Um, “congratulations”?

Um, “congratulations”?

The Seahawks just destroyed “the greatest offense of all time.” Complete, praeternatural destruction. Of the “greatest quarterback of all time.” This isn’t “congratulations.” This is the Death Star vs. Alderaan. This is LBJ vs. Goldwater. This is Bob Beamon in the ’68 Olympics. This is Secretariat in the Belmont.

Jesus. “Congratulations.”

So comparisons to LBJ, Secretariat, etc. aren't accurate.
