Seattle Seahawks? Nope…Gig Harbor Cormorants

Posted by Matt Thomson

A friend of mine sent me this picture this morning after reading my last post on the Gig Harbor Bird Watchers Club.  I figured it’d be fun to share the photo and use it as an excuse to write about the Seahawks

For the past week I couldn’t find one national football expert who would give the Seahawks a chance in yesterdays playoff game against the Redskins (from the other Washington).  All of ESPN’s anchors, player experts, and coach analysts, said the Redskins are both more inspired and more talented.  They all said Seattle wasn’t tested enough, their schedule was too weak.

For those of you who didn’t follow, the Seattle Seahawks (from the superior Washington) defeated the Redskins by 3 touchdowns.  May not have been a flawless game, but it was a big win none-the-less.

Now, take a look at the photo below.  Not to be confused with the Seattle Seahawks are the Gig Harbor Cormorants.  One of these birds appears to be walking on water, something many Seahawk fans think Matt Hasselbeck can do.  The Cormorants may not be as vicious as the Seahawks, they may not be as well known, but they’re beautiful birds in a beautiful place.  Maybe a good name for a local Pee-wee football team?

    By the way, Saturday I heard Chris Berman say (On Fox Sports) that he projected the Super Bowl finalists to be Seattle and New England.
