I have been a self described draftnik since about 1981. I have also been heavily invested in free agency. One could say that much of my emotional state during the offseason revolved around Seahawk transactions and draft picks. The weird thing is that this offseason, I am pretty much meh about the whole thing.
I think that every other offseason was spent with aspirations about building the team. How will player A fit with the scheme? Is player B gonna be able to upgrade his position? Will the loss of player C have a profound impact on the chemistry of the team. Since 1981, but really for 38 years my psyche has been invovled in these types of thoughts. Day and night. When I had trouble sleeping I would mentally go through the roster and starting lineups.
This year, I am basking in the profoundness that comes with being Super Bowl Champions! That thought never loses its luster. I am excited for the draft tomorrow, but not like previous years. The prevailing thought in my head in previous years was, will player X be the one to put us over the top. We are at the top. I plan on enjoying them for awhile.
Is anyone else less obsessed? More in the moment? Less living for the promise of the future? This is unchartered territory for me and my mind. I like it! Being a fan of the Champs is way better than I imagined. :0190l:
