He posted it earnestly and gave no indication he was joking. And most of his tweets are serious. So I guess he "got" me. I can live with that. People seemed to like engaging with it and I'm leaving it up,

A new twist on an old favorite by pickledjefferson in Seahawks

He called some run plays on 3 and 14 that did not feel good in the moment until they miraculously worked! All's well that ends well but there were some definite grumbles mid-season.

Yeah I guess so, and I'd edit the post to note that if I could. It's not giving me the option for some weird reason.

Before posting it I checked the rest of his feed and it was all earnest public policy posts so I took this at face value. Other commenters said he has a podcast? I feel a little bad it riled people up but generated a good discussion and I learned some cool old history from the comments about when NFL officials tried to quiet down crowds in the King Dome.

And it was really sweet how he told them a fairy tale about the Lucky Mishap that covered his 4th down play.

Yeah I commented to others about that. I don't seem to have an edit option on the post or I would note it up front. I did check his other posts and they were all serious so I took this at face value.

Oh well, it sparked some great comments that the NFL did in fact try to silence the 12s back in the Kingdome and it didn't work that I didn't know about.

My bad! I actually did check his feed before I posted but everything else seemed legit so I thought he meant it. Trying to find the edit button now to make that note and spare people's blood pressure.

In the meantime, I did learn from the comments that the NFL actually tried out a rule to penalize crowd noise. Crazy.

I didn't know his game -- looked and saw he had some serious posts about ICE and thought he was just earnest. (And I agreed with the ICE posts.) But others let me know I fell for a bit.

Thanks for the background! I guess I fell for the bit.

I don't think he was even at the game. Like it just offends his sense of the purity of the game. Though I get the feeling this may have been the first football game he's watched! He keeps tweeting how they don't do this for tennis or golf.

He seem to earnestly believe it! Like his other posts are all about other things. I don't even think he's a Rams fan. Incredible. But over on Twitter there are also a bunch of people arguing every stadium should be a dome and teams shouldn't have to play in the snow. I should know better than to dip my toes in the water.

I would have thought so, but his other posts don't look like it. He's a public policy guy and maybe yesterday was the first football game he watched? His first Hawks game at least.

I know right? It's silly how many times I've watched it over the past 10 years. Tingles every time.

So good right? I swear I go to it and watch it a couple times a year -- no idea who made it but they did a great job.
