Seahawks' upset and Arizona news

Today the Seattle Seahawks just beat the New Orleans Saints, last year's Super Bowl champions, in one of the biggest upsets in recent history. I didn't watch the game until the 4th Quarter. Seahawks at that point had a small lead. New Orleans looked like they were picking up yards on every single play of the game, yet they only managed a field goal. Meanwhile the Seahawks running game was going nowhere and many of the passes thrown were no good.

Well when the one running back for Seattle ran for all of those yards, I knew that was like an unexpected gift from the Saints that the Seahawks weren't expecting. There is no doubt the Seahawks were just trying to run out the clock by keeping the ball on the ground which was foolish with the small lead they had and with over 2 minutes on the clock.

Well the bottom line is a win is a win.

Now on to something much more serious. A congresswoman in Arizona was shot in the head today. Everyone seems to be pointing to an angry Tea Party person as the shooter. I don't care if it was a Republican, Democrat, Tea Party, etc. that fired the gun. There is no excuse for this kind of senseless violence. Let's hope that people will not judge this shooter as being a representative of a political party or movement and that this person is just someone who probably acted alone.

And hopefully this shooter does their time behind bars if they are found to be competent to stand trial and that the news media will not judge people based on this shooter's political ties.

I should be back posting early next week.
