I am rooting all the way for the Sea Hawks SC and Sister Pat also blesses.
I resent Rush Limbaugh saying that there is no bird as a Sea Hawk, and it’s not an osprey.
Well just yes it is Rush I snark. Rush needs to stick to Florida fish.
Thank you, Sister Pat, for rooting for and blessing my guys!
I like Rush, but have quit listening to him (got tired of him continously plugging Apple products on his show — -that’s not why I was tuning him to hear him, and let him know that once, though he probably never read my email). I do read the transcripts almost daily.
He (or his staff) needs to do more research - -as you and I discussed last week, we KNOW that a Seahawk is an actual bird.
From the official Seattle Seahawks website under FAQs:
The name Seahawks
Q:How did the team get the name Seahawks?
A: In June of 1975 a contest was held to name the team. After receiving more than 20,000 entries the name Seahawks was chosen.
Q: What is a Seahawk?
A: Seahawk is another name for an osprey. Ospreys are birds that live on rivers and sea coasts all over the world. They have a wing span of 4 to 6 feet, and body length of 22” to 25”. Seahawks soar over the water to hunt for fish, and unlike eagles, ospreys often dive completely under water, using powerful talons to grab their prey.
BTW, those of you that are rooting for the Hawks today, here’s a video and song a local church did. I don’t like rap much, but I did kinda like the original song for this (my nephew played it a lot and I got used to it) and, of course, like the lyrics to this one ;-)
For those of you that aren’t familiar with Seattle, you’ll see the Sounders train (light rail), Westlake Center (downtown Seattle), the monorail (goes between Westlake Center and the Seattle Center, which was home to the World’s Fair), the Space Needle, International Fountain, and a few other sites at the Seattle Center. I think they did a pretty good job. Let the Skittles flow today!
