Pete Carroll's Way (Blood, Sweat and Tears)
An Ode To The Coach
Announcers... check
Back-ups... check
Coin Toss... check
Down Made... questionable
Everything fits into place
Fans cheering voices boom throughout the stadium
Groaning at the refs calls
Hoping the flag isn't against us
Identical uniforms... check
Jarring defense... check
Kickoff... check
Linebacker... questionable
Managing a group of rowdy guys
Noticing the hope on their faces
Opening up doors to victories
Proving you are worth more than they thought you were
Quarterback... check
Runningback... check
Stadium... check
Touchdown... check!
Undivided we find strength
Visualizing the Superbowl trophy in hand
Withstanding the injuries of the season
X-ray's showing some broken bones
Your support... as a fan is the difference for the players
Zone coverage is the players difference to the fan

Getting Serious About Comedy (Part I)
If I were asked to remark on my life and the childhood that paved some road leading me to this point, I would have to say something about all the funny people who surrounded me for the last 26,872 days (and counting).
