I figure I'm allowed to take one shot at Seattle instafans for every five instances of "we're gonna kick your ass!" I have to endure. Today's Seattle Times has the definitive observation:
At the Sideline Sports Bar in Bellevue, a regular haunt of Steelers fans, managers are expecting a Super Bowl crowd with a strong contingent for each team. "We've never seen anything like this," assistant manager Steve Hunt said. "The Steelers fans have been coming here for years, and now we're seeing Seahawks fans coming out of the woodwork."Even more remarkable than the fans this quote describes is their utter lack of self-awareness. They will not read this quote and be embarrassed. They will have an explanation. "Well, before now there was nothing to cheer, was there?" they'll point out helpfully.
