Beware Bears
The Seattle Seahawks Marshawn Lynch had a 67 yard touchdown run that literally made the ground shake during his team’s upset win on Saturday:
Vidale said a seismic monitoring station located about 100 yards west of the stadium registered seismic activity during Lynch’s run. The shaking was most intense during a 30-second stretch about the time Lynch broke free from the line of scrimmage, finished off his touchdown and celebrated in the end zone with his teammates.
After that, Vidale said, the shaking died down, but it took about a minute for the shaking to completely fade away.
I was in the car, so I heard this run live on the radio and it sounded amazing. Lynch’s run was so video game-like (he broke 8 tackles!) that he inspired at least two separate youTube mashups:
My Chicago Bears are heavy favorites to beat the Seahawks in the playoffs this weekend. I hope the Bears saw this run and will not act as though they’ve won before the game has started.
