Seahawks Game Not to be Shown in the Portland Area?

by John Morgan on Dec 10, 2009 1:44 PM PST

Update: Patrick McCreery wrote me back to confirm the game will be televised in the Portland area.

I awoke from Reavers smashing my head into a second story bathroom window and into a much worse ordeal: SSReporters emailed me the most recent distribution map and it projects Seahawks at Texans will not be broadcast in the Portland area. I've emailed Fox 12 seeking confirmation. The game is still on the site's program guide, but maybe it wasn't updated. The switch happened just yesterday.

If you live in the Portland area or just get a kick out of advocacy, send your emails to programming@kptv.com and voice your displeasure. Maybe we can convince Fox to switch it back or at least choke their rivers with our dead trying. If we can't, I'll awake early Sunday morning, hop into my car and look for a bar in Centralia. And no one wants that, especially not the city of Centralia. A weekend without Seahawks football is a tiny death I will not tolerate. Worse than Reavers storming my bathroom and raping my friends and myself to death. And I'll tell ya, even in dream form, that's pretty bad.

I had no idea you lived in the Portland area.

Cool.

The demise of the Broncos in '09 is our future. Pray hard.

I love Portland.

I always thought I would move to Seattle, but Portland is becoming my home.

I haven't been to Centralia in a while...

but The Olympic is a great bar. Don’t knock. Stop in sometime…

Of course, being that I spent my high school years in Onalaska (about 4 freeway exits before Centralia) I only had one bar in the town I grew up in.. .the Paul Bunyon. Yep. It was located about 2 blocks from the Logger Burger Bar, and was close to the Justice General Store.

Yep, Onalaska. Go Loggers!!!

Yeah, but The Olympic is a McMenamins, which means they have overpriced, mediocre beer,

bland food, and HORRIBLE service.

I’ve eaten there once, and came away unimpressed as I always do after stopping in to a McMenamins.

I will smash your face into a jelly.

I don't know what McManamins is...

I just know The Olympic is the best place in Centralia.

I do admit, however, that I haven’t been there since my 10 year class reunion in 2003, and I still go to the Paul Bunyon (now called something else) when I’m home….

McMenamins is the fast food of brew pubs in the Portland area.

I think there might be one or two in Seattle, but the majority are down here in Vancouver/Portland.

The only thing they have going for them is the neverending fries.

Other than that, yeah I was unimpressed as well.

Also a die-hard Hawks fan.

So maybe they are "fast food" in Portland...

but in Centralia it’s pretty solid considering the alternative options.

Portland is pretty damned awesome.

When’d you move there?

I've been in the area since my father's cross country escape from the law.

Eight-ninth grade I think.

You can't say that without giving more details.

Agreed!

Hmm had no idea you lived here in Portland.

That kicks ass, haha i even said you were very uh Portlandy. Had to help my aunt move on sunday so i had to DVR the game, couldn’t even get to the thread. I bet it went wild at about 13:38 left in the third.

May the FORCE be with us..

I had no idea you loved Firefly.

I watched the entire series when I was sick or crazy or something

bed ridden anyway. I only knew Joss Whedon from X-Man comics my former roommate bought, but I noticed he had a talent for writing conversations between large groups.

Bedridden is one word.

That makes sense.

by John Morgan on Dec 10, 2009 2:02 PM PST up reply actions

Now watch Buffy the Vampire Slayer.

It’s worth it, I swear.

And that fucking sucks that you dreamt of the Reavers. Scary as shit, they are.

I will smash your face into a jelly.

Everyone endorses Buffy to me

but my TV watching is down, down. Maybe when I get the flu sometime.

by John Morgan on Dec 10, 2009 2:47 PM PST up reply actions

I've been meaning to get into Buffy for over a year now.

I just cant find the time to get into a new series like that. All I watch regularly is House and Mythbusters. Occasionally a Cheers rerun.

Buffy Is Totally Worth It

It’s not just an angst-filled teenage drama. It’s an angst-filled teenage drama with monsters!

And you can sit and enjoy it with your wife. I promise.

by robbbbbb on Dec 10, 2009 2:54 PM PST up reply actions

Careful.

It’s seven seasons. And there’s five seasons of Angel, which I like just as much if not better.

I’ve lost whole weeks watching shows on DVD. I think I watched 48 episodes of lost in twelve days or something.

by djafrot on Dec 10, 2009 4:07 PM PST up reply actions

Jesus, that's incredible that you've watched that many episodes of Lost in 12 days.

I thought I was doing well when I watched 9 episodes in a day.

I will smash your face into a jelly.

by Phil Hatzenbuehler on Dec 10, 2009 4:44 PM PST up reply actions

I watched seasons 1 and 2 non stop, about 15 hours a day...

but never saw any of season 3. Odd. Now I feel almost as if I will need to rewatch seasons 1 and 2.

I went through The Wire season 1 in a day as well. EPIC. The Wire is the greatest show ever…

Haha.

If you get the first disc of the 4th season, there’s a feature called “8 1/2 minutes of Lost” or something… it summarizes the first three seasons in eight minutes. With voiceover. Hilarious.
