like trying to swim with an anvil
Those of you that know me, (and many who don't), know I like those San Francisco 49ers. So when Melis and I moved out here to Seattle in October of 2004, I was really excited to have much greater access (i.e. radio, TV coverage, etc.) It's amazing how much the networks, TV-commentators, and the NFL in general, care only for teams on the East Coast and Midwest. For example, you'll hear the weekly profession of unbridled and love to Brett Farve. Is anyone else sick of this? He's just had his worst season ever and everyone is saying, "Wow, what a warrior", "He's the best I've ever seen". HIS RATING THIS SEASON WAS 70.9!! AND HIS CAREER IS 86.0!!! So he's tough and starts a lot of games, big deal, how many rings does he have... ONE!!!!...Gooossssfraaaba... rant over...
Anyway, so until the division in re-alligned, the Niners and the seahawks play each other every year, and Qwest stadium is a really nice place to watch a football game. Props to the good folks of Washington for paying the taxes to build a nice place like that. And last month on December 11th, was the first opportunity. We had a great crowd of 23 family and friends at the game. The Niners didn't quite perform like.... well, they didn't quite perform at all... but considering the black cloud that's been hovering over this franchise since 2003, we're doing good. And we WILL be back. No matter how long the acting-owner dr. john york keeps us down, we WILL be back.
Anyhow, here are some pictures of the game...
