    Shocked the city of Seattle hasn't banned tackle football. This is right up their alley.

    They kind of did years ago

    I remember being shocked when out son entered middle school and I was excited about him playing football like dad except they didn't have football. Had to go to private league which didn't really interest him.

    Big reason why Seattle is basketball town. Also when you go to Rainier Beach the home of 4 NBA players that means something
    Crawford
    Robinson
    Murray
    Christie

    Pretty nice list.

    I figured I was forgetting someone. I bet there's at least one more who got some run.

    I don't know what I'm gonna do with myself if this bill passes. Middle school football is a huge passion of mine. On top that, my favorite team has a bunch of talented elementary school kids on their recruiting radar for the next couple years.

    I work with someone whose husband coaches junior league football in Seattle and they actually do this shit. Coaches fight over getting 7 year olds to join their team.
    Even in the Pee-N-Dubewe, little league football politics are fucking chinsane.

    California, Oregon, and Washington are in a close competition for #1 pussy state in the nation. Right now it's a dead heat for the top spot but if this bill passes that should be enough to nudge Cali into the lead. Well, until Oregon and Washington follow their lead and then come up with something even wimpier.

    This is gay, but not really a big deal. If anything kids are tired of soccer, baseball, bball, whatever by the time high school rolls around and are starving to play football. That's how it was for me and my fellow papermakers anyway, and we fucking ran this state. Look it up

    Johnny Kirton (RIP) dragging me 9 yards downfield every play. Heatherwood Middle School vs Harbour Pointe Middle School 2000.

    get beat up by Snohomish Panthers / Rick Fenney 1979 then pop off! Although, Kirton is tough...
    Except Rick Fenney was younger than that.

    1979 was Scott Anderson.



    Fake news! That's incorrect. I've still got the cleat imprint on my chest to prove it. Snoho won the state title the prior year. Extremely tough venue to play in. They were damn good.

    Also, I forgot Kirton suddenly died (why?)

    Dude. You must have got that in middle school game then. Fenney was a senior in '83. In the '79 football season, Fenney was an 8th grader.

    You did get it right that Snohomish won the state championship in the year prior to '79.

    I don't get it then, since he was born in 1964 and I saw him running up and down the field in 1979 when he would have been a sophomore about 15 years old. Maybe there were two of them. Fuck if I know.

    If he didn't redshirt in college the timeline mostly fits both of your narratives:

    79 football season - HS frosh
    80 football season - HS soph
    81 football season - HS jr
    82 football season - HS sr
    Graduates HS spring of 83

    Played at UW 83-86

    But that means you got beat up by a HS frosh, not a sophomore.

    If he redshirted at UW then he gradued HS in 82 and would have been a sophomore when he kicked your ass.

    Either way, not chinteresting.

    Give it a day or two.

    Surprised those dykes are allowing NHL. Although I think their play is more fucking Chris Hanson, than bringing NHL here.

    Then again, who ever accused a liberal of thinking things through before foaming at the mouth?! They can always play the race/sex/xeno card to cover their repeated failures.

    Fuck Seattle
    Fuck off, bitch. Sorry liberal Seattle is winning super bowls & PAC 12 championships and then popping off.

    Go enjoy your amateur hockey or rec league bowling or whatever bullshit they have in your town. Swing by Applebee's for some that hot bar scene afterwards.
    I live in Seattle you stupid fucking dolt.

    Say hi to Kim on your next trip to the Landing.

    Yeah that is what happened. This is coming back to me. Everybody was saying "he's just a freshman." I vaguely remember that. Even then he was a monster, huge, fast. Usually the freshmen played on a freshman only team then, so it was a rarity. He looked like a college player already.

    You know what's even crazier, Mr.(?) Bleached Anus?

    A mini-van driving soccer mom from The Plateau getting arrested for assaulting a 16-year-old official for missing an obvious foul that caused her 7-year-old to flub a wide-open shot on goal and lose the match.
