Pete Carroll is now a cuss word

My darling Eden.  She is a tomboy wanna-be and is the son Rob has always dreamed of.  She roots for those Seahawks right by his side.  She really has no idea what is going on but if Rob hollers, Eden joins in.

I should have posted this sooner but failed to find the time until now as I was rooting through some old iphone pics.

In the final throws of the playoffs, the Seahawks were faced with the Falcons kicking a field goal.  If it was good, the Falcons would tie and take the game into overtime.  If it was no good, the Seahawks would take the glory.  

Eden was on the edge of her seat as the kicker took his approach.  Pete Carroll, Seahawks head coach decided to pull a strategic gamble and call a time-out to cool off the kicker.  And you guessed it...the kicker missed and would have sealed the game for the Seahawks taking them to the super bowl.  But because of the timeout, the kicker had a second chance and this time it went between the goal posts and sent the game into overtime.  The game ended with the Falcons winning and ending the Seahawks' season.

Eden was beside herself.  It was a gamble no doubt, that ended up not paying off but it was 50/50 and Pete chose the wrong 50.  To Eden, the players had nothing to do with winning or losing, it all came down to one unlucky call.

As she wailed and then stomped up the stairs, she cast off her beloved jersey and threw it in a corner.  She wouldn't support her team in their hour of sorrow for the sorrow was her own at that point.

Later, I found a outburst typed up on the computer only to add to the most amusing story.  She had a good scream in her bedroom as if her limbs were being torn from her body one by one.

Pete's name has become the name of which we do not mention around here.
