Watch Norbert Caoili's reaction to Seattle's dramatic come-from-behind championship victory.

It was a crazy, emotional game, and one Seahawks fan caught all the drama on video. Not the drama on the field -- the drama on his face.

Seattle superfan Norbert Caoili kept a camera rolling on his blue-and-green painted face the entire time to capture his reactions to the game's dramatic turns. There's no way he could have known how it would all unfold in the last minute, but his ecstatic response is something any faithful sports fan can understand.

John Cho. In a Power Ranger costume. Dancing. Yes.

Also: The 'Selfie' star rides a horse.



Okay, I totally missed this last week... but dammit, it's John Cho in a Power Ranger costume dancing to Crayon Pop's "Bar Bar Bar." Everything about that last sentence is certified awesome. John rocks out Red Ranger-style, plus Selfie co-star Karen Gillan decked out in pink, along with the Green Ranger. Getting down.

People, I am morally obligated to share this, by the powers vested in me as a blogger.
