They may have lost but look at treasure of articles for me!
Like this one too:
UNDERCOVER MAN: Terry Pfeufer, wandering through the Marriott hotel wearing a Steve Largent jersey, looked like any other Seahawks fan -- but he wasn't.
He lives in Pittsburgh, born and raised, exposed to pro football during the Steelers' glory years of the 1970s.
As Pfeufer, 38, explains it, he was more interested in adopting the expansion Seahawks than climbing on the Pittsburgh bandwagon. He liked Jim Zorn and Largent, preferred the Seahawks' colors.
"My father is a big Steelers fan, a big fan of Franco Harris," Pfeufer said. "I'm happy to inform him that Franco retired from the Seahawks."
Each year, he makes a pilgrimage once or twice to Seattle to watch a game. He buys souvenirs off eBay. He owns a signed Zorn jersey, photos of Hasselbeck and Shaun Alexander and former players Shawn Springs and Chad Brown, and lithographs of several Seahawks players. He has Direct TV to watch all of Seattle's games.
At his suburban Coraopolis home, he usually raises a Seahawks flag on Sunday during the season. He didn't do it this week. He's planning on putting the place up for sale, and doesn't want it damaged.
Pfeufer is in Detroit enjoying the Super Bowl festivities with a friend, but hasn't landed a ticket, and doesn't expect to.
He naturally gets ribbed in Pittsburgh about his Seahawks affiliation. He's heard a lot of insults lately.
"It's almost like being back in college, when you hear somebody say something about your girlfriend or a buddy you don't particularly care about," he said.
"It gets sensitive when you're a Seahawks fan."
Oh and I LOVE this one:
And their
kids go to college together!
