My Tribute to Seahawks Anonymous

 This album cover is a form of symbolism.  This is the only photo I could find of the Seahawk Blogger, he stood in for Billy Joel for this photo shoot. Notice custom black "Members Only" jacket, a trend he continues to this day! Although I never owned this album, nor even ever thought about it much, Seahawk blogger has it on video, cd, dvd and a poster in the den. And on the adjacent wall? Yep, you guessed it. Billy Squier live concert shot. He often ponders Bon Jovi lyrics. Plays Journey albums backward looking for hidden verse. Last but not least, likes Van Halen with the guy from Extreme over Van Hagar and David Lee Roth, sheesh!! Its all a neat little dream for the Seahawks, wrapped up in a little bow.

  This isn't about me and the Chargers I root for. Its about the Seahawks. Yes, the odds are stacked against my team to get in, but I believe to the bitter end. Homer, 100%. I'm not being spiteful when I say...prove it Seahawks. With home field advantage I totally can see the Seahawks getting to the bowl as AFC fodder. But I have seen the dark, doubting side of the Seahawk playoff experience. A few key mistakes and swagger turns to ballerina slippers. I attended the 2000 playoff game in person. Hopes dashed on that day, also against the Packers a few yrs later. The famous last words of Hasselbeck after the OT coin toss against the Pack. "Were Going To Win!" dashed in a streak of Al Harris braids! I actually don't dislike the Seahawks. But the blogging rep is about as likeable as athlete's foot. I really do hope the Seahawks go far and play elite. I'm all about peaking come playoff time, and that would be the Pats right now. If the Chargers somehow get in, we will be the most feared lesser seeded team for anyone to play. Bar none.

  In the end, its all just a game. One we all seem passionate about. I'll feel bad if we don't get in, but I know we are top contenders for years to come. But this is far from a resignation speech. Just a reality check. So gather up your beak heads, smoked salmon, Rheinlander Beer, and acid washed jeans and lets tailgate!

  Like the most irritating keyboard riff from the single off this particular Billy Joel album I satarize, The "Pressure" is on Seattle. Good luck in the playoffs.  I mean it.  And no, Seahawk Blogger, that night in high school you passed out on Meister Brau beer bongers with the latest effort by Stryper blaring in your headphones, that wasn't Jesus. BOLT FAN WHATEVER THE RECORD IS YR IN, YR OUT>>>GO CHARGERS!!!
