You think your phone knows? Your phone lies. The “Seahawks app” will tell you the game starts at 1:10 PM, but then your cable box says 1:15 PM. Which is it? The answer is: It’s a test. The universe is testing your patience.
Best advice? Just tune in 15 minutes early. You’ll catch the coin toss. Or you’ll miss the entire first quarter because you trusted Google. I’ve seen grown men cry over this. One guy in a #12 jersey literally threw his remote at the wall because he thought the game started at 5:00 PM. It was 4:00 PM. He missed a touchdown. RIP, remote.
A Final, Surprising Fact
Did you know the Seahawks’ 2014 Super Bowl kickoff was at 6:30 PM Eastern? That’s 3:30 PM in Seattle. Fans started lining up for the stadium at 5 AM. That’s a 10.5-hour tailgate. That’s crazy. But also beautiful. Because the time doesn’t matter when you’re winning.
So, next time someone asks, “What time do the Seahawks play?”, just smile. Say, “Eventually.” Or say, “Check your phone, then double-check your soul.” And then order a pizza. Because no matter what time it is, it’s always snack time in Seahawks country. Go Hawks.
