Not just Seattle & Denver traffic. A friend of mine was doing her shopping Sunday in Marin and said the stores were empty. Combination of Super Bowl (or as Colbert calls it, Superb Owl) and the fact that some weird wet stuff was pouring down from the sky. Something we haven't seen here in a long time.
Just heard on the news that there are 1 Million people at this parade today. I have heard chants, honking horns, vuvuzelas, from my office. Complete nuts. This is how I would expect a Blazer Championship Parade would b. Just amazing.
My brother is there with my 8 year-old nephew. The kid will remember this day for the rest of his life.
This celebration makes me wish the Blazers could win a championship so I could celebrate in Portland. Big Seahawks fan.... but fuck Seattle. I aint no Seattleite. And fuck the Huskies.
I was there and it was a complete blast...I especially like how everyone was there. Didn't matter the background, ethnicity, income, religion, etc. People showed up and everyone having a great time. Sports radio had people calling in from around the country who were flying in just for the parade. Having seen it with the Seahawks, I'll definitely make the drive to PDX when parade day finally comes for the Blazers.
Fucking badwagon bitches. Portland will be so much better. We'll be crying because of all the struggles! I know I will.
Bandwagon? Seahawks fans? I suppose it's true of any team that wins a championship...suddenly everyone is a fan, but I don't think it's any worse with Seahawks fans. As far as struggles go, the Sonics championship was two years after the Blazers, but with MLB, NFL and (for a lot of years) NBA in town, Seattle has had a lot more shots on goal, as far as futility goes.
And now you know the rest of the story.... http://www.king5.com/news/local/49ers-fan-at-Seahawks-victory-parade-now-has-fans-putting-rivalry-aside-244490421.html Cool story
Smart kid. Showing up at the Seahawks parade dressed like that, one would expect to get punched, which would lead to a fat lawsuit. If only Cyler Miles was in the vicinity...
