Congratulations to Peter & the Seattle Seahawks!

[mikeyank]

I watched an amazing NFL playoff game today, where Green Bay seemed to be the sure winner, before Seattle ran some clever plays and had a miraculous finish in overtime. I told Peter it is very hard to repeat and they have one more obstacle in the Super Bowl, apparently a very hot New England team, so it should be a great game.

Way to go Seahawks!

Ole peter will be yankin his willie for a week over that game.....lololololol......

While I am a Packers fan (you know Lombardi, Lambeau, Starr, etc.) I will enthusiastically root for the Seahawks because I could never root for whiny Tom Brady and cheating Bill Belichick. Plus I have my only remaining maternal first cousin living in Kent, WA. Go Seahawks!!!

You are so right Johnny. Besides that all, he knows about cars, can check transmission fluids and gears, but he can also cook a mean batch of enchiladas, beans and rice.

It will be interesting watching the Seahawks checking the Patriot's balls before the same to make sure they are nice and full.

Hey, Peter -

I don't follow the Seahawks, or American football, or Canadian football, much at all. However - I'm glad for you that the Seahawks made their way into the Superbowl. . . and I DID hear about this game, because it was extensively covered on Canadian news. . . as Jon Ryan, a Seahawks punter, managed an ingenious little feint, and threw a touchdown to get some momentum going, for the 'Hawks. http://www.seahawks.com/news/articl...-Packers/1c6dd3a3-22d9-419b-af60-55f18df25d75

From what I understand, this is a pretty rare kind of play in American football, generally, and especially rare in the playoff season. I know that people in Saskatchewan (Jon Ryan's home province) were RAPTUROUS about it. (Saskatchewan is one of Canada's smallest provinces, by population, and formerly one of the poorest - before they discovered lots of oil, and potash. It is flat as a pancake, and formerly the most rural and agricultural province in the nation. It is also home to Canada's most fanatical football fans - fans of the Saskatchewan Roughriders - and so, that touchdown was a cause for national rejoicing.) *I never met anyone I didn't like, from Saskatchewan, but. . . in full disclosure, my best straight friend comes from there, and. . . my Daddy was born there, too ;-)*

As a writer, of course. . . even though I am not really a sports-fan: I can't help but love "come-from-behind" surprises, and "miracle-manoeuvres", like this one. It was a great story, and a really sweet moment.

Thanks Ambi, it was for sure a sports miracle!!! If you've ever seen or heard our Coach, general Mgr or Owner Paul Allen (co-founder of Microsoft) speak they are really true blue sweet men. And they treat every player exactly the same which is why our team seriously does play as a team. Everyones job is important to the team so they play for each other and the Seattle fans (12th man)

That's awesome, Peter, and a pretty unusual phenomenon, in professional sports. (Or in business organizations, generally.)

P.S. Quite randomly, I think you're quite lucky to live in Seattle. (My friends are constantly telling me to move to Vancouver - because that's my kind of climate. I did have a very decent job-offer to move to Victoria a few years back, but declined it. . because I love the ice and snow of the North Pole SO MUCH. *Actually, I love my niece and nephews, and didn't want to be that far away from them.*)

But. . . I'm a Celt, with a pale complexion. I love it when it rains, constantly. (The sun is my enemy ;-)

P.S. Peter ~

I watch Charlie Rose every night, for business reasons. (The interviews give me lots of good speech ideas.) Paul Allen is an interesting man, and I enjoyed his interview on "CR". (If it goes through - here he is, talking mostly about sports.)

"A" XOXOXOXOXO

I'm not surprised at all about him talking about sports. He owns not only the Seattle Seahawks but also the Basketball team Portland Trailblazers. He is also a huge music fan as he built our experience music project (EMP) here in Seattle and has quite a collection of guitars from very famous players notably Jimi Hendrix.

Sorry Peter about the loss, but you have to admit that this was a great game with twists and turns and unfortunately for Seattle fans, heartbreak too, but your team had a great run. I'd sure like my team to appear in back to back Super Bowls too. And of course congratulations to the Patriots and their fans!!! This was a classic game.

 

[stowe1]

Peter, I would be interested to hear from you what the local media had to say about the awful call which lost the game for Seattle. Thanks.

Nothing good about that play everyones saying "why didn't they run it in with Marshawn Lynch" ??? But all in all we're all proud that they got back to the big game, and had a great season... Tough loss though!!!
