Something for those Seahawks fans

Seahawks win a playoff game...finally!

The Seattle Seahawks have not been a winning team these recent years. In fact, they hadn't won a playoff game since Dec. 22, 1984. That's 21 long losing years, but Hawks fans are die hards. They fill Pioneer Square with their painted blue and green faces, their Seahawks jerseys and flags. And today their long years of loyalty was rewarded with a a playoff win.

It was looking grim for Seahawks fans when their favorite player Shaun Alexander, who won the NFL Most Valuable Player title this year (and has a jammin' song written for him here)was taken out of the game in the first quarter after suffering a concussion. But Matt Hasselbeck threw for 1 touchdown and ran for another and the Seattle Seahawks won 20-10 over the Washington Redskins. Hey, isn't that a politically incorrect team name. And Seattle let them in? Shocking.
