    I don’t think anyone at that game could have predicted what this Blazers season would be like, let alone that the world would be shut down by a pandemic a year later.

    Hello darkness, my old friend
    Did we ever decide on a name for that?

    The Long Kiss Goodbye?

    Yeah, I guess we should leave it as an artifact for future (maybe alien?) societies to discover from the ruins of our world.

    Calling @e_blazer an alien is a personal insult.

    There's simply nothing better than being a human.

    Down on the aliens, hunh? I suppose you’re a closet border wall supporter? Wouldn’t have thought it possible.

    Hello darkness, my old friend
    We can't encircle the Earth with a wall, yet. And even a wall wouldn't protect us from a small object launched by an advanced civilization at 99% the speed of light into our sun, causing enormous coronal discharge, degraded orbits for the inner planets and, ultimately, the destruction of the Earth.

    So what's the point? You damn alien.

    You poor fools haven't even figured out yet that Trump is an alien mole that we planted here years ago. That crazy hair needed to hide the third eye should be a dead give away, but nope. There he is day after day telling you all what a fine job he's doing with our bio-engineered virus. Just wait until the second wave.

    Being at that game in person, It was the furthest thing from my mind. The injuries, the underperforming. All of it.

    I lost my voice. It'll be something I'll never forget. I saw the wave in real time... Unreal.

    ha, I was so distraught in that 4th quarter I went, wife got pissed (rightfully so) and I went for a drive called a close friend who lives in the bay area. He had the game on and he kept asking me " do you want to know what's happening in the game?" I repeated no no no. Finally he had to just say, "I think something big happened and portland won". I say no fucking way. I got home and was stunned that I missed, because of a shitty attitude, one of the greatest moments in blazer's history.

    So yeah I missed the Shot.

    Oddly enough, I didn't. I was too busy jumping up and down and starting to high five everyone around me. It was only on the replays on the big screen that I saw the savage wave.
