As a Seahawk fan, I am saddened. The addled >nitwit who makes Playboy's picks each year has been so far wrong > 1. The nitwit mentioned above (Anson Mount) has an affiliation with the Pacific NorthWest and appears to bias opinions because of this. For proof look at his predictions over the past 5 years on how well OSU (Go Beavs :-)) would do. (~6 wins versus predictions of ~26). It should not surprise anyone that the first time the Seahawks have a slim chance at winning the Super Bowl Anson Mount would choose them. 2. As a 49er fanatic (No, I am not a bandwagon jumper. I have suffered with the Niners 18 of my 23 years) I am enjoying what future historians will consider the Niner Dynasty. Nobody will even come close this year as the Niners will be 19-0. I am still convinced that the Niners would have gone undefeated last year if the stupid Seahawk game had not taken priority over the Niner-Steeler contest in the Portland area. One of the two Niner games the networks missed here. The 49ers simply cannot play their best if I don't get to see the game (-: 3. Did anybody else think it peculiar that the networks completely skipped the opening of NFL pre-season last weekend. Or did the swine at the Portland stations simply not broadcast them here. What gives?!? 4. Predictions: San Fransisco 49ers St. Louis Cardinals Green Bay Packers (Is the Pack Back?) (The Bears are sissies) Oakland (I can't say LA) Raiders New England Patriots Pittsburg Steelers Super Bowl: San Fransisco 44 Seattle 17 (My dad likes the Seahawks) (They do better as a wild card) College: #1 Anybody but BYU please. Florida State otherwise. Oregon State Beavers 4-0 then 6-5 (Don't laugh, it hurts) PAC-10: University of Washington (I hate them Dawgs) <<<<<<<< LETS PLAY BALL >>>>>>>>
