Seattle Washington isn't all about rain or grunge or old re-runs of Frasier. Seattle also has a formidable football team: the Seattle Seahawks. If don't know what a Seahawk looks like, it's ok. Just know that they're big, fast and almost won the Super Bowl back in 2006.
The Seattle Seahawks are a Western Division team in Seattle, Washington. They joined the NFL as an expansion team in 1976. Their team colors are Pacific Blue, Neon Green and white. They have a pretty Seahawk logo mascot thingy on their helmets.
In 2006, they lost Super Bowl XL to the Pittsburgh Steelers with a score of 21-10. While some people will argue the officiating at the Super Bowl is borderline retarded, nobody can argue that the Seahawks will have to try a bit harder in the future. If you missed the excitement of Super Bowl XL, you can relax. You didn't miss anything. The game sucked. The commercials were OK.
Stars of the Seattle Seahawks include hall of famers Franco Harris, Steve Largent, Carl Eller and Warren Moon. Head coaches of note include Mike McCormack, Chuck Knox and Mike Holmgren. If you ever find yourself reincarnated as a head coach for the Seattle Seahawks, chances are you did something bad in a past life.
Interestingly, the Kingdome (where the Seattle Seahawks play) was named the loudest stadium in NFL. Having obnoxiously loud fans is actually a good thing. Sometimes, it can distract or unnerve the visiting team enough to cause them to make poor judgments or even fumble. As the story goes, there are 11 players on the field and the "12th man" is named after the members of the crowd. In 1984, the Seahawks retired the number12 to honor their fans.
What team would be a team without a mascot? The Seattle Seahawks have a real augur hawk named Taima (as of 2006) that flies out of the tunnel leading the players onto the stadium field. If you never had bird dropping in your beer, you may wish to visit the Kingdome in Washington.
The Seattle Seahawks are a relatively new team, but they have a whole lot of heart. Their fans are extremely dedicated and despite the cold rain, they do a great job at football.
