Hall: Quit Whining, Seattle Fans

The Seattle Seahawks are a massively competent football team but their supporters, it turns out, are fair-weather fans - naive Monday morning quarterbacks desperately in need of better brains. Just because one play didn't work one moment during the Super Bowl doesn't mean that the play wasn't a potential masterstroke. By now, most of the millions who watched this year's Super Bowl have tried Seattle coach Pete Carroll and found him and his crew guilty of choosing a final play that didn't work -- this time. I speak to you today, my fellow fans, from the perspective of someone who is also a Monday morning quarterback, but my slant on the lost game is probably correct if you stop to think about. My learned advice is to quit sobbing and stamping your little feet/Bill Hall, Lewiston Tribune. More here.

Question: Are you still complaining about that final play call by Pete Carroll in Super Bowl XLIX?
