Becoming a Seahawks Fan

It's that time of the year, Super Bowl time! I must admit that I have no idea about this Super Bowl, I didn't follow either team all year. Being a fantasy football fanatic, I could have took Shawn Alexander with my 3rd overall pick, but instead I took Peyton Manning. Following Manning and the Colts, as many people did, I was sorely disappointed with their lose to some team named the Steelers. If I had taken the Seahawks RB, Shawn Alexander, I would have followed them more, watching my running back score TD after TD.

The problem I see now is this, a 6th seed being favored in the Super Bowl over the #1 seed NFC Seahawks?! How can this be, because the Steelers beat up on everyone to get to the Super Bowl? Carson Palmer doesn't go out of the game and the Steelers still beat the Bengals? The Colts decide to actually block someone and the Steelers still beat the Colts?

This brings us to the Broncos, who I cant stand. I grew up a Chiefs fan and find the Steelers win over the Broncos, normal. Jake the Snake was due for a "blow up" and I would have taken any team over the Broncos at that stage in the playoffs.

The Steelers are on an amazing run, beating a 3 seed, then a 1 seed and then a 2 seed. Can they now again, beat a #1 seed?

Though here in lies my problem, the Seahawks. They scored the most points in the NFL this year, second in total offense (behind my Chiefs). They have an average DEF (17th ranked), the MVP RB in S. Alexander and a QB that is due for success. BUT... they played twice this year, the Rams, Cards and 49ers!
Who? The Rams, Cards and 49ers, who have a combined record of 15-33.

I'm taking the Seahawks +4. I'm really not sure I know who is going to win. I want the Steelers to win, nice story and I don't really like the Seahawks, old AFC rival.

My prediction: Seahawks 24 - Steelers 27.

Super Bowl XL - Jan. 5, 2006.

Good Morning & Good Day

I finally found a place to post random thoughts about absolutely nothing. Thanks again in part to Google for helping me to find Blogger.com I have been a member of Blogger.com and today I found the desire to see what this site is all about. I curious to see who among the faithful, will be first to post a reply. I have my money on a brother or uncle. Time will only tell and if your not looking, not even that well.

Super Bowl Set and Koby turns 81

Steelers keep on bringing on the good luck, the power to win and the dream of a Super Bowl Ring! Panthers left their playing abilities back... well... I'm not sure where they left their skills. They simply forgot to show up. So that leaves us with the Seahawks and Steelers in the Super Bowl. You find anyone to tell you they picked these two teams to be in the Super Bowl, listen well to anything else they may tell you about sports. Sticking to sports, Koby scores 81 points. 81! Second only to W. Chamberlin's 100 points back in 1962. What can you say about sports, it's never what you think it will be and almost always more than you can imagine. Gotta love Sports. Till next time, Don't Eat the Yellow Snow.

Waking to Find It's Friday

I've never had a normal job, I work nights and always Friday's & Saturday's. Though today was different, you see, I'm on vacation. I have the entire month of January off and I have been staying home and connecting with my three and half month old son. My wife is a school teacher and unlike me, has to work the month of January. Monday is a holiday for most people and we are taking the holiday time to go see my parents. So I wake up today with this odd feeling, I knew something was different about today, but I couldn't figure out what it was. Then it hit me (Wham! {minus George Michael}) it's Friday! I have the entire weekend off and I'm not even working! My wife and I will share baby duties this weekend, but so will the grandparents. I mean, talk about your vacation, take your son to the grandparents, hand him off, sit back and watch the Colts destroy the Steelers. I think this could be the first time in years when I actually was excited it was Friday. I
