  1. Hell, I'd take Sherman on my team in a heartbeat. I am just being an [expletive] because of the whole "hater" thing. But the killing all the hipsters thing, I'm all for that.
  2. The Seahawks fans are great, but most of them didn't even exist before 5 years ago. And yes, sorry, but the persecution complex continues even later in that post with your complaining about the announcers. You have a great team with great fans and a douchebag coach. His douchebaggery extends down to several players. Almost every team in the league would like to be where the Seahawks are right now so stop with the victim card. And your capitalization is brutal.
  3. Who you calling white?
  4. In fact, he was such a good sport that the refs decided to flag him for taunting! That was after for the choke sign to Harbaugh. Which is because Harbaugh told NFL teams not to draft him Oh, well nevermind then. Clearly he is a good guy that just needs a little affirmation. I blame his parenting.
  5. I am laughing entirely too much at that Chewbacca picture. Well done.
  6. No, I think most people "hate" on the Seahawks because their coach was a cheat in college then bailed out on USC for the pros and suffered no consequences. Just because the Niners and their coach act like douchebags doesn't make Seattle any less douchey. Also, hipsters. They should blow up Seattle and off the whole bunch of them like they did Vegas at the end of The Stand.
  7. This type of stuff is message board gold.
  8. Tanaka isn't a savior. He's a tipping point. Well said.
  9. I think you might be projecting a bit. Maybe, and I hope so.
  10. Even beyond the meatballs though. I think some of us are so hungry for any infusion of talent that we're looking for Tanaka to be a savior of sorts, or at least some of the rhetoric seems like that. It's like the old Eddie Murphy Ritz cracker routine. We may be really let down if we find out that he's just an ordinary cracker, no pun intended.
  11. Maybe a little hyperbole on my part, but the "get him at any cost" narrative is what I'm referring to. I want him badly, but my excitement is tempered a bit. People want him at any cost because he's young and expected to be a good pitcher and the Cubs need him. I really haven't seen anyone here building him up to be some kind of super-ace. Maybe not, but I can very much see a scenario where he gets the Soriano treatment, where he may be a pretty decent player but is seen as a bust because of the money he makes. Add to that the fact that he won't be able to directly speak to the media and I could see this playing out.

  13. I want Tanaka on this team too in a bad way, but I do fear that we are building this guy up to be Sandy Koufax and Bob Gibson rolled into one.
  14. Darren Sharper arrested on an unknown felony charge. Anyone hear what this is about? http://espn.go.com/nfl/story/_/id/10314323/darren-sharper-former-nfl-safety-arrested-felony-charge
  15. Those road powder blue unis with the white pinstripes are freaking awesome.
  16. http://www.myfacewhen.net/uploads/665-thats-racist.gif
  17. Alternate? So what is the primary road jersey then? I wish this was it.
  18. Interesting that Schrager at FOX has the Saints going for the WR Benjamin out of FSU. I agree with his analysis that WR has become an under the radar big-time weakness for NO. They are aging quickly.
  19. Good Lord this would be heavenly. NM.
  20. Holy [expletive]! Seriously, Javy looks just like my neighbor's son who is Honduran. And he is 16. What is Javy's nationality again? He's a freakin' baby and he's this good. How strong is this guy going to be when he's 25?
  21. Interesting that he estimates KB's call up for late 2014, and Javy's for 2015. It may be splitting hairs but I would have thought it the other way around.
