Do you have a Richard Sherman-sized appetite?
You might want to visit a Houston-area restaurant that debuted its Matt Schaub Special. The burger was unveiled after the Texans quarterback’s ill-advised interception was returned for a game-tying touchdown by Sherman late in the Seahawks overtime win Sunday.
For the Matt Schaub Special, diners will get to “pick six” toppings for their burger and then “pay dearly for it.”
At least that’s a better way to mourn a loss than burning Schaub’s jersey, which some fans did in the parking lot Sunday.

Houston fans might be crabby, but the mood is much better in Seattle.
The Seahawks announced they will add 2,000 to 3,000 seats to CenturyLink Field for next season.
The stadium lists a capacity of 67,000 seats — 21st of 32 NFL teams.
Standing-room areas boost Seattle’s average to 68,212, which ranks 20th in the NFL.
The seats would be added in the upper level of the south end zone, where the 12th Man flag is raised. The Seattle Times reports many details have yet to be worked out.

Norway will never be confused for Las Vegas, but the two places now have one thing in common.
Incoming leaders of Norway’s new government say they will end a 32-year ban on professional boxing in the Scandinavian country when the right-wing coalition takes office next week.
However, pro boxing in Norway will contain restrictions, including a 12-minute maximum fight length and the compulsory use of protective headgear.
The world’s No. 1-rated female boxer, unbeaten Norwegian fighter Cecilia Braekhus, said Thursday she was thrilled by the move.
