The rivalry between the San Francisco 49ers and Seattle Seahawks is about to include a billboard. Fans of the 49ers have raised more than $8,000 to purchase a billboard in Seattle aimed at taunting residents with images of the five Super Bowl trophies the 49ers have won as a franchise. With the project expected to cost $7,000, the remaining money will be contributed to Seattle's Children's Hospital, according to project manager Aasheesh Shravah. The group's website said as of Tuesday afternoon that $8,379 has been raised. The proposed billboard features an image of "The Catch," Dwight Clark's legendary game-winning grab in the 1982 NFC Championship game against the Dallas Cowboys, hidden behind the five Lombardi Trophies the Niners have won.

I'm generally not a fan of poking the bear...but I do like seeing Seahawks fans upset by the sentiment.
