I Have to Brag...

Eimi · January 25, 2006, 08:44:57 PM

I'm sorry. I have to do this. When I was a child my mother every Sunday used to sit in front of the TV set and watch Football. And it bugged the heck out of me because I wanted to watch cartoons and football just got in the way. Finally one day I walked into the living room and complained because I was sooooo bored and when could I watch MY stuff? Mom said "Well, honey, if you're so bored, why don't you watch football with me?" I thought, ok, since there's nothing else to do. So I sat down and watched. My Mom explained the rules to me, and told me stories about all the great players on the TV - Dave Kreig, Jim Zorn, Steve Largent, J.L. Williams, Curt Warner, Steve Reible, Grandpa Nash, Chuck Knox... and I was born again a Seahawks fan that day way back in 1984. And every Sunday after that, Mom and I would sit in front of the TV together, while my Dad and brothers (who can't get football at all) marched back and forth and grumbled about being bored, and the women in the house cheered on their admittedly pathetic, but MUCH loved team. And so I just have to say, in honor of my Blue Tribe...

MY SEATTLE SEAHAWKS ARE GOING TO THE SUPER BOWL BABY!!!!!!!! 8)

My vote goes for Hell has frozen over, but I am more partial to Canadian Football. 3 downs= way more exciting. Hey, we don't even need commentators to enjoy watching the good ol' CFL. Don't know if there are any other football loving Canadians out there to side with me. Yvonne is Canadian though:) I think....

I don't know american football, I don't understand it.

So, I vote for: who heck cares?

:roll:

Eimi · January 25, 2006, 10:30:12 PM

Pssssst... Paula... "Who the heck cares" falls under the category of "I have to say the Seahawks or Eimi might use her evil plottings against me..." :twisted:

And I've watched Candian football on the Candian channel, Michelle! Not bad. Some of your good players came down into the NFL, like Doug Flutie. I think he played in Canda. And actually, the wrestler The Rock played up in Calgary if I'm not mistaken... He was actually a very good football player when he was in college in Miami from what I hear. (Don't ASK me why I know that....)

Lotsa good guys played for calgary... come to think of it flutie was one of em. unfortunetly we loose all of our good guys to the states cause it pays more. I woder if boericther (or however its spelled) plays for KC still. People in Calgary still talk about what a good reciever he was.

I'm with Paula - they don't play proper football in the USA - no Eimi, you will not win that one. Bring on Germany 2006!

Eimi · January 26, 2006, 12:02:18 AM

Well, Emma, I seem to remember that the US team went just as far as England's team in the last World cup... 8)

Bree · January 26, 2006, 04:13:34 AM

Eimi · January 26, 2006, 06:09:34 AM

Bree · January 26, 2006, 06:46:22 AM

Yup, he still plays for the Chiefs. Go KC!

And I hope that Seattle wins, but I honestly don't think they will. Good Luck though!

OOO thats great. He was a huge reason why we won our last championship in Calgary (and then things started to go downhill from there....)

The Rock is my cousin.

His 2nd cousin is married to my cousin. They have an adorable little girl that I got to see last Christmas.

Hey Becki... you should ask him if he wants to run for governer! See, I've been traveling around the country getting Actor/Wrestlers elected in my wake... I need someone for Alabama having taken care of Minnesota & California already...

I still have my "My Governer Can Beat Up Your Governer" t-shirt! That's right! Minnesota did it FIRST! :D

Eimi · January 26, 2006, 06:18:35 PM

They might have done it first, Bree, but I think California can safely say that their governer could beat up your governer. Of course, that's about all he's good for...

Becki - that's cool. I'm not related to anyone famous, living or dead. Unless you go back to like Adam and Eve or something! We're a nobody family

Well, except me of course 8)
