Quick Hits
- The oddest, but neatest, shaped stadium in the league has to be in Seattle....
- Since 1969, the Pittsburgh Steelers have had just 2 head coaches while the Cleveland Browns have had 13.....
- With a win today against Carolina, Seattle head coach Mike Holmgren would become the fifth coach to lead different teams to the Super Bowl....the other four were: Bill Parcells, Dan Reeves, Don Shula, and Dick Vermeil....Holmgren took the Packers to the Super Bowl in 1996 and 1997....
- This week the New York Jets hired Eric Mangini as their head coach....Mangini was 34 years, 11 months, and 29 days old.....he is the 15th youngest head coach ever in the NFL.....the youngest head coach ever was Harland Svare who was 31 years, 11 months old when the Los Angeles Rams hired him in 1962.....
- With a win over Denver, quarterback Ben Roethlisberger will be the second youngest starting quarterback to play in the Super Bowl.....Big Ben will be 23 years, 340 days old on the day of the Super Bowl....Dan Marino was the youngest at 23 years, 127 days when he led the Dolphins to the big game in 1984.....
- Denver owns a 3-2 edge over the Steelers when they meet in the playoffs....
- On a quick political note, has-been performer Harry Belafonte lashed out at the Office of Homeland Security during a speech last night....the 78-year-old Belafonte said "We've come to this dark time in which the new Gestapo of Homeland Security lurks here, where citizens are having their rights suspended.".....first off, just by him making that statement shows his ignorance.....if Homeland Security was like the Gestapo, Belafonte’s old ass would have been dragged to some secret prison camp.....I really believe some of these left-wing entertainers make these ridiculous statements just to make the news.....
