It could be hailed the greatest game ever played, but it would always be the
worst to me.
Good to hear I'm not alone, but I can one-up you guys... I started freaking out over some miscues in the second half and couldn't take it anymore. I stormed out and went for a walk to calm down, knowing I had the game safely recording on my trusty DVR. When I returned, in what I felt was enough time for the game to conclude, I could see on my tv through the window on my front door that the wrong color confetti was falling... I bolted straight for the remote and deleted the game and all the pre-game and anything I had recorded for the run-up to the game. So... I
never even saw the 4th quarter. I never had the pain of that last play or how it even got to that play seared into my brain to haunt me forever. Couple that with the alcohol affecting my memory and only seeing the first 3 quarters once, that whole day is like a black hole that never even existed. That's how much that 2 seconds of gameplay altered my destiny (not like I own the rights to that!). It went from watching everything I had recorded over and over and over again 'till the end of time, not to mention all the newspapers and magazines and Blu-Ray's and swag that never got bought.... to just another Sunday way back when that I don't even really remember.
That is what I am in deep mourning over... The loss of all the joy and tears (the
good kind!), the loss of the rarest of rare repeat Championships that would have etched the Seahawks into NFL history and opened the
opportunity for the first ever three-peat (in of all places, Levi stadium!). It also pretty much rendered the miracle comeback in the NFCCG moot. Well, maybe not moot, but ruined what appeared to be our destiny, whatever that means... Damn, now I'm bummed again. But at least I got it off my chest and it helps knowing that most Seahawks fans appear to feel exactly like I do.
But anyhoo, now we got Jimmy and the rest of the league is scared to death of us! I know, I read their forums! And if we can go to and
win SB50, going to three straight SB's and coming out 2-1 would be pretty frickin' impressive! So I have pretty much put it behind me, and I'm getting really excited about the upcoming season! Gonna be a good'n!
GO SEAHAWKS!!!
