So you think the Seattle Seahawks might get some respect, after the 42-0 drubbing of the Eagles on Monday Night Football. Think again. Nothing's going to change for the NFL's Rodney Dangerfield.
Last week, FoxSports.com listed Seattle 11th in their Power Rankings, a team with the NFC's best record. Come on people, they're at least 9th!
As for last night's win, most people will point to a "banged up" Philly team as the reason for the blowout.
No, I'm not going to whine about an East Coast bias. There are still plenty of people who don't think Chicago is for real either. And you can't blame them. The last time Seattle won a playoff game, I was collecting Garbage Pail Kids cards. I still have some, are they worth anything?
And don't think an NFC championship is going to do it either. For the Seahawks to get respect on the national stage, they're going to have to stun the world, and bring the Lombardi Trophy back to Seattle.
