Sure it’s not as exciting as Joey Porter vs Jerramy Stevens but in a Super Bowl week with not much in terms of storylines, the battle between Texas A&M and the Seattle Seahawks over the “12th Man” moniker is heating up. A judge in Brazos County, Texas, will review the case today. Now, I’m sure he’s a fine judge but this seems to me a little biased. Meanwhile, a Seattle sports radio personality suggested that Seahawks fans send 12 cents to the athletic director as Texas A&M as payment for using the trademark.

On Tuesday, I talked about how the theory of scrabble-tivity suggested the Seahawks will win the Super Bowl. Well, here is a slightly more scientific reason. According to a sports psychologist who has developed a system (yeah, yeah, everyone has a system) that has accurately predicted the winner or team that will cover in the past three Super Bowls, the Seahawks will win.

Dr. John F. Murray’s “Mental Performance Index” calculates a rating based on every single play in the playoffs. On a scale of .000 to 1.000, he says the Seahawks outscore the Steelers .566 to .530. He says the Seahawks will win by 5 to 10 points. Hmmm, that’s +160 money line on the Seahawks is looking pretty good about right now.

Let’s hope he can hold it in

Of all the signs at Seahawks stadium (I have no idea what the corporate name is), this was the worst.  What exactly does it mean?  He’s gonna drop a loaf-a where? On the field?  In the locker room?  Is he going to pull a Najeh Davenport and take a dump in someone’s closet?  Who the hell thought this would be a good sign.  Nice touch on the steam coming out of the “loaf”, by the way.

Sean Locklear

Just hours after beating the Redskins on Saturday, Sean Locklear was arrested for domestic abuse after allegedly grabbing his girlfriend around the neck outside Belltown Billiards.  Apparently, he was upset because she was dancing with another man and confronted her.  Locklear is being held without bail until his hearing on Tuesday.

Why hasn’t Mike Holmgren instituted a ‘no going out after games’ policy? Earlier in the year, Ken Hamlin was seriously injured in a bar brawl in October after Seattle beat the Texans.

You know how hockey players grow beards during the playoffs? Perhaps football players should stop hanging around their girlfriends/wives.

Speaking about his statement that the league told him they made an error in allowing two Giants TDs the week before, Holgrem said, “I kind of messed up” and that he should have just said it was between him and the league.  The only problem is that the cat is out of the bag.  In a statement released Tuesday, the league said:

Our officiating department never discussed with the Seahawks the Amani Toomer touchdown reception, which was properly called. The Jeremy Shockey touchdown catch at the end of the first half was not overturned because the referee determined that there was insufficient visual evidence to reverse the call.”

So by saying that he shouldn’t have told us what the league told him, Holmgren is indicating that the league did in fact tell him the two TDs were mistakes, and, on top of that, the league lied in the Tuesday statement.  Holmgren said he expects to be fined.  I wonder what the fine is for embarrassing the league.
