Never, ever in my life have I laughed so hard on the internet. Ever. I'm 32; we got internet access when I was in 8th grade. That's what, 19 years?
Every reply has been beyond amazing, but NJSeahawk's absolutely slayed me beyond belief. I am downstairs and woke up my three week old son -- a kid that sleeps through everything at this point. My wife wasn't too impressed.
Well done, gentlemen. Well done.
I wasn't going to play, but why not. I'm an amateur, so here it is.

Hour Before Kickoff - I wake up after my Graveyard shift. My wife says she wants KFC. The nearest KFC is more than 15 minutes away. I load up my 3 year old boy and we bounce -- it's 2:30 PM.
On the drive, a light bulb goes off on my head.
Get home in plenty of time. 15 minutes until kickoff. Get all three of my very young sons in their Seahawks gear. Sit down on the couch and crack open the first Bud Light. Watch Paul Allen raise the flag.
Opening kickoff.
Russell Wilson is stripped by Aldon Smith on the first play of the game.
Defense doing exactly what I knew they would do in holding the Niners to 3. Had some buddies on Facebook talking junk about Wilson.
My response to them:
Kaepernick slicing up our D on the ground with all those rushing yards:
Dixon's TD run.
Wilson scrambling around and finding Baldwin for a 53-yard reception. Note: On this play, I literally said "BOOM!" and scared the living hell out all three of my sons (ages 3, 1, and a month old - they were OK, though).
Hauschka's 32-yard chip shot before the half:
Hiding away in the bathroom at halftime so my wife wouldn't see:
Lynch's TD run to nod things up at 10.
Boldin's TD catch to give the Niners a 17-10 lead.
Baldwin's 69-yard kickoff return.
Haushka's 40-yard FG and sneaking outside out of view of the wife.
Kearse's 35-yard TD grab on 4th and 7:
The 49ers last drive:
Sherman's last stand -- the tip and pick:
and
My thoughts on the 49ers:
Sherman's postgame interview.
But then:
And finally...
...and people's reactions to Sherman and me taking grenades on Facebook:
When it sinks in that the Seahawks are headed to Super Bowl XLVIII...
