NFL

Big day tomorrow; us old Seahawks fans are enjoying the ride, with Russell Wilson leading the new gang of 12. We've been watching, following, and not getting enough to cheer about since the late 70's and early 80's. Our kids grew while this was going on and now I share the experience with Casey.

We've been through a pack of All-Stars on the Seahawks: Steve Largent, Jim Zorn, Dave Krieg, Kenny Easley, Curt Warner, Brian Blades, Cortez Kennedy, Joey Galloway, Warren Moon, Walter Jones, Shaun Alexander, Matt Hasselbeck, and now Marshawn Lynch. 

We rode their backs through 33 seasons and we want back in the big game. (we were in it in 2005 - remember?)

During those same years we have seen a few of the NFL's super-athlete, multi-millionaires turn into very bad humans. There are lists of the NFL All-Felon Team, but except for the few names to follow, I won't dishonor those named above by making them share my thoughts with these guys. Who can forget: OJ Simpson, Lawrence Phillips, Rae Carruth, Ray Lewis, and Pac-Man Jones.

So 13 years after the implosion of the Kingdome, the then 24 year old former home of the 12th man, we will be watching and hoping for just the right amount of points, hits, breaks, special teams plays and take-aways to get us to the big one again. On any given Sunday .....
