We all know what we’re getting with the football teams from Denver and Seattle.
On one side, one of history’s great quarterbacks and the high-octane offense he leads. The other side offers a spry young QB and a beastly rushing attack, paired with a defense that’s stout — and knows it, and will tell you.
But the time for football will come.
To get ready for Super Bowl week and its overstuffed slate of manufactured storylines, overly complicated prop bets, sneak peeks of commercials and inevitable controversy — blackout conspiracies! wardrobe malfunctions! OMAHA! OMAHA! — we’re pitting the two contending cities against each other in a contest of subjective cultural comparison.
We’ll know soon enough who wins the game. We want to know now who wins at everything else.
First quarter: Local brews
Seattle is the birthplace of Starbucks, helping to explain the energy levels of the 12th Man. The company that’s been keeping the world caffeinated for decades even calls its standard coffee Pike Place Roast, named for its oldest location at the Pike Place Market.
On the flip side, Denver is home to Molson Coors Brewing Co. and an expansive roster of craft breweries. It’s also home to the Great American Beer Festival, the king of all beer festivals.
As for which is more vital, maybe it’s best we don’t test either fan base by taking away their treasured nectar. This one’s a stalemate. Seahawks 0, Broncos 0.
Second quarter: Music
The number of impactful bands and musicians that can be traced back to Denver are few and far between: Phillip Bailey of Earth, Wind & Fire, Kip Winger, the Lumineers, OneRepublic and a jam band or two. We’ll even toss in John Denver, who spent much of his adult life in Colorado and sang of his love for “Rocky Mountain High.” It’s still not much of a contest.
The music history of Seattle is on a different plane. Just being the birthplace of Jimi Hendrix pretty much ends the discussion, not to mention producing contemporary acts like Macklemore, Band of Horses and Fleet Foxes. And maybe we should mention the groundbreaking movement fronted by Nirvana and Pearl Jam in the ’90s, when “the Seattle sound” was much more than a stadium full of raucous Seahawks fans.

SEATTLE ROCKERS HEAD EAST, HOOKED ON SEAHAWKS
Rock musicians Jerry Cantrell and Duff McKagan toured Europe in the fall, but the Seattle lifers made sure the party was on whenever the Seahawks played.
Duff McKagan, along with fellow Seattle rock star Jerry Cantrell, are off to the Big Apple to hail their favorite team in the Super Bowl.
It was almost 11 a.m. and the party on the tour bus was in full roar. Two veterans of the rock and roll highway held court, traded barbs, and laughed as they passed time between shows on a tour.
Care had been taken to make sure both had exactly what he wanted for the party. The atmosphere on board was festive and loose. But if an outsider stuck his head in the door to see what all the noise was about, he might have been surprised.
Because it wasn’t 11 p.m. but 11 a.m, the usual accoutrements one might associate with rock and roll debauchery were nowhere to be found. This was 2013, not 1993. The party on Alice in Chains guitarist Jerry Cantrell’s tour bus was to celebrate the opening day of the NFL season, which happened to fall in the middle of the Uproar Tour.
Joining Cantrell on his bus was fellow Seattle native, Seahawks fan, and Uproar tour mate Duff McKagan from Walking Papers.
The duo powered through cups of coffee and plates of fresh fruit. Or, at least one of them did.
“Jerry eats like a 15-year-old,” McKagan said. “Oreos and pretzels. That’s the stuff he eats.” McKagan laughed when it was pointed out that had this party taken place in 1993, the scene on the bus would have been different, likely involving more than Oreos and pretzels.
“We would have still been watching the game,” McKagan said, “but I guarantee you we would have been on a three-day run. If you were to walk in on us, you would have left, probably a little frightened. If you had walked in on us this year, you would have said ‘Hey, it’s a football party.’”
McKagan and Cantrell are attending Super Bowl XLVIII together, which is appropriate because they watched so many games this season as their bands crossed America and Europe playing live shows. The NFL Network has a feature on the pair that will air Monday morning.
McKagan remembers watching one Seahawks night game at “three in the morning as our bus drove through England. The signal on the computer kept freezing up because the bus was moving. But that’s part of the adventure.”
The Seahawks have been part of the adventure for McKagan since he was a kid.
“My Gil Dobie Little League football team played a game at halftime of a Hawks game at the Kingdome,” he said. A 12-year-old, he was a defensive end and linebacker on a team that made up for a lack of size with a tough attitude.
“We were small, but we had great coaches who taught us a lot about suffering,” he said. “We’d practice in the summer with no water. You had to earn your water. They taught us how to grab the opponent’s facemask really quick when the ref’s head was turned, and how to sneak in a little sock in the jaw . . . a little uppercut.”
One of McKagan’s teammates at the time was Hugh Millen. It’s possible that during a Gil Dobie league practice in 1976, a 12-year-old Millen was discussing strengths and weaknesses of the 3-4 defense compared to the 4-3 defense, while 12-year-old Duff McKagan was working out the chords to “Welcome to the Jungle” in his head.
Millen would go on to a football scholarship at the University of Washington and 11 years in the NFL, while McKagan made the major leagues of rock with Guns N Roses, where his life went almost off the rails in the early ’90s. During that time, he said the Seahawks often provided him with a small light at the end of a dark tunnel in which he was stuck.
“I knew the Seahawks were playing every Sunday at one,” he said. “It was an anchor. It was something that was real and many times it was the only thing that was real. It may sound goofy or funny, but it was the truth. It mattered that they were there. It didn’t matter if they were good or not. They were MY football team. I’m from Seattle.”
McKagan and Cantrell met in 1989 and have been friends since. They beat the demons of alcohol and drugs that tend to stalk young musicians, and focus much of their attention these days on football. For several years, Cantrell has organized a rock-star fantasy football league.
Members besides McKagan include Cantrell’s AIC band mate Mike Inez, Pearl Jam’s Mike McCready, Scott Ian of Anthrax, guitarist Zakk Wylde and Kid Rock, among others.
The league is set up as a charity fundraiser with all fees going into a pot that is distributed to the winner’s favorite charity. McKagan says he’s in the league mainly for the charity component and views the entire process with bemused indifference.
“It’s just so nerdy,” he said, laughing. “I always want to draft all Seattle guys but I’ve learned that you need guys from other teams. I also learned that on bye weeks you should switch your players. That’ll win you more games.”
The pair was in Detroit in 2006 for Super Bowl XL. It’s a trip best remembered by McKagan for a disturbing revelation at the start of the journey. They met at the airport to fly together. McKagan was there first when he spotted Cantrell walking toward him.
“I see a guy with long hair and the Hawks’ colors and I’m like, ‘Oh, there he is.’ I get closer and he’s wearing Steelers gloves. I thought he was just messing with me. I’m like, ‘Take that crap off,’ and he gets all serious and says ‘There’s this one thing I’ve never been able to tell you. I’m also a Steelers fan.’”
The NFL has done research that concludes most people pick a favorite pro football team before turning 10. Cantrell was born in 1966, before the Seahawks existed. He liked the Steelers. When the Hawks arrived in 1976 he liked them, too, but never saw a reason to abandon his first love. McKagan was unimpressed.
“I’m like, ‘What are you talking about, dude?’ He was torn the whole trip. He said it was the most confusing thing.”
There’s no confusion this time. They will be in MetLife Stadium for the game. McKagan is positive Cantrell is not going to suddenly announce that he’s always liked the Broncos: “This one is pure Hawks.”

| For Duff McKagan, a founding member of Guns N' Roses, devotion to the Seattle Seahawks has been a constant throughout his career. Now that his beloved team is going to the Super Bowl, will he find a way to be there in person? |
When I was 13, I saw Led Zeppelin at the Kingdome in Seattle in 1977. It was the event in my life to which seemingly nothing else would or could ever compare. I mean, how could anything ever come close to seeing Led Zeppelin live, in their prime, when you are a 13-year-old boy?

Ah, but then I went to the NFC Championship Game on Jan. 19. The game of the decade perhaps, or for sure, one of the top three games of my beloved Seattle Seahawks' franchise history. We beat our conference rival, the San Francisco 49ers, in a hotly contested battle. It was messy and scrappy. Young and brash. The crowd there -- The 12th Man -- made that game like a damn rock concert at the Kingdome. I'm not 13 anymore, but going to the Super Bowl will coincide with my 50th birthday, and I do feel like a kid again. I now have an event in last Sunday's game that compares to that Led Zeppelin show I saw way back in the Jimmy Carter era.
Seattle has had a tough run as a professional sports town. Hell, we didn't even have the NFL or MLB until 1976, and our 1979 Seattle Supersonics brought us our one and only championship trophy.
In the 1970s and 1980s, to the rest of the country, Seattle was "that little town up there somewhere." All we had was Boeing then, and even when Microsoft, Starbucks, Amazon and grunge music helped expose this region to the rest of the world, the sports scene here remained virtually nonexistent in national media. I think we like it that way. Seattleitesare different. The 12th Man ethic, I believe, came about because, heck, if no one else was going to pay attention to the Seahawks, the fans themselves would celebrate and support this team all by themselves.
I've known Alice In Chains' Jerry Cantrell since about 1989. We've both had some serious ups and downs in our lives, and our friendship has deepened as we've seen our respective bands go through hell, or far worse, witnessed friends and bandmates perish. A large component of what bonds us is our mutual love of the 'Hawks. I'm not trying to sound funny here, but our football team became a steady constant in some of our most chaotic and dark times. Sports can be a powerful thing.

Jerry and I watched the first game of this season together on a tour bus somewhere in America. Our bands were touring together. He and I making plans to watch the 'Hawks on Sundays became just as important on that tour as the gear getting from gig to gig. We watched a game together on a computer screen traveling through England later that season on another tour our bands did together. We went to that NFC Championship Game together last Sunday, too. We are akin to Trekkies, and the Seattle Seahawks are our "Star Trek."
| |||||
In 2006, Jerry, me and my wife Susan went to the Super Bowl in Detroit (Susan being a Seahawks fan understood that was part and parcel to the two of us being in a loving relationship). The geeked-out excitement I had for that game was quickly extinguished by a lopsided, flag-throwing contest where all the calls went against my beloved team. If you are from Seattle, we all knew what the deal was. We got burned, and Seattle went back to our little corner of the United States, licked our wounds, and home-grew The 12th Man.
And now we have this season. This magical run of 16 games, plus two and counting. We have an undersized quarterback in Russell Wilson, who leads with calm stoicism. Beast Mode with his quiet demeanor and crushing on-field play epitomizes the blue-collar attitude that once dominated Seattle. Richard Sherman is, uh, outspoken, but he backs up his words with his play, game in and game out. His spirit is always on 10, and with Seattle being voted the most literate city just about every year, it makes sense that our man Sherman has a Stanford intellect. He is a master of the fine art of the 'rile.'
Our defense has been scrappy and gnarly as hell. Our receivers get little credit, and that's OK. Doug Baldwin, Jermaine Kearse and Golden Tate made the catches when they counted. These are our guys, and we love them all up here in Seattle.

When you are a fan like me, you don't want to do anything to jinx your team. I didn't dare utter the words "Super Bowl" once this season. I thought if I tried to get tickets to this main event, say, in November or December, it would have been a sure bad omen that would have crashed the Seahawks' hopes of postseason success. Kind of like the Sports Illustrated cover jinx.
But now Jerry and I, our wives and our friends are doing a mad scramble to get tickets to -- yes indeed -- the Super Bowl. We've got a place to stay, and I will look at flights later today, and hell, I know a lot of people in New York, but we don't have tickets yet (paying eight thousand dollars a ticket from Stub Hub, or some such place, is not a doable thing when you are putting two daughters through school...those tickets get swallowed up by corporate buyers anyhow, right?).
I had a connection at the NFL back in '06, and we got excellent seats at face-value. That person is no longer there. So now, we scramble.
"Our football team became a steady constant in some of our most chaotic and dark times."

It's not just myself and Jerry that are big Hawks fans. My whole, huge family is down with our NFL Football team (there are literally over 100 McKagan's, or affiliates, in Seattle alone!). My oldest nephew Dennis came with me last Sunday, too. His mother is my sister, and we lost her a year and a half ago. She was a massive Seahawks freak like us, and Dennis and I have been hanging out and keeping in touch with much more frequency since her passing. Dennis's son (my great-nephew) is an All-American offensive lineman for the University of Washington Huskies. Football has held our family together. Seriously. Dennis, Jerry and our friend Todd all group-hugged and jumped up and down like school girls when that clock ticked to zero against the 49ers.
Of course, this next game will be in New Jersey, and the temps are threatening to be in the single digits. I just went through all of my mountain climbing gear in anticipation for this game. I have my down jacket that is rated for Mount Everest. I've got a cold-weather baklava, long johns, double cold-weather socks, climbing gloves and my Seahawks beanie. Hopefully, I can get my Richard Sherman No. 25 jersey over the top of this insanely puffy coat. To hell with fashion and getting all GQ-like in NYC. I've got a game to go to!
So, that is it. You have my story on where my state of mind is currently and my overt love of my Seattle Seahawks. I will hopefully be at the Superbowl: all bundled up and if all goes right this time, hopping up and down like school girl once again. Go Hawks! Go Hawks! Go Hawks!

Brian BrownFunny how things come full circle, Duff McKagan recalls seeing Zeppelin at the Kingdome back in 1977 in Seattle now he is going to watch his Seahawks in the Super Bowl at the Met O Lands stadium which ironically Guns N' Roses had their iconic video of Paradise City, shot at the old Giants stadium.

The Hawks have always been there for me too. Great article Duff. I hope you get great seats. Go Hawks!
Will Pross · Chief Custodian at Windswept, inc.Good article man. I didn't grow up in Seattle but I moved there when I was 23 (1992) and it felt like home for the reasons you described. Very accurate description of the big game that shall not be named. We got it this year I think. Seahawks baby!
Kincaid Krizek · Hawaii Community CollegeCongrats on your Seahawks Duff. That was a great NFC Championship. I'm still bummed, but you guys deserve it and are worthy of a ring this year. Aloha from Waikoloa
Aaron V Olson · Brew Master Distiller at Padre Brewing and DistilleryDuff don't forget our Seattle Metropolitans brought us our first piece of hardware.... The Stanley Cup in 1917.
Leiha MannI love reading stories like this. Hopefully we'll get another article about Duff's experience at the Super Bowl!
Andy Porter · Top Commenter · Chef at Start Fresh Market -Owner-General Manager Catherine BarashkoffGreat Dude..Great Team..Great City..Great Story.
John GabelDuff, the was an awesome article!! as a fellow Seahawks fan, our "fanship" grew on different roads. You are very fortunate to have grown up in Washington. To experience the long history of the great city of Seattle, and to watch the beginnings of the creation of the Seahawks. I am originally from Wichita, Ks, (Also Boeing country...at the time) but I have been a Seahawks fan since 1978, when I was the age of 8. For some reason or another, I fell in love with the Seahawks along with the State of Washington & the city of Seattle. I had always wondered and envisioned what it would be like to live in Seattle and somehow, be apart of the Seahawks in some small way. In 2001, an opportunity presented itself to move to Washington and I jumped at the chance. The journey only took me 22 years & 3 states to get here, but during those 22 years I remained a true distant Seahawk's fan. Living in Seattle for last 14 years and experiencing the Seahawks live as a season ticket holder through the ups & downs has been an experience words cannot express. My love & passion for the Seahawks & this great city & state only grows stronger each year, for I have truly found a home here with my Seahawks, a place I was destined to be. May you get your SuperBowl tickets & jump up & down like a school girl as I will be doing the same at home. GO SEAHAWKS!!!!!!
David Mackay Ballard · Top Commenter · UConnInteresting read. Should be quite a battle between two very solid teams, but I hope your 'Hawks can leave you with a smile on your face at the end, Duff.
Jonah Perry · Top Commenter · Hudson Valley Community CollegeWell, done Duff. I think you speak for most of us 12's. GO HAWKS!
Cyndi Larsen · Green River Community CollegeHey Duff...we 12's are trying to get the Clink to be opened for the SB, and charge $12.00 per ticket, whatcha think, would you come join us???
Chris Delucca · Rider UniversityGO Hawks! Dude hope to see you in nyc! "we win, we win, we win, Yeah we win"!
Gail Moody · Kelowna, British ColumbiaGo Seahawks!! Great article - hoping you are able to score some tickets!
Jolly Roger · Professional Beer Taste Tester at Margaritaville, Key Westwell at least he isn't a Patriots fan :D
Cory Cabana · Top Commenter · Works at PhotographerWow, nice to see this side of Duff, I never knew how huge the Seahawks are in his life or Jerry's and just like mine. My family returned from VA (Military family) in Aug. 1977 and from the 1st moment the Seattle Seahawks began they were my team and have watched every game except for the few when I was in Germany with the Army, but I don't miss a game. For the last 3 years I have been to every game, 2 years working, 1 year season ticket. Last year the stadium started to build it's energy and this year the team and the 12th Man exploded. The volume of sound in the south end zone is beyond comparison, I got my voice back yesterday but the ringing is lingering a bit. I think we fed the team during the NFC Championship game enough to carry them through. They will do what they do every week. Go Hawks. #GoHawks
Rick Schuhmann · SUNY Old WestburyI too saw Zep on that tour in '77 (my first concert) at Madison Square Garden....Awe inspiring. Life long Jets fan, (and musician as well) so I can also relate with the long time suffering emotions. I totally agree with how important sports can be, and what it means to many of us. I'll be rooting for that other green team in the Super Bowl as well. Good Luck Duff, enjoy the game and the grand spectacle that is the Super Bowl.
Michael Duerre · Top CommenterAlways been a fan, Duff. After this piece, I'm an even bigger fan! From an Eastern Washington Seahawks/G n' R/AIC fanatic. Hope you and Cantrell are able to make the game. Represent us well!
KC Wennogle · Works at Stryker CorporationWell duff, that was well written. I'm a huge GNR fan. I was hopping up and down like a school girl at my beloved mile high last week. Go broncs. Still got mad respect for duff (his bass on paradise city at the end is $$$)...and I respect Seattle. Both teams have awesome fanbases.
Joy Edwards · Top CommenterGnR was my favorite band in high school. Seahawks are my team since I was a kid. This is awesome!! The best offense in the league is very good. I just hope our D can prove to be better!!!! From a grateful fan of both, love you Duff and Seahawks!
GO HAWKS!!!
Jonathan R Looney · University of North TexasGreat read, Duff! I saw Robert Plant at Whole Foods in Austin last year, perusing the floral department, naturally....that's as close as I've got to Zep'77! Ha. Congrats to your team. Looking forward to a great SBXLV3!!

Alejandro Chacón · Chief Engineer at Notion RecordsGood luck, Duff! Congrats to your team making the big one!
Justin Crittle · Head Chef of the eternal BBQ at In the lower bowels of hellvery very cool mr mckagan
John Meierdierks · Top Commenter · Full Sail UniversityHad the Niners won, it wouldn't have been anywhere near the top of the list for our franchise's accomplishments. I feel bad for Seattle fans, having had to endure such a terrible franchise for 37 years. At least this guy was a fan from the oldschool, unlike the Seahawks' insta-fans and Shermanites that have popped up over the past year. Glad he gets to see his team in the big game, but I am doubtful about his storybook ending.
