How is it possible I find myself rooting for Favre?
I wish I could quit you, Brett
inside of a dog it's too dark to read.
Because he's a moron who wants as much attention as possible?
And who doesn’t care whether that attention is good or bad?
she looks a lot like a younger version of his wife
can’t remember where i saw photos of the two of them.
I don't care about Favre's personal life
or the 24/7 media attention he draws, I just like to watch him play football.
Apropos of nothing
1. Denver got fucking killed today
2. We own their 4th rounder (via NE)
3. 4th rounders are valuable, see Walter Thurmond III today
4. It’s fun to revel in the misfortune of others
5. Those wanting to revel are directed here: http://www.milehighreport.com/2010/10/24/1771890/final-oakland-raiders-59-denver-broncos-14-worst-loss-ever#comments

I wouldn't troll regardless, absent some serious provocation.
I prefer to smirk in silence.

So, since we're all a little less uptight in SNF threads
I benched McFadden in one league and Britt in another.
Way to spread the suck around.
I prefer to do all my shitting in just one bed.
inside of a dog it's too dark to read.
If anyone is interested.
I can start emailing my bad decisions in case anyone wants to know who’s about to blow up.
Nobody cares about your...
Oh hey, John! Who did you start in their places?
McFadden single-handedly destroyed one of my opponents. I loved watching him rack up the points.
Yeah
and turns out my teams are pretty stacked.
The FG NFC league I picked Williams first overall is in second place.
The Vikings are evil incarnate
Whatever Brett Favre once was, he has sold his soul and is now possessed by an incubus. Steve Hutchinson is the reincarnation of Benedict Arnold. Randy Moss acquires his powers by drinking human blood, and the team’s contract tenders are scribe by Lucifer himself.
So I’m pulling for the Pack, too.
Jason, want to join my fantasy SCOTUS league?
“Noir Dire”. I can send you an invite.

If it worked that way, Kennedy would be Chris Johnson
You just guess how they’ll vote. :)

that's amazing
i hope you also get points for opinions…
Alas, following Court proceedings leaves a bad taste in my mouth
And during football season, it already takes most of the week to clear out the bile after watching FOX’s NFL Today Dallas Cowboys Pregame Show
Certainly this is the key to winning at "Two truths and a lie"
inside of a dog it's too dark to read.
Rancid is a band, and they occasionally tour in Portland
So, you see, his story was inspired by actual events.
It was obvious from the get-go.
Cocaine is not Rancid’s drug of choice, heroin is. I know, because I was there, too.
War of the Worlds III?
Counting Independence Day as WotW II, and the Tom Cruise WotW as a rambling bunch of irrelevance.
So, yeah.
One day it'll be the Seahawks that have the young, pro-bowl QB
who so many teams with Hasselbeck/Derek Anderson-esque QBs wish they had. Sobs ONE DAY
Somebody tell me if this isn't as stupid as it sounds
In the presser McDaniels explained that he left Orton in for the duration because he didn’t want to put Tim in “that kind of situation”.
inside of a dog it's too dark to read.
Also, yes, Whitehurst's hair is shorter now.
It’s still kind of long, but nowhere near what it was during the preseason.
I wonder if Whitehurst isn't ready yet
and it’s not that he’s bad or that the coaching staff believes in Matt, just that the coaching staff doesn’t want to rush Charlie.
Not the most likely explanation, but about as supported as any other.
wouldn't a switch to Whitehurst at this point represent a risk?
In as much that if Whitehurst bombs the FO will look really bad
These guys aren't afraid of risk

Agreed.
I think they are not afraid of taking what might popularly be seen as bad risks.
inside of a dog it's too dark to read.
I just don't see a QB change at this point
If we were 2 and 4 I’m sure it’d be on the table
They're not afraid of taking risks
The issue is whether starting Charlie now is the best for the team in the short term or the longer term, whether it makes sense to start a QB when we’ve got the lead in the division. If Matt gives us a chance to succeed, we’ll play him.

Or maybe they threatened that he wouldn't play if his hair was too long.
This is football, it’s not a game for hippies!
After this much time, will he ever be ready?
I agree that as long as we are winning, the FO is going to go with Matt as the starter.
KingKung has another High ankle sprain
http://seattletimes.nwsource.com/html/seahawksblog/2013249830_russell_okungs.html
Ouch. Our offense works with the King. Notsomuch without him.
Whatever Matt figured out in the 4th, it’d be nice to see a carry over. 3 steps and 1 or 2 check downs. Without K’Kung, there won’t be enough time for comfort zone Hasselbeck.
What Matt figured out,
I think you’re right. It looked like Bates was giving him play calls with no more than two options, so Matt didn’t spend an hour looking at all the receivers.
it isn't the same ankle...
just bad luck… probably stepped on a foot or something
Right, thinking maybe his tendons down there might just be weak.
inside of a dog it's too dark to read.
we're talking about ligaments here... which attaches bone to bone
tendon attaches muscle to bone. Ligaments could be weak chronically but typically only from a repeat injury and/or poor rehab of previous injury
I'll never get those straight.
Is there a mnemonic of some kind?
inside of a dog it's too dark to read.
I'l give it a shot...
“Ligaments” = legume + ents
Legumes are like beans. Ents are like big plants.
A giant bean plant is what Jack climbed (the beanstalk) to meet the giant who’s catchphrase included “grind his bones”. So that’s bone-on-bone, which is connected by ligaments.
Alternatively:
“Tin Dawn” sounds like Schwarzenegger movie. Schwarzenegger has famous muscles.
Gotcha.
What about some sort of stiff bootie, that he just wears all the time as a precaution?
inside of a dog it's too dark to read.
Obviously a ski boot would be a cure worse than the disease
But something that still allows for mobility…ok I’m just grasping here.
inside of a dog it's too dark to read.
That's what I was wondering as well
When I busted my ankle in college playing hoops, I wore a stiff brace on it for a while — it hampered mobility a bit, but added a ton of reinforcement to the ankle.
Why wait until it happens?
Just wear it every game, like some QBs are doing now with knee braces on their plant legs.
inside of a dog it's too dark to read.
well there is a trade off there... less mobility
and a brace won’t prevent all sprains… all in all it’s probably not worth it in a preventative sense – unless the ankle is already suspect
No, someone rolled on his foot.
Chris Baker, this time.
Thrilled to be excited about a Seattle running back for the first time since 2006.

Damn I love this Packers vertical passing attack
just wish we had a QB who could execute those throws… oh wait
did the Packers use their long snapper on that play?
Flynn was like 8 yards behind the snapper
O/T: Auburn number 1 now?
For fuck’s sake. The BCS doesn’t have a CH of credibility left.
inside of a dog it's too dark to read.
The BCS is impartial and objective
Its just that the system gives bonus points for playing in the SEC.

Dear Aaron Rodgers
Please come play for the Seattle Seahawks.

Pig wings would be yummy

Farve with back-to-back interceptions
Think he’ll go for three?
Childress can go home now, right?
Michael Robinson leads the Seahawks in completion percentage, yards-per-attempt, and QB rating.
Favreception
here’s some shocking info:
San Diego ranks 1st in total defense & offense. And their 1st in passing offense & passing defense, yet are still ranked 27th in the league, and only have 2 wins! Stats can really be a bitch.
San Diego is #1 in Norv Turner
Which is really bad.
Michael Robinson leads the Seahawks in completion percentage, yards-per-attempt, and QB rating.
Brian Burke talked about that
Link here, from Advanced NFL Stats.
The situation is so enigmatic that there’s even a Wall Street Journal Article discussing it.
The prevailing theory is that it has a lot to do with “luck”, or, more precisely, outcome distribution. For example, if two baseball teams each have nine hits in a game, they have similar production; but if the Team A has one hit per inning, and Team B has all their hits in the same inning, a likely final score is 0-7.
My own thought: Models like Burke’s tend to give more weight to statistical categories that his own research has shown to be predictable. But the Chargers seem to be an unusual team, in that their suckiness on special teams and their inability to cover up fumbles are a lot more consistent than is typical.
Al Michaels seems very up for this game.
Michael Robinson leads the Seahawks in completion percentage, yards-per-attempt, and QB rating.
What?
In that case, the review has to be INDISPUTABLE. The call on the field needs to be as good as possible.
Too many times I’ve seen reviews go the wrong way because the call on the field was crap but the review evidence wasn’t indisputable.
Too many times have I seen an official not allow a play to continue and then worry about the correct call later.
Stealers game earlier today is a perfect example.
I have to admit...
there was much less Favre-slobbing in that telecast than MNF. Tirico is unbearable compared to Michaels and his cohort.
Start Charlie Whitehurst. / #24 = Beast Mode! Welcome, Marshawn
Well, there's no money to be made off of a tainted superstar.
