Conventions be damned, I ain't cheering for them.

With Indianapolis being an AFC city, it would be conventional sports fandom to cheer for the AFC team in the Super Bowl if the Colts weren't in it, but... yeah, there's no way I'm cheering for the Pats.

As a kid growing up in Atlanta when the Braves were still in the NL West the joke went "Who are an Atlanta baseball fan's two favorite teams? The Braves and whoever's playing the Dodgers."

So last night's manhandling of New England by the Seahawks was pretty tasty, if vicarious, revenge on our home team's nemesis.

I only caught the second half of the game, which means I watched it devolve from a slightly one-sided 9-0 affair into a 29-13 curb stomping. Seattle fans looked happy about getting sweet vengeance for Super Bowl XLIX.
