I finally chose the right bandwagon to jump on; next week I have the happy task of choosing a keg of beer to bring to the Chief Educator’s Super Bowl party, a keg paid for by the good people at the Venetian Casino in Vegas since last May they were silly enough to accept a wager from me regarding the Seahawks and the NFC championship.
And for any fans making the journey to Detroit for Super Bowl, just be glad the Hawks aren’t playing the Detroit Lions: Imagine the scene in Detroit if the Lions were to lose the Superbowl, especially if it was on a blown call or a timekeepers error or something like that. Absolute anarchy would ensue. Detroit dwellers know a thing or two about rioting (see the annual Devil’s Night Arson Fest in Detroit. You ever see The Crow? That was Detroit on Devil’s Night), but I think the riots after a Lions Superbowl loss would make Devil’s Night look like a tea party with Polly Prissy Pants. Hopefully in the morning the city would still be standing, and all the Seahawk fans would have escaped with their lives, but I’m not so sure.
This guy probably has a decent shot at making it out, but I’d be worried about everyone else:
