Well, so this is the billionth step, of the journey of a thousand miles.
I know I don't hardly ever post here no more, life takes you in different directions.
But I'd be dumb and dead not to come back and say a little piece on what we all watched transpire.
How many times did you hear it? Did it stick in your craw? Did you say 'next year', in defiant futility? Did you swallow your pride again and again as your friends laughed?
"The Seahawks will NEVER will a Super Bowl! MuahahaHAAAAhahahaHAhahahahahahaaaaaaaaaaa." At least that's how I remember it sounding.
Remembering. All that remains of that blasted phrase is a memory. No one can say it, ever again. For our Seattle Seahawks have, in unquestionably demonstrative fashion, shoved all those derisive cries down the throats of their utterers.
When I was doing a little better, I held season tickets through most of the Holmgren years. Spent 5-figures on those seats, which resulted in being there when the clock ticked to zero vs. the Panthers. The first Super Bowl berth. A feat unrepeatable and precious that neither gods nor men can erase. It was worth every penny. I'd spend twice as much to do it again.
Now, I have seen this team plow through two of the best teams in the NFC, and easily the best AFC team, to a marvelous, doubt-defying rout of a first Super Bowl win. It was worth every embarrassing loss. Every chunk of swallowed pride. Every unrespondable-admonishment from any fan of any team that had a Ring. Every fiber of fortitude it took to remain a Seahawk fan.
Now we can legitimately talk about...the NEXT ring. I'm swooning a bit just typing that. No longer if...but when.
It was worth it. It was all worth it, wasn't it? Or as our fearless leader says (whom somehow no one is asking to be fired on this forum)
DON'T IT FEEL GREAT?!
