For the first time in team history, the Seattle Seahawks have an even record. They have won 319 games, including regular season and playoffs, and have also lost that many game (excluding pre-season). ---

Ever see an image of the lord or the blessed mother in your toast or your bathroom door? In one Seattle restaurant, someone [discovered the Seahawks logo in the grain of a pizza board](http://www.komonews.com/news/local/Seahawk-Image-Found-In-Pizza-Peel-290140891.html). It is no accident that NFL games are played on Sunday. ---

Conan O’Brien got Marshawn Lynch and Rob Gronkowski together to play some Mortal Combat, and it’s amazing. Link is in the spoiler box because of graphic video-game violence and language, but it’s well worth checking out - after so much has been made of Lynch’s prickly side, it’s nice to see him having some fun.

Seahawks will become only the second team ever to not concede a touchdown in a Super Bowl. I was actually going to have a bet on it to have an interest but it is only paying $9.20 which is way under what I expected. ---

Hopefully, the **SEAHAWKS** will bury the soft-balling Pats by at least 10 touchdowns. Secondly, I hope no one is injured. ---
