Glad to see a Hawks fan living in Spokane who understands what I am talking about.
Hell, I work with a guy who grew up in Cali a Raiders fan, and now is a Hawks fan.......sickening.
Yes, I am an Eagles fan on a Seahawks board, as I stated I came here to get the fans opinion on the issue. As I have stated several times after reading your responses I appear to be in the small minority on this issue. Did not come to turn it into anything other than what it is, the opinion of...
