Not the Seahawks specifically, unless that was part of the process.. but how did you first get into it?
For me it was 1st grade of elementary school.. there was an older kid, a friend of mine who I kind of idolized. He was 1 year older, which in first grade seems like a lot. Anyway, he and his other friends played touch football everyday at recess and even before school if they got there. So if I wanted to hang around my friend, I had to play. I had no idea what I was doing at first.. even though Id watched it already on TV some with my father..but playground 2 hand touch football had very little in common with what I saw on the tv except the ball and throwing/catching... Anyway, I was terrible..and I even remember cheating once because I was terrible. On offense they wouldnt throw me the ball much because I couldnt catch well yet.. on bad weather days we played in an old covered abandoned hangar ttype building next to the school. And after one play I hid behind a pillar type thing..so when the next play started, I started in the end zone. The QB threw me the ball and I caught the touchdown. The other team immediately called out the cheat, and my team MUST have known, but they ignored it. Didnt feel good ..but the touchdown did.. I was hooked. And still am.
