I almost called it

No big secret that I’m not the biggest football fan in the world, but I do enjoy catching games from time to time. The Chiefs got eliminated, so the season is really over for a part-time fan like me. It’s tough to not be a Seattle fan in Vancouver though. And to tell you the complete truth, I’m with Rebecca on this one. We both like the color scheme on their uniforms, and that’s the main reason we dig the Seahawks. Other than that, couldn’t tell you much about the team.

Their playoff game against Dallas was on while she was cooking the other night. Late in the 4th quarter, Dallas was down by one point and setting up for a field goal attempt. Easy three points for the lead with just over a minute left to play in the game. I pretty much said that the season was over for Seattle. A bummer for sure, but just before the snap, I looked over at Rebecca and said, “it would be outstanding if they blocked the kick.” I didn’t expect this.

They played the botched snap over and over again, showing the guy who screwed the pooch, Romo, sitting there with his head down. Yeah, great for Seattle, but I’m surprised that Romo wasn’t crying somewhere in a corner. We both felt so horrible for him. You could just feel his pain.

I know I’m late to the post here, but the replay of that gets me every time. True pain might come next week for Seattle. Chicago’s next up, and the game is in the windy city. Odds are, my brother will say that the Bears will whoop the Seahawks.

  1. Oh dude…admitting before the world that the only reason you like a team is because of its uniform colors?

    Having grown up in the NW…we were force-fed the ‘Hawks in Portland. I grew to love them…actually, I took to them pretty quick when it was Jim Zorn throwing to Steve Largent…those were fun days. On to Dave Krieg and Curt Warner at RB…great teams…but never over the top. Let’s just say I don’t feel sorry for the Cowboys one bit (remember Leon Lett in the Super Bowl??)

    Now…as for the Chiefs. Being the Seahawk fan that I am…I can’t stand the Chiefs. Even when I watch them now (and Seattle is no longer in the AFC), I can’t stand them. But, I don’t hate them as much as the Broncos or the Raiders…so there yas go.

    Go Hawks!

  2. I can’t help that I grew up taking numerous trips to Kansas City to visit family. Being a Chiefs fan is second nature.

    I have to say that college football is way more enthralling to me than professional, and when you say “Go Hawks!”, this is what Go Hawks! means to me.
