"What's wrong with admitting my 1976-78 period in Pittsburgh got me excited about the NFL?" Khosla continued. "I still watch their games doesn't mean I won't unconditionally ALWAYS as owner, want the Seahawks to win and have every edge up, EVERY TIME over every other team!!!!" He emphasized that while he still follows the Steelers, he will always root for Seattle's success against all other teams.
