I can't believe it but I'm in on Russell Wilson

Let me tell you a little story about myself.  I grew up in Washington but recently moved to New York/New Jersey.  I work at a technology firm where we create universal marketing tools for anyone between ma and pa shops to fortune 500 companies.  When I first created this blog I was able dedicate some time to writing in this blog daily.  Recently I have not been able to do much so I apologize for my lack of dedication.  After watching last nights game from the east coast...what a treat for me, I decided I need to find time to rededicate myself.  You see in April I may have been the most outspoken hater of our 3rd round pick.  That's right, I watched every round of the draft.  I read nearly every article I could find.  As I have a tech job I sat at my desk with headphones on getting more and more annoyed everyday that Brock and Salk had serious man crushes on Wilson.  My man crush was of course Andrew Luck and to a much lesser degree Brock Osweiler. I was not shy in saying exactly who I wanted and what round I wanted them in.  I may not be able to quote myself verbatim at this point but I must have said something like "all I want is for the Seahawks to not draft Russell Wilson."

Okay, I feel terrible about saying that.  It wasn't personal, I always thought he was a great person, I just happen to be old school with my approach to what a qb needs to be.  I like them 6-3 to 6-5 and 225ish.  I think a strong man is a man that can admit when he is wrong.  While this is still preseason so I should set my Koolade cup down for a few more weeks; I have to be up front and clear my guilty conscious. I was wrong.  Pete got another pick right.  I think we found ourselves another gem.  Keep up the great focus, energy and performance. You are a very likable player and honestly I think a budding star that the whole country will fall in love with soon.  Not even ESPN can avoid the Seahawks with Wilson as our starter. 

T.O. Time, It's Only Going to get Better!!!

Sit back and enjoy.  The first part is hard to follow and hear but the 2nd half is AWESOME!!! Click on the picture to see the T.O. vs Golden Tate Prank!

A Decade Long Dream is Answered in Seattle

What is the worst thing about being Sleepless in Seattle?  Well it could be counting the rain drops, it could be tossing and turning over the traffic on I-5, it could be wondering why Starbucks has so much extra caffeine in their regular cup of Joe.  Those would all be likely thoughts for a "normal" person on a Sleepless in Seattle night but as many of my friends have pointed out I'm not "normal" those are not the Sleepless in Seattle thoughts that I have.  My loss of sleep is precipitated and accompanied by thoughts of Terrell Owens a.k.a. T.O.. Does anyone out there have any idea how many days or in this case nights I have spent dreaming about the opportunity to pop some popcorn and see my favorite player suit up in my beloved Seahawk uniform?  I had no reason to ever dream this dream but I couldn't help myself.  There's never been any signs that T.O. would come to the great Pacific Northwest and be part of what I biasly consider the best team in the NFL. I fully understand that I may be part of a rare breed but I am a proud breed who loves me some me quotes.  I love the passion, the effort, the show, the TD's the muscle and power behind every stiff arm #81 gives to his unsuspecting foe.  All of the thoughts, conversations, texts, fantasy football banter and dreams I've had for the past 8 years were answered yesterday. No longer do I have to satisfy my love for T.O. with a draft pick in Fantasy Football. After a full year away from the game, T.O. and the Seahawks have made my real life fantasy come to life.  This dream of mine will come true and play out for 17+ weeks this year and with his skill set I fully expect another year following this one.  Welcome to Seattle my friend. You have found at least one set of open arms. I love me some me for loving you some you!  My popcorn is ready, are you ready for the 12th man? We will cheer you like you have never been cheered before. As if I wasn't already trying to get tickets to the Seahawk vs. 49er game.  The story lines are forming as I type.  T.O. vs Randy Moss.  T.O. puts in a MVP performance against his previous NFC West employer. Pete Carroll one-ups Jim Harbaugh as T.O. flourishes and Randy Moss pouts.  I've never been more excited to be a Seahawk fan!!!
