HOLLYWOOD ENDING

Unless you've been living on the moon, you are certainly aware that The Seattle Seahawks lost in dramatic fashion to the New England Patriots in Super Bowl XLIX. To the Patriots and their fans I offer my sincere congratulations.

The ending to this game was a debacle of immense proportion and, due to the pain involved in talking about it, I will not describe what happened. I would, however, like to offer an alternative ending to this story; one which is easier to bear.

We pick up the game at the New England 1-yard line, Seahawks have the ball, less than a minute to play, second down, two timeouts left. The play is called in from the sidelines. We go to the huddle where Seattle's quarterback Russell Wilson is communicating the play to his teammates.

"Listen up everybody. The coach sent in a pass play, a freakin' pass play!" [Groans from the team]. 

"SCREW 'EM! We're calling the shots on this play."

"Marshawn, can you punch this one in?" Lynch says "Give me a foot of room and I'm in."

"Here's the play." [Russell calls out the play - Marshawn straight ahead over tackle]

And, in this Hollywood ending, the Seattle Seahawks cap off a miraculous finish and beat the New England Patriots 31-28.

The Hollywood Ending.

If it could be. If only it could be.


Readers, enjoy your day.
