Mick Foley, You Have No Idea How Right You Are -- Welcome to the WWNFL...

A @Seahawks comeback of @HulkHogan proportions! #NFCChampionship

(I have more to say on the 161-2 girls' basketball game in this area, with two more large newspaper articles on the subject.  That will go below anything on the football today, only because this is SO OBVIOUS.)

I tried to avoid today's game because I knew it's result would be inevitable.

I was right, but could only avoid most of it.

I had business today, and mis-timed it so that I was out and about during halftime of the NFC Championship Game Coronation.

Packers fans were happy, Seahawks fans huddled, wondering what the Hell was going on.

So I asked a young woman the score, and she told me "16-0".

I said, "Oh, 16-0 Seahawks.", knowing that that was probably how Goodell might want it.

When she said it was for the Packers, my jaw dropped.

So, on goes the afternoon and I do my business.  I get to somewhere just to check, and the Packers have just punted the ball, leading 19-7 with just a little over five minutes to go, Seattle with the ball on about their 45.

I'm now going to insert a story here from a number of years back, and I believe I at least alluded to it on this blog.

With 8:01 to go in the second quarter, Alabama was leading Cam Newton's Auburn 24-0 after a field goal.

I had similar business to do downtown that I did today, but I made mental note that I was certain -- somehow, SOME WAY, that Auburn was going to win the game.

Auburn won 28-27, the rest being history.

I had spent most of the day, before that moment, actually thinking "Is Roger Goodell reverting to PR Mode?"

The moment I saw 19-7 with Seattle with the ball, I knew better. (And the 7 was a fake field-goal touchdown to get it 16-7.)

And looking at the scoreline, it's even WORSE!!!

Green Bay secures the Seahawks' FOURTH interception of the game on the next play, and now you have to think...

Three and out. Another punt. 3:52 to go.

7 plays, 69 yards, and the almighty quarterback was 2/3, 46 yards.

Onside kick at 19-14, Seattle gets it.

4 plays, 50 yards, Beast Mode (check) for the touchdown, TWO-POINT CONVERSION, and they're up 3 with 1:25 left.   Only one pass in the drive, complete for 8 yards.

That two-point conversion should've told you something. Yep, OVERTIME (check), Crosby from 48 with 14 seconds for the tie at 22.

Seattle then gets the ball...

• 4 yards for Lynch
• Play-action pass, 10 yards.
• 4 yards for Lynch.
• Wilson has to eat one.
• Third down, biggest play of the NFL year, and the Seattle receiver is SO WIDE OPEN that, had his angle not forced him out of bounds at the 36, he scores then.
• No matter, next play, Packers get "torched" for another 35 yard pass (check) for the win.

So we get Wilson lighting up the Packers (3/3 for 80 on the winner, 1/1 for 8 on 22-19, and 2/3 for 46 on 19-14.)

Russell Wilson, for the game, was 14/29 for 209 with 4 picks. That means, for the first 56 minutes of the game, the almighty quarterback (Propaganda Check) of the Super Bowl Champions was 8/22 for 74 yards with 4 picks.

He finishes 7/8 for 134 and the winning score.

My anonymous friend calls it the "WW-NFL" for a reason. It's time to educate the public in a little...

PROFESSIONAL.

WRESTLING.

101.

What you saw today was the classic "Superstars Main Event" of the 1980's and early 1990's in the World Wrestling Federation, where the Koko B. Ware "Jobber to the Stars" (JTTS) jobs to the King Kong Bundy "Superstar" who's going on to "WrestleMania".

The match begins. You have to establish (even though I thought this was going to be a wall-to-wall rout) that the face has to have a chance so you can keep people interested in the match (and the commercials and sponsors the NFL is foisting upon you).

So the JTTS gets several of his big moves off and then presents himself to the crowd for their adulation. (Yes, in this case, it's more the national "crowd" who is more anti-SeaThug than pro-Packer.)

Then the heel comes back with a vengeance.

BUT WAIT!! Just when it looks like the heel has the face down for the (for Bundy, FIVE!) count, a momentary hope!

Only to get squashed, and Bundy insists on five.

If you walk through that entire last part of the fourth quarter and overtime, you could have had Gorilla Monsoon and Bobby Heenan calling the action for FOX, it was so obvious!!

I have but one question for anyone who reads this blog (and I've already sent it to Mike Greenberg of ESPN):

@Espngreeny Can I ask an honest question? Did you REALLY think, even at 16-0 and 19-7, that the Packers were going to win? #Rigged #NFL
