Having grown up with football in the "Bradshaw to Swann" and Steel Curtain era, I have to root for the Steelers.

I have enough reasons to enjoy watching Seattle fail anyway.

1. Holmgren bailed on GB so he could show what an inept General Manager he could be.

2. Holmgren's inane call to let Denver score a TD near the end of Super Bowl XXXII. Sure, Denver may have won the game anyway, but Homgren just handed it to them.

3. Holmgren's refusal to allow certain players to attend the White House "meet and greet" after the Super Bowl XXXI victory. He said he didn't want players that were not returning next year to attend. So he shut out Chris Jacke who had been a solid kicker for them, but let Jim McMahon stand there wearing Chicago Bears apparel.

4. Hasselbeck's mouthy comment "We'll take the ball and we're gonna score" after the overtime coin toss at Lambeau a couple years back. (Karma: Al Harris incepted his pass and ran it back for a TD)

5. Seattle played in the weakest division in the NFL. They were the only team in their division that broke .500 for the season.

6. Seattle played decently against Washington, but Washington's offense was overrated once teams figured out how to cover Santana Moss. The game against Carolina was pretty much a joke. Carolina had no running game left which made them purely the Steve Smith show; Seattle dedicated the defensive backs to covering him and Carolina was completely shut down.

7. Seattle has a better RB and offensive line, but Pittsburgh outclasses them at pretty much everything else.

But they're still gonna play the game.
