Mike Holmgren will wield power over an NFL fiefdom from the turf for the last time (in theory) Sunday when the Seahawks scare the Cardinals into actually playing their starters. In thanks for the many years of almost achieving final victory, his players gathered up the cash to buy Holmgren his favorite toy: a new Harley.

Players were coy about the source of the money and the idea, but Seahawks fans showed concern on local sports talk radio when concussion-prone QB Matt Hasselbeck legitimately couldn't seem to remember how the idea came about. Or where his car keys were. Or why he wasn't wearing pants. Again. (Maybe he was just mimicking Coach.)
