NFL

          "Of the eight teams in the playoffs, three have rookie quarterbacks--that never happens!"  thus saith my 18yr old twin grandsons. These are the tidbits offered me that I can repeat in some appropriate setting and make people think I really know the game.  I recycle quotes purposefullly.
           I liked football even before I was watching my grandsons and their killer instincts on the highschool gridiron.  I liked it when my own son, Greg played.  I loved the Seahawks the minute we moved to Seattle mainly because our friend, Mack Strong played for them, but I'd have loved them anyway--regional loyalty, and all.  I love that we (the Seahawks) trounced the Washington Redskins today on their own turf.
          I knew I was getting old when I watched 6ft 4in, 280 pounders and thought they were cute boys.  After all, these days even the pros are younger than any of my children and just barely older than most of my grandchildren.  I knew I was a REAL fan when a receiver would fumble the ball and I stopped saying, "Oh, bless his heart!"  And I started saying, "You Idiot!  My grandmother could have caught that ball!"
          Can't wait for the Superbowl!
