Seattle Seahawks: Time For Apologies Is Over
Bob Donnan-USA TODAY Sports
The explanations have been stated. There are people still fixated on, let’s face it, a horrible call. 18-inches away from being back-to-back champs. Ugh!
Imagine if you played in the game.
See, no matter how much we hate the call, chances are you’re not a player or coach still doing some MMA with the sandman. In other words: Let go of the negative!
A couple of years ago the city of Spokane, along with Eastern Washington was “devastated” when #1 ranked Gonzaga lost in the Round of 32 in the NCAA Tournament. Wichita State destroyed our Bulldogs. Gonzaga proved that they were overrated and not ready for prime time.
This Seattle team is not in the same boat 12s. Not even near the dock. And we. Us. We are 12s! We are Seahawks fans win or lose. World Champs or a team worse than the 49ers (haven’t seen that yet), we love our Hawks! We don’t back down. Pete’s still the best. Russell’s still our guy. Plus he’s a fan of 50 Shades, so…..you know, there’s that.

For now, put all the negativity in the garbage can in your head. Look, the next Garry Gilliam, Jr. is hiding in this draft. Maybe another Wilson or Baldwin. Be positive 12s!
Besides, no other championship will match Super Bowl 50 in the Pants. AKA Levi Stadium. In the 49ers backyard!

I want to wish Ken Norton, Jr good luck with a position he’s absolutely earned. Fierce competitor, just as his father was. I still see him punching the fg post like his dad punched the competition. Ken Norton, Sr was a massive man. Former Heavyweight champ. Ask Ali what getting clocked by Norton felt like.
