GO SEAHAWKS

Patty and I were season ticket holders for about 10 years, from 1977 though 1987, all the great Jack Patera - Jim Zorn - Sherman Smith - Steve Largent - Chuck Knox - Dave Kreig - Steve Largent (yes, I know Largent is in there twice, he deserves to be!) - Curt Warner - Pete Gross seasons, they were so much fun, win or lose. Lost interest in the Ken Behring - Tom Flores - Rick Mirer years and pretty much all subsequent years...until this year!

So yeah, GO HAWKS!!!!

Tom, although I'm not a big fan of watching sports on TV, I'll admit that when some sports get towards the playoffs, I tend to start "following" them.....(much to the worry and dismay of my wife).
However, the thought did occur to me that if only those scumbags that steal from us (re: your radome etc.) were sitting somewhere watching sports on TV or actually attending the games, we wouldn't have to lock up all of the goodies that we've worked so hard to obtain.

(P.S.....Go Seahawks!)

(P.S.S....Deb, nice wheels... :wink )
 
I too had season tickets, from the very start till they built the new stadium. I could not afford the same seats in the new stadium so I bought a boat and watch on TV.

You are right Pat, there was something about those early days in the Dome. That place just rocked! Even though the UW invented the wave we perfected it. Oh, you left out two of the GREATS..Jacob Green and of course Kenny Easley.

GO SEAHAWKS!!!!!!!
 
Yeah, Brian Bosworth was the biggest mistake in Seahawk history, well, not counting Ken Behring, Tom Flores and Rick Mirer - Fredd Young (the OTHER "Fred Young," for those of you who are not Seahawk savvy, spelled with two "dd"s) has to take a back seat to (ugh) Brian Bosworth, and ultimately leave the team???? Was that Chuck Knox's idea? Fredd Young was simply THE best athlete on that team at the time...the one guy who always made the play. Read about him here. Thanks for bringing back these memories!!

And if it were not for professional sports there would be that many more thugs, wife beaters and thieves on the streets as the "players" reverted back to their true calling.

I know one of the seahawks, Having taught him a couple lessons. I can't remember his first name, since we go by last names where I train kung fu , but his last name was Bannister and I believe he was on special teams? Don't ask me as I don't watch sports. But he is a really nice guy and is a very hard worker both at training for his career in football and at kung fu which was cross training for him. I'm sure there are some bad ones, ( as in all things) But I'm sure there are some really great guys too.

Ok I admit it's a bit of a blanket statement and not all pro athletes end up on the wrong side of the law. I hear some can even form complete sentences and exit college with more than a third grade education. :wink:

People are people there are good and bad no matter what the profession. Have to admit that I have little or no interest in pro sports/athletes and tend to see only the negative side of their behavior.
Maybe that's what happens when you have the blazers to look upon as an example :crook

I have watched a few blazer games recently and I have to admit, there are some of them that appear to be of a higher caliber than most of those of the last few years. Some reminded me a little of twardzik and larry steele and kermit washington. Their center seems to be a really hard worker and a good guy. Hopefully, portland can finally become known for something other than rogue athletes.
 
Hey Sark, In your profile on the left of your posts I think you mean Kenmore not Kemore?? Unless there is a new annexed town.

Thats okay. For a short time I had North Bind on mine instead of North Bend. To fix it I just moved to Guemes Is. and North Bind disappeared.
 
Thanks,
I never even noticed, which is surprising considering how often I check in here. Must have been in a hurry or something. :D Since I'm not moving I guess I'll change it. :wink:

I hear you on the proffesional sports Steve. I'm a hands on guy myself, rather be out playing , than spending time watching someone else. But I know many who follow sports big time. Like my father and brother in law, seems like any family get together there is always some kind of game on.
I always joke with them during football games and ask what inning it is.

Is that like when an ostrich sticks its head in the sand and the world disappears? :lol:

In 1988 I had surgury on my hands for Carpol Tunnel that made physical therapy a must for the next 9 months. During that 9 months nearly every Monday after a game Steve Largent would show up for therapy on his hands about the time I was leaving. He was always very courteous and just went about his business.

I've also had the chance to interact with Freddy Brown, Bill Russell, and Slick Watts. Of all those I would rather talk with Steve Largent any day. When I was 18 Bill Russell came into the gas station I was working at and had me fill up his Rolls. When I was done he handed me a credit card and then refused to sign the slip as he didn't want to give me his autograph. I couldn't have cared less but he was not going to leave without paying either by signing or paying cash as far as I was concerned(My boss would have taken the cost of the fill up out of my paycheck). Since he was being a jerk I called the cops and they made him sign it! I should have kept the carbon! Unfortunately Bill passed his arrogance off on his kids and they were some of the most mixed up kids I knew growing up.
 
Like I mentioned towards the beginning of this thread, I've not spent much time watching TV sports. So when I was sitting next to and drinking beer in Viet Nam with Don Meredith (Dallas Cowboys and Lipton Tea Commercials), I had no idea who he was other than that he and three other football players were on a goodwill tour to visit the troops. (Can't tell you who the other three were, but I'll always remember the visit with Don). Morale booster to a country boy? Yes!
 
Hey, Country Boy,

We had Jane Fonda's brother wheel through the province on a motorcycle with a press credential once. Nobody was impressed. Don Meredith or Bob Hope would have been much more appreciated.
