Ok,
Please forgive me 12's for I have sinned. The moment the SB ended I told my wife " it's going to a long while before I'll be sporting any Hawk gear" She looked at me like I was a stranger...Who the hell are you!!!!
The next day my new Earl Thomas SB XLIX jersey arrived, it sat for two days on the kitchen counter, finally I couldn't resist I had to put it on, and from that moment on I've been healed. Sporting Hawk gear every day like normal now. You need to know I watched the Kingdome being built as I drove the viaduct to school everyday. I've seen all the up's and downs. I am not a bandwagon/ fairweather fan. Now when people see me wearing Hawk gear and make a negative comment I tell them "No team can win them all" and any team would be honored just to be able to play in the SB, win or lose. This seems to have a impact on their thinking as I can see it on their face.
Go Hawks.
