Analysis of The goal line



PIG SKINS FLY! DON'T THEY?
PASSES CAUGHT! AREN'T THEY?
15 ROWS BACK. 3 SEATS DOWN.
SEAHAWKS 7, NINERS 3.
OH SAD FOR YOU & GREAT FOR ME!
 I THINK OF WINNING.
I PRAY FOR GLORY.
NOVEMBER 20TH
OH WHAT A STORY.
15 ROWS BACK. 3 SEATS DOWN.
SEAHAWKS 7, NINERS 3.
OH SAD FOR YOU & GREAT FOR ME!
HELMETS COLIDE,
INCHES TO YARDS….
STOPPED AT THE GOAL LINE.
REALLY MEAN *ss GAURDS.
15 ROWS BACK. 3 SEATS DOWN.
SEAHAWKS 7, NINERS 3.
OH SAD FOR YOU & GREAT FOR ME!
THE FOG DOES LIFT.
THE RED AND GOLD.
UNDER ACHEVERS,
 NOT REAL OLD.
15 ROWS BACK. 3 SEATS DOWN.
SEAHAWKS 7, NINERS 13.
OH GREAT FOR YOU & SAD FOR ME!
