Friends outside Seattle, please excuse my giddiness; and pardon me if I do something undignified like giggle like a school girl. The Seahawks are in the Super Bowl. Im not rejoicing in the misfortune of your team not being there, but of my team going. You see, being a sports fan in Seattle is like being an asparagus farmer in the Mojave, with no irrigation. Most years are a waste, some show promise early on, but quickly wither. A good football team seems like an embarrassment of riches. How many championships do we have? None in football or baseball, a fact for which some of you cruelly chide us. Three in basketball, two for the Storm and one for the Sonics before an unscrupulous Oklahoman ripped them from our hearts. And before that? Way back to 1917 when the Metropolitans won the Stanley cup. So you see, we dont titter at thee, we titter for we.
