And happy wishful thinking on that 19-0 season.
Sheesh–maybe all Patriots fans aren’t that bad, but you sure aren’t representing them well.
That’s what makes the shirt so funny. You don’t have to remind Patriots fans that their team can’t beat Eli.
Nor do you have to remind Seahawks fans that your team beat us.
I don’t think I have. I’m pretty sure that the Seahawks fans know who won the SuperBowl.
Wow, these Seattle fans are sensitive!! They would not survive a second if they lived in Boston, New York, Philly,etc.
In the northeast, you need thick skin to survive.
Does every kid get a trophy in Seattle as well? Do they even keep score, lest we injure their self-esteem??
Is this what happens in a state that legalizes weed??? What a bunch of softies!!!
(just having a bit of fun Seattle-ites, chill out!!)
Speaking of Peyton, looks like he’s decided to come back and chase regular season records throwing ducks for the Broncos*.
- Legacy tainted by cheating the salary cap with under-the-table payments to players.
That’s the point I keep making. Maybe it’s the isolation from any rival city. It’s not like half of New England rooting for NY teams and a big chunk up north rooting for the Canadiens over the Bruins. Maybe it’s the short history of sports, with the only other title winner now playing in Oklahoma. I remember the Mariners won 116 games and lost to the Yankees in the playoffs. Beats me, but if you live on the east coast, you deal with people who celebrate their wins, argue about defeats and treat that as part of being a fan. We have to deal with Philadelphia fans - who weren’t caricatured all that much in Silver Linings Playbook - and of course the J-E-T-S fans, about whom the NYT only a few years ago ran a long article covering the organized sexual harassment tolerated by that team (but not the Giants in the same facility!) at their games. There are, of course, Knicks fans, for whom you can only feel pity but they can still bring up Willis Reed.
The story that comes up every so often about Philly fans is when they booed Santa Claus at an Eagles game!! Tough crowd.
And then there are the Jets fans:

What can you say about the Jets fans?
All I can say is…for the Seattle fans, it will be upper 50’s and lower 60’s this week, not much rain. How’s it looking up there in the Northeast? I guess you’re going to need that thick skin. And a really good coat. And boots. And warm gloves. And a hat. And a four wheel drive if you want to get to work. And a snow shovel. And maybe be stocked up on firewood, in case you lose power.
We don’t need thick skin or any of the above around here. Just an occasional light rain jacket and some sunscreen.
Ah well, so much for the sun. I just got woken up by the steady sound of water dripping from the hole in our roof that we can’t find.
After bragging about your wonderful life in The Great Northwest, did karma just get you @busdriver11?
Visit us in September-October, the foliage will take your breath away. Nothing like autumn in New England–makes the god-awful winter worth it.
I doubt it MADad, I don’t think I can take credit for the rain. I have my (few) abilities, but changing the weather isn’t one of them. And we’ve had this dang hole in our roof for a long time, and nobody can seem to find where the water is coming from. Just don’t want to pay for a new roof yet. But hey, isn’t bragging what this thread is about? Bragging about one’s team, players, abusing the other side? I can’t take credit for the Seahawks losing in the last twenty seconds either. Wasn’t their karma, my karma, or the fact that I wore the wrong color socks. Just bad choices and a good interception.
Hahaha, nice burn! 
Now you’re getting in the spirit. 
Sorry about your roof, though. At least you don’t have to worry about it collapsing.
Hey notrichenough, we might be a bunch of softies, but we come by it honestly. Softened up by the rain, then fried to a crisp when the sun surprises us and comes out.
I guess I’m not worried about the roof collapsing, but I have visions of black mold being spread throughout, and my house sliding off the slope (after a big tree falls on it). At least if your roof collapses, insurance covers the damage, while insurance rarely covers mold, new roofs, and landslide insurance doesn’t exist.
Few things worse than a leak that’s coming in one place and exiting another. Can be incredibly hard to find.
busdriver11, know what you’re going through–we get ice dams at the edge of roofs, and water drips in the house, can’t do anything about it until you get rid of the ice. Normally we get intervals between storms where either temp gets above freezing, or you can get up there and break the ice. Last 2.5 weeks, we’ve had no such interval. Luckily since we live in a log house, we have wooden ceilings without plaster to get damaged.
See, we’re not all that different!! (cue recording of kumbaya)
“See, we’re not all that different!! (cue recording of kumbaya)”
Ah, isn’t that sweet 
Yes, many of us have similar problems. Leaks, broken pipes, health issues, problems with the kids. Debts, bills, in laws, and taxes.
I suppose professional sports is pretty good escapism. You can just push all your problems aside and get excited about the team.
I’ll be climbing up on my roof tonight to shovel part of it off and knock off some ice dams. Good times.
My DW’s cousin had a giant tree fall on their house and almost cut the house in half. Insurance paid to put it all back, it cost north of half a million dollars.
Be careful, notrichenough, don’t be a statistic, climbing up on that roof!
That is a massive loss, wow, thank God for good insurance. Though I suppose I wouldn’t mind if a giant tree fell on my house and took out the master bedroom (while we are out of town). It could use a remodel, badly!
