Quote of the Day: Lee Russakoff
From Lee Russakoff's NFL Playoff Power Rankings:
12. Seattle Seahawks (Googolplex-to-1 )
Note that a googolplex is only the world’s second-largest number with a name. I didn’t put the ‘Hawks' odds at Googolplexian-to-1 because that would be ridiculous. Plus there is a scenario – where the entire planet blacks out FlashForward-style for the entirety of the playoffs, but Bill Gates buys the Seahawks roster special alpha rings so that they can stay awake and win four games in a row (because no one else shows up) – I can envision where the Seahawks win it all.
Is Qwest a tough place to play? Sure. Should New Orleans be a tad nervous about traveling across country on a short week? You bet. But Seattle is ranked 28th in total offense and 27th in total defense. That’s not even mediocre. And it won’t be good enough to beat the Saints.
