The Seahawks or Super Bowl Champions Seattle Seahawks (SuperHawks) It took only thirty-eight years but we finally made it. The Seattle Seahawks have ended their drought and have won their first ever Super Bowl Championship in franchise history. The Seahawks began their inception to the NFL in 1976. The Seahawks originally played their games in the historic know blown up Kingdome and were part of the AFC West. The Hawks are the only team to have played in the AFC and NFC Championships. Four NFL Hall of Famers have come from the Seahawks, which include Steve Largent, Cortez Kennedy, Warren Moon, and Walter Jones. The Seahawks have won the eight division titles and two NFC Championships in 2005-2006 and this season in 2013-14. The first time the Seahawks made it to the Super Bowl the Pittsburgh Steelers trounced them in 2006. The final score to that game (Super Bowl XL) was 21-10 in favor of the Steelers. The loss to the Steelers was devastating to the city of Seattle, and it proved the fact that every major Seattle team collapses in the big game. The other major sports team to have won a Championship title was the Seattle Sonics in 1979, but since then they have been relocated to Oklahoma City and are now the Thunder.

    Are You Building a Team rooted in Justice? According to an article that appeared in USA TODAY (August 2, 2016), "It was the spring. Attendance: mandatory. The players huddled in a conference room at the team's facility. The discussion, they were told, would impact the way they would be coached." The meeting was called by Pete Carroll, Head Coach of the Seattle Seahawks, and included eight of the Partner School of the Incarnation, MD most-trusted leaders on his Seattle Seahawks. There was no mention of offensive formations, blitz packages, play sheets, or practice drills. The meeting, was about a book. The book? The Road to Character by David Brooks (©2015, Random House). You rarely hear of a NFL head coach assigning a book on character as pre- season required reading, but this was a book whose meaning Coach Carroll wanted these players - Russell Wilson, Doug Baldwin, Richard Sherman, Kam Chancellor, Bobby Wagner, Earl Thomas, Mike Morgan, and Steven Hauschka - to absorb and impart to the rest of the team. The opening sentences of the introduction to The Road to Character read like this: "Recently I've been thinking about the difference between the résumé virtues and the eulogy virtues. The résumé virtues are the ones you list on your résumé, the skills that you bring to the job market and that contribute to external success. The eulogy virtues are deeper. They're the virtues that get talked about at your funeral, the ones that exist at the core of your being - whether you are kind, brave, honest or faithful; what kind of relationships you have formed."
