Divine reversal of bad-call karma

I have never heard so much about a bad pass interference/touchdown call in all my football watching life. I believe with all my heart and soul that this “bad call” was “Divine Intervention.” Yep … I think this was a gift from God to make up for all those horribly bad calls the Seahawks were victims of during Super Bowl XL 2006. The Seahawks got their “payback” and though it didn’t make up for the Super Bowl we lost due to all those horribly wrong bad calls, it sure felt good to be on the right side of a wrong call for a change. Enjoy your hard-fought victory Hawks … we all know the truth but sometimes those truths are meant to be stretched just a lil bit. (wink wink).

Long-time Seahawks fan,

Susan Martin
