HISTORY: the only thing worse that seeing Big "22.7 rated" Ben hoisting the Lombardi would be Rex "0.00 rated" Grossman holding it.
CURSES: four words: Super Bowl Loser's Curse, which should eliminate a potential Conference rival from the 2007 playoffs.
WHITE NOISE: because Seahawks fans have already tuned out the media love-fest with the Colts, so the incessant off-season media hype of a Colts repeat will be easier to ignore.
PRIDE: the Bears would otherwise be the first #1 seed from the NFC to win the SB, something the Seahawks failed to do last season.
HUMOR: Tony Dungy and Peyton Manning make better commercials.
