I thought it was uninspired and used as much more of a tool to try to motivate the crowd and players to cheer hard and play hard than it was to honor Sean. George Michael must have referred to the crowd at least five times during his brief "tribute" to Sean, usually also referring to the crowd as the "12th man" and generally telling us to get loud for the game. Even Sean's father Pedro said something along the lines of "Sean loved it when this place was rockin, so lets get it rockin 12th man!" Pedro's words sounded more coached than from the heart. It was nice when CP ran out with the flag when they announced Sean starting for the last time, but other than that I was extremely disappointed at the way the organization handled the ceremony. I could actually go on about this for alot longer. On another note, I was not only handed a burgunday version of the Terrible Towel when I walked in the stadium, but was also referred to constantly as part of the 12th man. Please Danny, Seattle has the 12th man, and copying Pittsburgh's terrible towels after their fans came in and embarrassed us is even more embarrassing. Im out. RIP Sean.
