To our non-American fans who don't follow (our version of) football, I need to briefly explain what happened last Sunday during our little Super Bowl contest. With 26 seconds left in the game, Seattle was down 24-28. They were also one yard away from beating New England. All they had to do was run the ball into the end zone, scoring a touchdown that New England would have no time to recover from.

Seattle has the best running back in the league in Marshawn Lynch. All Seattle fans waited with bated breath for QB Russell Wilson to hand the ball off to Marshawn, who would Beast Mode it across the line and seal the Seahawks' victory. Instead, this happened (Seattle in blue):

Seahawk fans were apoplectic, unable to comprehend why coach Pete Carroll would direct Wilson to take a risky pass, rather than have the ball run in by one of the greatest talents in the league. But that's not what this post is about.

You Seattle fans can't get your money back, but maybe this will ease the sting.

The Brady hunch

For Pete's sake
