We didn't get anything fun or exciting to come from incoming NBA commissioner, Adam Silver. The next time that I write this column though the Seattle Seahawks could be Super Bowl Champions and we know for sure that David Stern will be retired and a commissioner open to expansion and getting a team back to Seattle will be in that nice corner office at 645 Fifth Avenue in New York City.

In saying that, because of the weather and Peyton Manning's choking ability, Seahawks win 13-6 in one of the worst played Super Bowls in history.
