Hmm, it's probably political, sounds like a great excuse to revive another Pat Paulsen for President campaign!
1970's Paulsen: "Did you know that more Americans have been killed by handguns than in all our wars combined? Therefore, if elected, I promise to send every American to war, where at least he'll have a fighting chance!"
Maybe now it's...
2020's Paulsen: "I promise to give every Seahawks fan one pass play as a practice squad quarterback, so you can get hammered for free!"
Uncle Rico: "I'm totally voting for Pat Paulsen! Put me in, coach, we'll win state!"
Seahawks Medics: "Next!"
IIRC, Paulsen is even from Washington state.
