It's not enough that in many circles the Seattle Seahawks are the team to beat in the NFC. Not enough for Matt Hasselbeck , anyway.

ATLANTA -- There's never much interest in the Hawks here, but on the eve of the NFC title game involving the local 11, you can imagine what it was like. Sort of like what it is in Boston.

The game came down to one play, no time remaining, and the Patriots already had won the contest. There was not a thing at stake . . . except the fact that if the Seahawks punched it into the end zone, they would cover. My thoughts turned immediately to the folks who had a &quot;vested&quot; interest in the game and ...

In the NFL, however, the theory doesn&#39;t always apply, especially when talking about the Philadelphia Eagles&#39; road clash today with the Pittsburgh Steelers (1 pm, Channels 29, 42).

Everyone in Seattle knows about the many story lines surrounding any game between the Seahawks and Green Bay Packers. But with those teams not scheduled to play this season, the big reunion

HDTV sports fans are disappointed that there's a limited menu of Olympic sports that can be seen on high definition and that many of these events are shown 24 hours or later than they are on NBC.

The NFL may not be all about television, but a lot of it is. Start with the NFL Network's presence, which is impossible not to notice here.

Last summer, the Seattle Seahawks were a trendy pick to reach the Super Bowl. As they keep reminding themselves, that goal remains attainable. Yet one day after their second loss to NFC West rival St. Louis, everyone from coach Mike Holmgren down was asking the same question.

(InfoWorld) - On Feb. 5, at about 7 a.m. local time, I'll be watching the Super Bowl. For those of us living in foreign lands where football means a round ball, the NFL doesn't get primetime coverage. Despite growing up as an NFL fan, when I say "football" now to anyone except my mother, I'm talking about soccer. When I watch football on any given weekend, it's the glorious exploits of my beloved Arsenal Football Club I'm enjoying, not those of the New York Giants. During almost 11 years in China, I have slowly seen those vestiges of the U.S. unavailable here in Beijing disappear. The Internet changed the way we live overseas. Letters became e-mails. Amazon.com became the Berlin Airlift to the book-deprived, with CDs and DVDs following soon after. But regular National Football League coverage was one of just two remaining treats that eluded me. That changed on Sept. 13, 2006. On that day, I discovered Ben & Jerry's ice cream at my supermarket, for about $9 per pint. That morning, I watched an NFL game, live via the Internet, in my home. NFL Enterprises embraced the Internet for the 2006-07 season. Previously the NFL did not allow webcasting of its games, except for text and graphic-based commentary such as GameCast. But this year, international fans could buy a GamePass from YahooÂ to view games live and streamed, at either $249.99 for the season, or $24.99 per week. Apple's iTunes Music Store sold season passes for fans to watch their favorite teams, uploading each game after its completion. I took a different route. I downloaded TVUplayer , which seems to be a mass re-broadcast from a Slingbox MediaÂ device in San Jose, California. There was the NFL, complete with American sportscasters and commercials ("This is our country..."). I ignored that it was 8:30 a.m. and made popcorn. I don't understand how TVUplayer is legal, but if they ever become a paid service, they can have my money. ESPN and ABC disappeared midway through the season, so I lost the Sunday and Monday night games that I used to watch on Monday and Tuesday mornings, respectively, but Sunday night remained sleepless as I watched the day games. If living overseas teaches us anything, it's that in the Internet world, content distribution and licensing methods are grossly obsolete. I would have paid to watch the NFL live years ago -- but they wouldn't take my money. Cinema and DVD release dates seem equally ludicrous when you live in a market where they're meaningless. Piracy makes a lot more sense when you realize that the guy down the street can offer you "Casino Royale" on DVD today, but Hollywood thinks you should wait eight months. Next season promises to be even better for football fans here. On Aug. 8 -- exactly one year prior to the opening of the 2008 Olympic Games in Beijing -- China will host to its first-ever NFL exhibition game, with the New England Patriots playing the Seattle Seahawks. But when the regular season begins about three weeks later, it will be first down and 10 on the Internet.

The Seattle Seahawks are considered one of the NFL's biggest disappointment this season. Matt Hasselbeck believes they're headed in the right direction.

NASCAR is a different sport when it comes to TV. There are no &quot;home teams,&quot; just drivers who have their own passionate followings.
