on saturday we went up to seattle for what was the end of one football season and the start of another. as most of you know, my sweets plays for the portland shockwave, which is part of the iwfl (a national women's tackle football league). the iwfl season ended a couple weeks ago, right about the time nfl pre-season got started.the seattle majestics invited us up to scrimmage them as part of the pre-game programming at the seahawks/vikings pre-season game. the lady ballers also got to unfurl and wave the 20yd x 15yd flag during the anthem. then we went up to our nosebleed seats to sit behind melissa's bachelorette party and watch the game. (i have to admit, the veil pinned to the "melissa's bachelorette party" trucker hat was cute.) although i had been on the field during halftime at the meadowlands during a week 16 giants vs. cowboys game (to take pictures of a scrimmage when darleen played for the ny sharks), saturday was my first "nfl game" from up in the stands. i expected the players to look smaller than they did from the nosebleeds, but i was pleasantly surprised.
i'm looking forward to this fall. hoping to enjoy LT and the duo of reggie bush/deuce mcallister as much as i did last season. we'll see if brady quinn and jurevicius and a couple other key trades/drafts can help the browns get anything started this year (although one naturally doesn't expect real results for a couple seasons). but funniest nfl news thus far? some guy on ebay is selling michael vick cards that have been chewed by a dog!
