CHICAGO - (Stank Press) Soon after his team's divisional loss to the Chicago Bears, Seattle Seahawks coach Pete Carroll once again appealed to the media. "If you think about it," he said, "You can certainly make an argument for this Seahawks team to be co-Super Bowl champions."
Veteran Calvinball ace Carroll pointed out that no other team in history has had to play a playoff game with so few wins under its belt. "No one else had to deal with that handicap. We're also #1 in pretty uniforms. And in a Seattle poll, Seahawk fans were voted the very finest fans in the league. So if you look at the whole picture objectively, yes, I think we deserve a share of the Lombardi trophy. I'm not greedy, though. Just the football thing on top."
Carroll made similar appeals in 2004 when, after his USC team failed to meet the championship criteria to which they agreed before the season, he nonetheless claimed a co-championship with LSU, based on a poll. "You can certainly make an argument," he campaigned then, shortly after paying off the Bush home. "We are as deserving as anyone."
