PrintThere are no stated rules tonight, but if you get banned, you deserve it. Or I'm belligerent, and we'll clear it up in the morning. Or, the afternoon. Sometime tomorrow..probably. Luckily, my wife is a nurse.
The point is: have fun. It'll get rowdy. Be a Seahawks fan and know that makes us genetically superior to those around us. My personal scietician assures it.

I think Mora found the best way to avoid deciding kickoff return duties
Keep it to one return a game. Very sneaky of you, Mora, but I see what you’re doing there.
Mora to the defense
Hey guys, Josh has a bad ankle. He needs to rest that ankle. Can you guys pitch a shutout so there’s only one kickoff?

It's definitely in my top 3 favorites.
Speaking of Belgians, I happened upon this randomly and can not recommend it enough.
I hadn't either. I was downtown and walking to a friend's place and saw an interesting wine/beer store on the way.
I stopped in and it called to me. I answered the right bottle.
Not very. It reminds me of a sourified Belgian Tripel (George Brett Triple) I had at Sourfest,
except the major sour punch never happens. It has an ever-so-slight hint of sour and that really makes it.
8 is wonderful.
10 is not nearly as good.

Good
Better than standard Black Butte but maybe not worth the $11 price tag. The cashier was telling me, though, that people re-sell them on the interwebs for $50 a 22.
But its hard to improve dramatically on Black Butte or Obsidian.
""I wanted to be a quarterback, but I got hungry."
-LG Rob Sims
I don't know
Deschutes is a wonderful brewery, but almost everything they do can be improved. They cut some corners to get to price, that is why it’s amazing their beers are tasty as they are.
They don't cut any corners on the high end.
Mirror Mirror, the Dissident and Black Butte XXI are all amazing.

I'll forget you said that
They don’t have any great IPAs and I could care less about their lighter beers, but Bachelor, Obsidian and Black Butte are the standard by which I set other beers.
""I wanted to be a quarterback, but I got hungry."

They are about as good as it gets for a large craft brewery's mainstream line

You can get better beers
but they’re pretty awesome. I lived in Arizona for a few years when they didn’t distribute there. It was a happy day for me when they finally started selling down there.

Deschutes is indeed a damned fine brewery

In college, a friend and I hitchhiked to Bend
We showed up at the brewery unannounced at 9am on a Saturday with our backpacks on. The two brewers that were there (a couple of beardy guys drinking beers) gave us a personal tour, free tastings and a sixer to take with us (without a carding). It was pretty cool.
""I wanted to be a quarterback, but I got hungry."
-LG Rob Sims
ESBs are not my taste and I'm not a big porter man, but Anderson Valley blows Deschutes away
As far as stouts, something I love, Obsidian is not in the running. It’s fine at Freddys, but it’s not in the running.
I think that their lighter beers are actually some of their best.
Twilight is my favorite of their non-seasonals. And Obsidian is great at a dive bar or Safeco, but yeah, not going to pick up a sixer of that if I’m at a beer store.

Red Hook is awful.
Sorry Seattle, but that brewery is an embarrassment. Fat Tire is another that does what it does well. Alaskan is quality, but very Deschutes like. Anderson Valley is quality.
Fat Tire is pretty meh as far as I am concerned
but some of their limited release stuff is fantastic.
Alaskan’s regular line is solid but the Winter is horribly, horribly underrated.
by Aaron Campeau on Oct 11, 2009 7:04 PM PDT up reply actions
Fat Tire makes the best cheap Tripel around
they are overexposed, but it’s not a terrible brewery. You just have to have a huge taste for “spice”.
To be honest the only Tripels I like are at the very high-end.

There's only a couple of New Belgian beers I truly enjoy
Fat Tire is just too bland for me. I like the summer stuff that they brew with spices/herbs/etc, but I’m mostly meh about them.

Hey John - Question
On more than one occasion recently I’ve seen you rant about Kerney’s contract. Doesn’t it end after this season? I could have sworn we signed him on a three-year deal.
They'll probably let him and Branch go this year
Unless both put up incredible production. Free up some money to go after some FAs next year and sign some of our own guys back. I don’t expect us to go crazy even in an uncapped year.
Second question for John
Tapp ruled today. How much do you think it’s going to take for the coaching staff to start starting him over Patrick?
So we have him signed thru what year?

WHO IS FEELING SUPER BOWL?
I AM FEELING SUPER BOWL.
I CAN FEEL IT IN MY DEEP DOWN TO MY VERY TIPPY TIP.
I don't think Jones will get healthy, but he needs to.
A healthy offensive line means a healthy Hasselbeck, and a Matt-led offense + our defense means second round of the playoffs, MINIMUM.
From watching Peyton Manning,
and Hasselbeck, I’m thinking more and more that the O-line is a bit overrated in general when compared to the QB.

That show has gone the way of Scrubs.
The shtick was great for a while, but the writing is awful and the characters were made to be extremely concentrated caricatures of their previous selves. IASIP has gone from ~best show on TV to average at best.

With Brees on bye, I picked up Sanchez.

That was almost as neat as the pick Sherrick McManis made yesterday.
I will rarely advocate for Northwestern players (for obvious reasons), but that kid is talented. I’d love to see him in blue.
Me too, every year I say I'm not going to play fantasy football because it's a waste of time.
Same goes for every other fantasy and mlb the show for ps and madden for xbox and every year I cave.
Oh I'm not addicted to them.
I never play the games, and usually lose interest in my teams. I just sign up for it.
I think it's the whole cheering for players I wouldn't care about otherwise
and hoping players I’m up against to fail miserably even though I might like them. And then there’s the whole internal conflict thingy when they play the Seahawks.
I tried one year, did ok, lost interest. whatever. I think I probably just hate people talking about their fantasy teams and their players that they wouldn’t care about other then that they’re on their team.

In my current state, I've decided the Broncos winning some games isn't the worst thing ever.
A pick in the late teens will be much more cost-effective and should still produce a solid player.
That trade was a no lose situation for us
Denver could go to the Super Bowl and we’d still be ok with the trade.
What? 5 picks up
and you have to wait a whole year? Seems not so great to me unless you think last year’s draft was unusually weak, and this year’s is stronger.
Sure
We still got a good player in the second round. I do believe this draft should be stronger.

It's my brother's.
He’s bringing it over for a few months. He’s pretty destructive. And… not good at following orders. But he’s fun to have around. As long as he’s not passing gas, which is never.
I don't mine too much. My dog right now farts a lot anyways.
I think it’s a male dog thing. As long as he doesn’t have an accident inside, I’m cool.
God damn raw hides

Yeah, I brought him a toy when I visited him because my dogs never played with it.
Cost me $22. He destroyed it in less than 12 hours. It was a squirrel with 16 squeeky things in it, and he ripped them all out then ripped the squirrel’s head off.
Oh the joys of pet ownership.

Yep. Also broke into my brother's roommates room
and swallowed a bottle of pills and had to be taken to a vet.
Ate a bag of oatmeal… shit a lot.
Ate a bag of nectarines puked up a bunch of cores.
Burrowed so many holes in the backyard, he had to get a new fence.
That’s why even though I have two of the girliest dogs ever, I’m happy. No barking, no problems.
I love that shit, though
Houdini was shot and then his urethra was jammed. Never loved him more than when he recovered.
Huskies are pretty awesome dogs. I've had them all my life.
The nicest things is that they are friendly to all people and the vast majority of dogs. But if another dog attacks them, they can handle the situation with dispatch,
They are also ridiculously athletic. When I’m at full speed(I’m pretty fast), my husky can still zoom by me effortlessly.
There's this place down Grand called Viking Video
that is either a front for organized crime or a porn studio.
Apparently a few massage parlors in the King County area
were actually prostitute houses. The key to figuring it out was the fact that they were open for business until 4 AM.
Maybe they just sell videos of vikings
is that so crazy

Cause I love wheat beers but non that come in a bottle.
Most of the beer I buy at home is of the light variety. (Trying to watch my figure)

I don't disagree with this.
But most of the time I drink wine at home. And then get good beers when I go out with friends.

North Coast is really good
but their hoppy beers give me hangovers (and sometimes only one can do it).

Speaking of which
my wife’s and I’s (my recipe, her execution) GF pizza with homegrown onions and Cherokee tomatoes.
gluten is a protein
so the hard to match is the elasticity. Xanthum gum helps with that, but it’s a delicate process.
I'll delicate your process.

Yeah. I im a keen chef and engineering brain loves the science of cooking.
I was wondering how you recreate the properties that gluten provides.
I think you could get away with a lot more
in a thin pizza crust than you could in a loaf of bread. You’re not going to miss the stretchy texture as much and can replace is with more of a smaller crumb.
""I wanted to be a quarterback, but I got hungry."
-LG Rob Sims
I just meant that the dimensions are smaller
in pizza crust than a loaf of bread. You can better mimic the chewiness of gluten in the pizza than a loaf.
""I wanted to be a quarterback, but I got hungry."
-LG Rob Sims
Even in a thin crust pizza, you need some level of rising.
That’s what separates cracker from bread. Gluten is key in providing the resilient matrix in which the CO2 from yeast can add volume.
muffins rise
eggs (and probably tapioca) can do the job.
""I wanted to be a quarterback, but I got hungry."
-LG Rob Sims
Muffins are made with wheat flour.
Wheat flour is filled with gluten.
Egg is noteworthy for being a wonderful natural emulsifier.
I love cooking
Here’s my Cris Collinsworth side: Make a woman a wonder meal, not a meal, a wonderful meal, and….alirght. Alright. Alright.
They can also be pretty impressed with any sort of meal

It's more elemental than sleazy for me.
I like feeding people, and well. It’s the Jewish mother in me.
I love feeding
I have no cultural heritage I know of to explain that. I just think food and comedy are the purest art forms. You can’t fool food.
It's elemental.
Cooking is logical, which fits that side of my brain. It’s this great combination of science, art, and personal expression and I love that.
I can't draw, paint, or sculpt worth a damn.
The only art I produce is edible.
I am decent to good with art
Always wanted to be an artist, but true craft is not in me.
Food. You can’t bluff food. I love food and comedy. Gotta make a dish and do an open night mike every so often to stay grounded.
tapioca and potato both come from roots
right?

But something about the way Hass was playing, maybe it’s just because it’s been so long since we’ve seen him really play to kill.
