BUT TRUE. IT'S THE LOGIC OF LOYALTY. Page 3 of 7 LOYALTY IS WHAT BEING A FAN IS ALL ABOUT. WINNING FEELS GOOD. LOSING FEELS BAD. BUT LOYALTY IS THE CONSTANT. THE ONE THING THAT DOESN'T CHANGE WITH THE SCORE OR RECORD OR THE SEASON. LOYALTY CAN ACCOMMODATE A PASSING GAME, A RUNNING GAME, EVEN A LOUSY GAME. BUT IT MEANS YOU STICK, NO MATTER WHAT. LOYALTY GOES ONTO THE FIELD A PIECE OF EVERY FAN. A SPIRIT WILLED THERE BY THE BELIEVERS IN THE SEATS AND ON THE SOFAS. IT SITS ON THE SHOULDERS OF THE GLADIATORS WHISPERING ENCOURAGEMENT IN THEIR EARS. SOMETIMES AT 130 DECIBELS. RADIO - TO GET TO 137 DECIBELS IS LIKE STANDING 100 YDS. FROM A JET ENGINE. THE BANNERS, THE HATS AND THE SHIRTS, THE PAINT AND THE POWDER, THE COLORS, THE SIGNS. THEY'RE JUST 1 PART OF THE FAN'S STORY. THE PART THAT MAKES NOISE. THE LOYALTY PART SAYS LITTLE BUT GOES DEEPER. LOYALTY IS WHAT LIFTS FANS HIGH ENOUGH SO THEY CAN SEE A FUTURE THAT CAN BE. A FUTURE THAT WILL BE, SOMEDAY. LOYALTY GETS BEATEN UP ALL THE TIME BY DISAPPOINTMENTS, TURNOVERS AND DROPPED PASSES AND MISSED FIELD GOALS. BY SCORES THAT END UP THE WRONG WAY AROUND. FANS WHO COOK IN THIS MISERY STEW KNOW THEY HAVE A LOT OF COMPANY SWIMMING AROUND IN THERE WITH THEM; AND THEY KNOW THAT SOONER OR LATER EVERY FAN FROM WHATEVER TEAM IS NOW ON TOP WILL EXPERIENCE A TURN IN THE PIT. IT'S WHAT YOU GET FOR BEING LOYAL. BURNED. FACE IN THE HANDS. HEAD SHAKING DISBELIEF. WHAT FAN LOYALTY CAN'T BE IS KILLED. IT MAY LOOK DEAD FROM TIME TO TIME BUT IT'S JUST MOSTLY DEAD. IT'LL BE BACK NEXT WEEK GOOD AS NEW, ALIVE AND KICKING, AND PASSING, AND RUNNING. SOMETIMES IT COMES BACK IN TRIUMPH. SWEET SWEET PAYBACK TIME. THOSE WINS FEEL SO GOOD. A PROOF STATEMENT THAT WHAT YOU SAID ALL ALONG WAS SO SO RIGHT. THERE YOUR GUYS ARE GOING ON INSTEAD OF GOING HOME. JUST LIKE YOU SAID. JUST LIKE YOU KNEW THEY COULD. JUST LIKE YOU KNEW THEY WOULD. FOR THE NEVER SAY DIE CROWD, THE NEVER GIVE UP CROWD, THE I KNEW THEY WOULD CROWD. THE FAITHFUL. THE TRUE BELIEVERS WHO OWN THE VICTORY AS MUCH AS ANYONE IN UNIFORM. LOYALTY HAS ITS OWN REWARDS. SOMETIMES IT'S EVEN GIVEN A TROPHY. Page 4 of 7 1:39:02;16 - THE SEAHAWK MEET THE LONGEST TENURED SEATTLE SEAHAWK. HATCHED IN 2005, TAIMA WEIGHS LESS THAN 3 LBS. CAN FLY THE 40 IN UNDER A SECOND, AND HAS LED SEATTLE'S INTRODUCTIONS SINCE 2006. YOU COME OUT TO SEATTLE AND LIKE...O.K., THIS IS LEGIT. THE HAWK IS FLYING LOW TO SOME DUDE LIKE THIS. AND HE JUST LIKE .. .. ! JUST LIKE...IT'S PRETTY BALLER I THINK. IT'S A BEAUTIFUL BIRD. IT'S ICONIC AND IT DOES FLY RIGHT IN FRONT OF US. THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS A SEAHAWK TOO. YOU KNOW THAT RIGHT? IT'S NOT A SEAHAWK, BECAUSE THERE ISN'T ONE. VERY TRUE COACH. BUT WE'LL LEAVE THE REST OF THE TAIMA TRIVIA TO THE EXPERT. HE WAS BRED IN CAPTIVITY. HE'S AN AUGUR HAWK FROM AFRICA, AND AT THE LAST PRESEASON GAME WE CHRISTENED HIM TAIMA WHICH MEANS THUNDER. MY NAME IS DAVID KANUTSON, AND I HAVE BEEN A PRACTICING FALCONRY FOR 44 YEARS. HEY BUDDY. IF WE HAVE A GAME ON SUNDAY, I'LL GIVE HIM MONDAY OFF. TUESDAY I'LL START WEIGHING HIM AND GET HIM JUST RIGHT. WEDNESDAY, THURSDAY, FRIDAY AND SATURDAY WE'LL DO 15 TO 20 FLIGHTS RIGHT FROM HERE. WHEN THE TIME COMES TO FLY OUT AT THE TUNNEL, I WANT IT TO BE THE EASIEST THING HE'S DONE ALL WEEK. YEA, SO WE MAKE OUR PRACTICE REALLY HARD. HE'S GOTTA FLY OUT AND THEN UP TO THE 2ND STORY WHICH IS A LOT HARDER THAN EVEN AT THE GAME. IT'S A LOT BETTER EXERCISE FLYING UPWARD BUILDING UP HIS PECTORAL MUSCLE. HE KNOWS THAT EVERY TIME HE FLIES TO ME HE GETS PART OF HIS MEAL FOR THE DAY. WE FEED QUAIL. THEY COME FROZEN TO US. THEY’RE BRED BY A GAME BIRD BREEDERS JUST FOR SOMEBODY LIKE ME THAT HAS HAWKS AND FALCONS. WE'VE GOTTA HAVE GREAT FOOD IF WE EXPECT A GREAT PERFORMANCE. TAIMA'S JOURNEY STARTS ON THE ARM OF DAVID'S WIFE ROBIN; AND IT TAKES MORE THAN A MEAL TO ATTRACT HIM. WHEN I FLY TAIMA, WE USE A STROBE LIGHT. HE ALWAYS SEES THAT STROBE LIGHT.

    PRO FOOTBALL HALL OF FAME TEACHER ACTIVITY GUIDE 2019-2020 EDITIOn SEATTLE SEAHAWKS Team History When the Seattle Seahawks took the field for the first time in the 1976 season, it marked the culmination of a quest for a National Football League franchise that had its roots in the Pacific Northwest metropolis as early as 1957. That is when discussion first began about the possibilities of constructing a domed stadium that would assure a major league sports franchise for the city. On June 4, 1974, the NFL awarded its 28th franchise to Seattle to play in the 64,984-seat Kingdome. A civic suggestion campaign netted 20,365 entries and 1,741 different names, but “Seahawks” was selected and announced on June 17, 1975. Just a little more than two months later, after a 27-day sale, the season ticket campaign was shut off with 59,000 tickets sold. On January 3, 1976, Jack Patera, who had been a Minnesota assistant coach, was named the team’s first head coach. The Seahawks finished 2-12 in 1976, when they played in the NFC, and 5-9 in 1977, when they moved into the AFC. The Seahawks had winning 9-7 records in both 1978 and 1979 and Patera was named NFL Coach of the Year the second year. The strike-shortened 1982 season proved to be a transitional year for all of pro football, but no club fit the transitional description better than the Seahawks. Patera was removed after six-plus years as head coach. Mike McCormack finished the season as interim head coach and then was replaced in 1983 by Chuck Knox, who guided the Seahawks to an 83-67-0 record in nine seasons up through the 1991 campaign.

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.

    PRO FOOTBALL HALL OF FAME TEACHER ACTIVITY GUIDE 2019-2020 EDITIOn DALLAS COWBOYS Team History In 1960, the Dallas Cowboys became the NFL’s first successful new team since the collapse of the All- America Football Conference 10 years earlier. Clint Murchison Jr. was the new team’s majority owner and his first order of business was to hire Tex Schramm as general manager, Tom Landry as head coach and Gil Brandt as player personnel director. This trio was destined for almost unprecedented success in the pro football world but the “glory years” didn’t come easily. Playing in the storied Cotton Bowl, the 1960 Cowboys had to settle for one tie in 12 games and Dallas didn’t break even until its sixth season in 1965. But in 1966, the Cowboys began an NFL-record streak of 20 consecutive winning seasons. That streak included 18 years in the playoffs, 13 divisional championships, five trips to the Super Bowl and victories in Super Bowls VI and XII. Dallas won its first two divisional championships in 1966 and 1967 but lost to the Green Bay Packers in the NFL championship game each year. Similar playoff losses the next seasons were followed by a 16-13 last-second loss to Baltimore in Super Bowl V following the 1970 season. The Cowboys were typified as “a good team that couldn’t win the big games.” But they dispelled such thought for good the very next year with a 24-3 win over the Miami Dolphins in Super Bowl VI. The Cowboys were Super Bowl-bound three more times from 1975 to 1978.

  • Cleveland Browns Team History
    PRO FOOTBALL HALL OF FAME TEACHER ACTIVITY GUIDE 2020-2021 EDITIOn running back jim brown - hall of fame class of 1971 CLEVELAnD BROWnS Team History The Cleveland Browns were born in 1944 when Cleveland businessman Arthur B. McBride acquired a franchise in the new All-America Football Conference that would begin play in 1946. McBride’s first act after acquiring the team was to hire Paul Brown, who had been a very successful high school, college and service coach, as coach and general manager. The teams of the AAFC basically were of comparable quality to those of the NFL but, in the first 10 years of post-World War II pro football, the Cleveland Browns proved to be the best in either league. With such all-time greats as quarterback Otto Graham, fullback Marion Motley and tackle-kicker Lou Groza leading the way, Cleveland won all four AAFC championships and amassed a 52-4-3 winning record. When the AAFC folded after the 1949 season, many insisted a major reason was the Browns’ dominance that eliminated any viable competition. The AAFC-NFL settlement called for the Browns, San Francisco 49ers and Baltimore Colts to join the NFL. Many NFL diehards, still not convinced the Browns were for real, expected Cleveland to fail badly when they played against the established NFL teams. But the Browns quickly proved their domination was no fluke by opening the 1950 season with a stunning 35-10 victory over the defending NFL champion Philadelphia Eagles. Cleveland then won the NFL Eastern Conference championship for six straight years from 1950 to 1955 and NFL titles in 1950, 1954 and 1955.
