It was the first weekend of the new NFL season. And, unexpectedly, the Seattle Seahawks won the Monday night game in a nail-biter. And how do I know this? I was actually watching the end of the game. The only American football I've watched over the entire weekend. But unexpectedly I didn't hear any fireworks going off when the final whistle was blown. What's this, is someone actually abiding by the local fireworks ban now? But wait, what's that I hear 5 minutes later? Yep, there they are. Seattle shouldn't have won - Denver went for and missed a 64 yard field goal even though they had loads of time left - so I'll give the benefit of the doubt that my neighbor wasn't ready with the fireworks. And good to hand the traitor Russell Wilson a loss in his return to Seattle - Seattle's former star quarterback. Despite the win, I'm not expecting to hear many fireworks this season - Seattle are not a good team.
