The following something I found in the Seattle Times Archives. This letter to the editor was published in the sports page on January 11th, 2004, 2 years before the 'Hawks actually played in the Super Bowl. I'm sure many people read this and laughed their heads off. It's fun to look at now.
A team on the verge
The Seahawks, especially Matt Hasselbeck, are one of the most exciting sports stories of the year. They have been perfect at home and not only broke the glass door to the playoffs, but had every bit the talent to go to the big one.
Sure, Mike Holmgren's first few years have been disappointing, but now that he is concentrating on coaching, along with promising rookies, the addition of Ray Rhodes and the development of the young receivers, a team that barely showed up on the radar screen for the past 15-odd years is now a whisker hair away from winning all of its fans back.
A little tinkering with the defense, and I think our long-awaited Super Bowl is in the offing.
