I'm rooting for the Steelers big time in this one!
To: rcrngroup
Sorry, neither big bucks nor sexual orientation (or lack thereof) will sway me from rooting for my hometown Seahawks! Nice try. LOL!
