Congrats to the Stillers of Peetsburgh on their lackluster win over the horribly-coached Seattle Seahawks in SB 40. Not a game to show to the young ones if you want to make them football fans.
What I am thankful for, though, is how games like this truly bring my old community of friends from school in AZ together, if only because there are several buddies of mine from Seattle and talkin the smack is what it's all about.
So while the game was, for the most part, no good, the e-mail conversation which has taken place since Monday afternoon now stands at a total of 73 different messages sent back and forth, basically each finding a new way to ridicule one or all of the previous sender's preferred sports franchises.
Some highlights:
If it weren't for the infamous "tuck rule" incident of the 2002 playoffs, Drew Bledsoe would STILL be the starting QB of the New England Patriots; consequently, Tom Brady would be out of football, but appearing as a frequent guest star as Chad Michael Murray's alcoholic older brother on the WB's One Tree Hill.
Seattle fans, take heart: your team has won both the WNBA finals and USL soccer league finals this past year. Seattle = Title Town!
Such a revelation led to the discovery that the DC United, an MSL soccer team (yes, somehow we support multiple porfessional soccer leagues in the U.S....) selected, with their first round pick in this year's much anticipated soccer draft, one Marvell Wynne II, son of the formr MLB not-so-great. I wish I were named Marvell Wynne, so I could name my son same, too. Some guys have all the luck.
In closing, thank you, Seattle Seahawks for losing. Without you, we'd have no one to pick on, and my last few afternoons would have been considerably less funny and entertaining.
