Some of you "alumni" might recall back in the day I used to write regular articles called the "Breda Report". I found the urge to write one this morning. Well, at least the beginning of one. I will post the start of the article here and if anyone wants to read the rest I may be compelled to finish it. The article will eventually tie into current day.
I remember the day well.
It was hotter than death valley. It was 2003 and myself and my then wife Cindy and the best dog ever (Bella, God rest her soul) decided to attend the Seahawks training camp in Cheney, Washington. I had the distinct benefit of meeting several players. These were the days before championships. Players were embarrassingly accessible. Better yet, I got to spend the evening with Les "The Radish" Norton and his lovely better half Darlene. His infamous "Kick-a-Poo" juice was the magic elixir required to combat that oppressive heat.
A few years removed from the most repressive decade this franchise has ever known, there was this slight hint of hope on the horizon. Head Coach Mike Holmgren has a firm grip on the team's heading. Star players were beginning to emerge.
For once, hope wasn't this abstract, unattainable concept.
