You're born a male but you have to CHOOSE to be a man" - Herm Edwards

"I mourn the loss of thousands of precious lives, but I will not rejoice in the death of one, not even an enemy.

Hate cannot drive out hate: only love can do that" - Unknown

"They err who think Santa Clause comes down through the chimney; he really enters through the heart." - Mrs. Paul M. Ell

"The truth about a man is in what he does, not what he says." - W. Dale Cramer in "Levi's Will"

I Blame Pete Carroll

"My Boy" won the game for the Seahawks by putting them up 28-27 with 31 seconds to go.

Then the Seattle defense let them ALL down by allowing Matty Ice Ice to get HIS boys in FG range with 13 seconds to go.

That's when Pete Carroll LOST the game for "My Boy" by trying to "ice" the Falcon kicker with a time out - - - kick which was already in the air when the time out whistle blew - - - kick which was NO GOOD and the Hawks would have won.

So - - - I blame Pete Carroll.

That's my decision and I'm stickin' to it.

Mel Kiper, how do you like "My Boy" now?!?!
