Welcome back refs!

It started on Thursday night with a friendly text exchange with my longtime Seattle sports buddy, Tom:

Tom: Ruh Roh!  Its time for the Seahawks whupping the Rams week  :)
Me:  No way!!  My boys got it at home & we have real refs.  No cheating this week!!  :)

Tom and I have been friends for years and he's even visited in the past when the Seahawks play the Rams in St. Louis.  Sure most of the games have been in the 'Hawks favor and overall they lead the series in number of games won but we had that home win in 2010 and I'm expecting them to show the same spunk they did in that game.
You can bet I'll be catching all of the game and most like yelling at the TV during every play.  I'm hoping to prove to my friend that my Rams can put up a fight this week and that they are possible of touchdowns with no question of who is in possession of the ball in the endzone.

Most of all, I'm super excited the regular refs are back for all of this weeks' games.  The past 3 weeks have played havoc with my picks in our football pool!!

It's the picture of my Rams (Eugene Sims to be exact) illustrating to the Seahawks just what they are this afternoon.  LOSERS!
Oh the texts were flying this afternoon, but my team rose to the challenge and took down the Seahawks 19-13!  Such an amazingly exciting game!  I keep telling everyone this team is different than the Rams of the last few years and at home they've played stellar, if they work on their on the road game, they will be unstoppable. 
And mad props to our rookie kicker Greg Zuerlein who broke the Rams record twice today with his field goal kicks -- a 58 yarder and then a 60 yard field goal!  I made the joke earlier this afternoon, Zuerlein must be a rockstar at lunges and squats in the gym.  (Yes, my joke was met with eyerolls too!)

Alright, I'm going back to enjoying this afternoon's win.  :)
