The Seahawks lost yesterday because Macklemore played Guitar Hero at halftime

Legion of Gloom

A lot of dumb things happened in football this weekend. Michigan decided it would like Michigan State to continue its recent domination of the intrastate rivalry, so the Wolverines did this — a not very good football play. The Indianapolis Colts unleashed one of the most hilarious plays in NFL history. The ball was probably never supposed to be snapped, but it was, and I hope Santa Claus brings me a clip of this play every year forever.

One of the dumb things took place without teams on the turf, however. Macklemore played Guitar Hero Live at midfield during halftime of the Seahawks game yesterday. The stunt was an Activision promotion of its music game series, and a Seattle promotion of the rapper it continues to love while the rest of the world got annoyed with.

Not coincidentally (probably), the Seahawks lost the game to the Carolina Panthers. When you have a two win, four loss team, I guess it’s those Macklemore Guitar Hero performances that you really have to cling onto.
