"There's an incredible feeling of emptiness and missed opportunity,"
Paul Allen, Chairman, Seattle Seahawks

Lofa Tatupu, right, takes a moment on the bench after the Seahawks' loss Sunday.

Before the game began I stared at the TV screen, astounded, and listened to the most energetically inappropriate pre-game anthem* known to humankind and knew that the Seahawks were going to lose, hence, I spent the game's entirety gulping Riesling and talking sh*t with my uptown crew. Next time, fellas, chose something glorious and triumphant. I'd take a trophy over tremens any day.

*Apparently this is the pre-game anthem regularly blared at Qwest Field.
