What A Game!

What it looks like the morning after.

I realize that not everyone is as enthusiastic as we are about our Seattle football team but we had one barn burner of a game last evening! We were playing that much touted San Fransisco 49’ers who so far had been undefeated, as in they won every game this season. And guess what we beat them in overtime in the last few seconds.

Yea, Monday Night Football is one of the greatest inventions of Western Civilization in my book anyway. A couple of guys would agree with me. And we are the winningist team on MNF, that’s what they said. I don’t have a clue why that is or how that works but we’ll take it right?

And we had lost one or two games so far this year, I forget. A good record anyway. But they are hard to watch. They are extremely nimble in their style and they are at their best late in close games. They always seem to win or lose by a few points. But to watch them is to learn about pose and resilience and just downright failure to panic. It is hard to explain but it is definitely there. That is why we are so fun to watch even though we can give you a heart attack or at least ulcers.

This must be a reflection of the personalities of the coaching staff and of Pete Carroll, the head coach, in particular. My big claim to fame is that I wrote him in on the last Presidential ballot. Still think he is a good choice.

Because of this excitement we get a lot of exposure. Monday Night Football this week and Sunday Night Football next week. Yea, no joke. We make good watching.

But beyond all that for me personally Pete Carroll and the Seahawks are inspirational in a way that helps me in my life. To be nimble and creative are important characteristics to use in playing the cancer game. Keeping your opponent wondering and off balance is a workable strategy.

that’s what I see in it all loves, Felipé.

  1. What an amazing two days for the emerald city supporters winning at the stadium vs Toronto in the soccer final on Sunday for the MLS cup (Seattle Sounders) and then winning on Monday night football down in Santa Clara vs San Francisco in overtime! Mariners are next!
    Stay nimble and creative!
