At first, the Hawks were loveable losers. The Nordstrom family owned the team, and stocked it with young players like floppy-haired quarterback Jim Zorn and undersized receiver Steve Largent. The Hawks had an unexpectedly successful season in 1983, advancing to the AFC Championship. But they soon settled into a pattern of mediocrity. The new owner, a California land developer, tried to move them to Los Angeles. They weren’t loveable anymore. People started calling them the “Shithawks.” In 1997, billionaire Paul Allen bought the team. He hired Super Bowl winning coach Mike Holmgren to run it. The Hawks made the playoffs three times under Holmgren, but lost each time. That brings us to 2005. Tune in tomorrow.
