“Of course it was you.”
This was my reaction to the Seattle Seahawks’ go-ahead touchdown scored by Doug Baldwin against the Miami Dolphins in the closing minute of Sunday’s unbelievably stiff contest. Doug’s touchdown was a cap on a great game; Here I was with a smug smirk on my face uttering those words.
Normally in situations like this I’m wound up so tight that it’s the screaming that lets me shed the tension. It’s one of those things I’ve gotten used to. I’ve become prepared for my emotional fatigue after six seasons of realizing that Pete Carroll lives for these games.
