DSPN Presents: The Fall Mockery

[LMNO]

I remember that feeling, back in 2002. Haven't felt that for quite a while, come to think of it.

Brady's morphing into Bledsoe.

[Cardinal Pizza Deliverance.]

I was at work for the first three-fourths of the game, in an empty store. Every so often I'd hear someone burst into tears or start screaming in the parking lot, as they fled the two other restaurants in my complex that had big-screens blasting the game. One guy beat up his car. Two little boys came in to use the bathroom while their father had a good cry in the Dodge Ram.

For the last quarter of the game I was at home, but I don't have a TV so I just watched the internet blow up while I knit.

I have to say, this was probably the most entertaining game I've ever seen and I didn't even watch it.

GO SEAHAWKS! And good on you for giving the Broncos some pity-points. Good sportsmanship and all that.

I heard from friends in Seattle who took their kids to the game that it was CRAYZAY downtown. Like the whole thing was a party. They said that their daughter kissed an entire row of cops.

I'm thinking of going to the victory parade tomorrow since I have the day off.

Awww. I'm pretty sure all Seattle is going to be partying for days. Isn't this the first time the Seahawks have won the Super Bowl?

[East Coast Hustle]

Yup. And they've existed since 1976.

Also, it's Seattle's first professional sports championship in any league since 1979, and that was the Sonics who were stolen and moved to goddamned Oklahoma City no longer exist.

That's funny, I was going to say something a while ago about how there are no sports team rivalries between Portland and Seattle (pertaining to Seattle's weird Portland insecurity) but then I was like oh wait, no, maybe the Trailblazers and the SuperSonics? But I hadn't heard anything about the SuperSonics lately.

[East Coast Hustle]

Actually though, Sounders/Timbers is one of the fiercest rivalries in pro sports. And whatever the rest of the country may think about including MLS as a major pro sport, the Sounders routinely draw 60,000 plus fans to home games. That's more than many (if not most) EPL or Bundesliga teams, so that makes them one of the most highly attended teams in the most popular sport in the world and the intensity of the rivalry lives up to that lofty stage.

[East Coast Hustle]

Bump, because 43 to 8.

Is Timbers one of our teams? What do they play?

[East Coast Hustle]

Soccer. They are your other major pro sports team besides the Blazers.

Ahhhhh.

We had a baseball team for a while but my accountant informs me that they don't exist any longer. Shame.

[Mesozoic Mister Nigel]

Isn't there also a hockey team?

[East Coast Hustle]

There is a hockey team, but they (like the baseball team that now resides in some fuckhole like Fresno or something) are a minor league team.

And oddly, in spite of how big Portland is, the hockey team is in a very low-level minor league. They play in the same league as teams from Moose Jaw and Medicine Hat and Kamloops. Oh, and Everett. It's all 16-20 year old kids. Which, IMO, makes for a more fun game to watch. The players are hungry and the game is faster and more open than the typical check-and-grab-and-repeat NHL game.
