After 4 years of trying, the Hawks finally put the stake through the heart of the Niners that finished them. They had the alligator blood of Mike McDermott from Rounders. You had a fear that like Glenn Close in Fatal Attraction, they might get out of the bathtub one last time. But when Paul Richardson caught that pass from Russell in the end zone on Sunday, it likely signified the end of the best rivalry in the NFL. Douchebag Harbaugh Style most likely will find himself across the Bay in Oakland or perhaps will darken the door of Michigan Stadium once again. I’ll be honest, I’m a little saddened by that. As many of the Seahawks often say, iron sharpens iron. I truly believe that the personal rivalry (even though they deny it exists) between Pete and Jim made each work just a little harder and the results were evidence of that. Granted, the animosity that Seahawks fans feel toward Niners fans (and vice versa) will keep the rivalry stoked a little bit, but that edge will be gone with Harbaugh’s departure.
In its place though, we could very well see the birth of the next best rivalry in the NFL between the Seahawks and the Cardinals on Sunday night. A battle for the #1 seed in the NFC playoffs is at stake. What better movie to preview it with than the battle within the Griswold household come Christmas Vacation.
