NOT SO BAD AFTERALL

I just finished watching the Seattle-Denver game. I can't say it was a well played game. Seattle looked sluggish. Denver didn't look too bad, but they committed four turnovers. Jay Cutler looked decent for a rookie. Matt Hassleback looked hurt.

But it was a close game, and when Seattle went up 14-13 I was pretty sure they would win.

Of course, they had to make it interesting by letting Denver tie it up at 20. And another game winning field goal by Josh Brown (who, I might add, made a great tackle on a kickoff).

However, what I'm really posting about is the officials' uniforms. You'll recall I had a major hissy fit about the change to the uniforms that the game officials wore. Mainly that they looked . . . oh, I don't know . . . icky came to mind. They look like an Australian rules football team.

However, I think that the cold weather gear they have is not so bad afterall. I can't find a picture right now, but if you watched the game you saw them. They aren't as bad looking as I had feared. And the cold weather uniform actually looks better than that new gawd-awful shirt with the traditional knickers . . . and that stupid NFL logo pasted in the middle of their hats. You might as well have a hat that says "World's Greatest Dad."

Anyway . . . I like the cold weather uniforms. They do look like they'll keep the guys warm. I guess they aren't so bad afterall.
