Because Seahawks fans haven't been shit on and embarrassed for 50 years Brian
Because 7 years into the Seahawks existence we got a taste in the AFC Championship.
Because baseball is every day for 6 months and lives in your veins every day over the summer when there's no school and you're 12 years old.
Because the World Series, we were told, wasn't for us.
Because it's a dream. Because we never thought it would happen. Because we can't even imagine it.
Because it takes place in OUR town. Because it's a week and half long at max, 4 games at minimum.
Because of men, women, young, old, generations of fathers and sons, mothers and daughters and friends.
Because of all of it. I
Julio Rodriguez was born to be a Mariner: “I think people sometimes get so lost trying to get more and more and more. And that’s not to say I don’t want to get better, or help the team get to late October baseball — that’s my biggest goal.
But, man…. When you find something good? Something you love? Hold on to it. Don’t let it go.
And I love Seattle.
It’s home.
I feel embraced here, and I know how this city treats people who give their all.
The night Ichiro was inducted to the Mariners’ Hall of Fame I was fortunate enough to speak with him and get to be part of the ceremony. (I was the flower boy. I brought him flowers. It was one of the greatest honors of my career so far. For real.) I remember seeing members of our staff, our fans, with tears in their eyes as highlights of Ichiro rolled on the big screen and while he spoke. He meant so much to everyone in the city — to every Mariners’ fan around the world — and I was just in awe of him.
During his speech, he spoke about his new role with the team and being a mentor to the next generation. He said, ‘I want our players to know: I am with you in your fight to be the best.’ And he looked over at the dugout, and maybe I’m crazy, but I felt like he looked at me. And the moment just kind of hit me. I knew I wanted to finish what he started here.
I have such a tremendous respect for him, and I cherish getting to pick his brain and get to know him more. His work ethic, his diligence, his love of the craft — it’s in our clubhouse. We’re taking it with us wherever we go. And we got places we want to go....
I feel honored to know that I’m going to be a Mariner for a long time. I know what it means to wear this jersey. What we got…. That’s for us, Seattle. I appreciate with all my heart the trust you put in me from the moment I came to America. I really do. And I trusted you right back to help me grow, to support me and let me be the person I always wanted to be.” https://t.co/BZonqcKynS
Forever Legendary. Forever Brothers. @Bwagz I love you for life bro! They gave us an F Grade in 2012… But we still here doing it!!! “Don’t get bored with consistency!” God gets ALL the Glory!
I’m sorry I couldn’t properly lead to this beautiful tribute the @CollegeGameDay put together. Really wanted to thank all of you for the avalanche of love and support you’ve shown Ben. It gives me and my family such comfort knowing how he impacted so many peoples lives around the country. He was a beautiful and loving soul.
Quincy Olivari got emotional after meeting Steph Curry:
"I liked him since I was in 6th grade... that's my favorite player ever... the first thing he told me was 'I'm a big fan of your game'... I had his jersey, he signed it twice. I used to sleep under that jersey."

Welles Crowther was a former Boston College lacrosse player whose trademark was a red bandana.
On September 11, 2001, he led people to safety after terrorists struck the World Trade Center.
This is his story.
#Dolphins HC Mike McDaniel got very emotional and choked up talking about Tyreek Hill getting detained on Sunday.
"The thing that f***** me up honestly, to be quite frank, is knowing that I don’t know exactly. I don’t know what that feels like."
Full answer via @MiamiDolphins:
I just canceled my Season Tickets with the @Mariners
I simply can't line the pockets of these owners anymore
They have absolutely destroyed this team
I'll always support the players, but this ownership needs to go
The fans deserve better
No more excuses
Sell to someone who cares
For 45 years straight
If @Mariners were playing, I'd be watching
Today, I'm not even turning on the game
I'd say this is doctors' orders, but it's more about sanity
Ownership simply won't support these guys, and it's beyond painful to watch
I'm out, for today...
Seattle and @UW_Football fam we have a deeper problem that needs to be identified, addressed and resolved. If we simply believe these events are by chance then we're fooling ourselves. #PurpleReign
