“Sea” Final Round Entities Notes

The Seattle Seahawks, the only current “Sea” team to get that far, will be in a sixth final entity for the city and fourth for their franchise.

They are (1-2) in previous Super Bowl games, losing one each to the teams tied with the most Supe wins (6), the Pittsburgh Steelers in ’05 and their current Supe opponent, the New England Patriots in 2014.

Seattle ripped the Denver Broncos (another Peyton Manning “no show”/poor performance in a/the big game, yet this “aw shucks” phony, is shoved down our collective throats, in commercial after commercial) in the 2013 season, such game.

Now the current champion Oklahoma City Thunder, a not so hot, even poor “choice” especially after another “bargain,” as the great Pat Cooper would say, Drew Dinsick touted a 70 win season for them, the Seattle SuperSonics were (1-1), in a pair of NBA final round encounters, vs the Washington Bullets, losing in ’78 but winning in ’79.

‘El’ baseball Mariners, still the only one of the current 30 big league baseball teams to have never made a World Series/final round, after being 7’d by the Blue Jays, who were in turn 7’d by the 2 time champion Dodgers, lost in all 4 “semis”/ALCS.

The ’95 Cleveland Indians (I will say Indians, not the former Wash D.C. football team nickname and feel justified doing so. Lighter (maybe pun intended) note– “Hail to the Commanders,” a no bargain name also, does not resonate while “Hail to the” offensive name did/does) and 2001 New York Yankees also lost World Series, after LCS’ing the Mariners losing those final rounds in 6 and 7 games respectively.

2000 Yankees 5’d the other league rival, New York Mets, so teams semi’ing the Mariners are (1-3) in final round entities.

Once in “there was more time” hope, I watched the incredible offensive player and one of a trio of great Sonics’ guards (sadly both “D.J.” (Dennis Johnson) and “Monami Gus” (Gus Williams died far too young), Fred Brown, nicknamed “Downtown,” well before Julie, by the way a nice friendly lady when I interviewed her, and pictured above “go off” (i.e. put on an offensive show) in a likely Channel 9 game on a late Sunday afternoon game vs the New York Knicks.

It was something to behold!!
