PrintIt's beautiful, I just received my promotional copy of Win Forever, my wife is off work and I think I'd rather just spend today doing something other than yammering about football.
This is a thread to talk Seahawks. I am about to walk out the door but will be in later tonight. Discuss whatever you want, or, I don't know, glory in the day.

Pat Noonan is trash
I’m not a Sounders fan, but I hate the LA Galaxy and Noonan blew two great chances.
The Dos Equis guy wishes he was Brock Lesnar.
Dude
Spokane Shock, 2 years winning it all in AFL2, got bumped up to the AFL this year – still kicking ass. I know, it’s the AFL, but damn, its nice to have SOMETHING to cheer for this time of the year. Damned Mariners.

Training Camp registration opens on Monday, July 12
Who’s going?
The exact dates haven’t been released, but Saturday, July 31 is the first one at the VMAC. Definitely going.

It was cool to go to the VMAC once, but I don't think I'll go back.
I will however be going to any practice they hold at Husky stadium.

My goal is to see at least one day of TC again this year.
Last year it was a total blast!
Red Bryant: surprise us!
I'll be in town until the 3rd of August.
I’ll try to hit at least one. Wish I actually still lived up there, I’d probably go several times.
I'm feeling optimistic about that running game
I’m calling a 1,000 yard season for Forsett.
The Dos Equis guy wishes he was Brock Lesnar.
Dude he better.
I am a firm believer that he can, though. He tore it up vs. St Louis and Arizona.
Though they sink through the Sea, they shall rise again...Death shall have no dominion...
Seneca to Engram time!
Well…as long as he doesn’t sack himself.
The Dos Equis guy wishes he was Brock Lesnar.
Him and Branch were fun to watch in 2007.
Though they sink through the Sea, they shall rise again...Death shall have no dominion...
Non-Seahawks related....Full Metal Jacket is a fantastic movie.

I went to the Seattle Sports shop outside of Qwest before the Mariners game the other day.
They had Seahawks jerseys 50% off. I was like, “Who the hell is White #24?” Oh yeah. I completely forgot we had LenDale White. Still not paying $50 for a LenDale White Seahawks jersey. The Edgerrin James ones were spendy, too, which was weird.
Edgerrin James as a Seahawk.....boy that took some valuable time away from someone capable
For a solid 6 weeks.
The Dos Equis guy wishes he was Brock Lesnar.
I forgot that happened
what a weird couple years it’s been for Seahawk fans.

I checked out (finally) Notes From a 12th Man
And it brought back not-so-distant memories of McMuffin, Logan Payne, Jordan Kent, and the time we brought back Koren Robinson.
The Dos Equis guy wishes he was Brock Lesnar.
Those were all the same time.
I’m really happy with how the KRob thing turned out, it was cool that he could come back here and be semi-productive and have his shit straight for a little while.
That 90 yard TD was legendary
The rest of the game….not so much.
The Dos Equis guy wishes he was Brock Lesnar.
I was genuinely sad when we didn't resign him
I thought he was a monster downfield blocker, and he was really quite decent at his craft. I thought he could be developed.

Freaking Colbert helped us blow a Miami game we should've won.
The Dos Equis guy wishes he was Brock Lesnar.
Brian Russell is like the anti-Nick Reed.
Or maybe he is Nick Reed in disguise. Were they ever on he field at the same time? Reed couldn’t get a better disguise than Russell.
They were on the field during preseason
But we all know Nick Reed’s cloaking and cloning abilities.
The Dos Equis guy wishes he was Brock Lesnar.
Well I can't wait for him to cost a young and exciting team a playoff birth with a few timely gaffes.
A few timely gaffes being a late hit that sends him flying over the pile and into Andre Johnson’s knee.
It's a tough spot
I want Houston to make the playoffs but Brian Russell doesn’t deserve another taste of the postseason.
I also want B-Russ to do something stupid for old times sake but considering how great the Texans SB Nation blog is I don’t think they should suffer.

Steven Colbert would have been better...
I know hindsight is 20/20, and all of us have called a boom or bust at one point or another, but I’m prettty sure we ALL were going WTF at the Colbert trade.

If it's not Miami and it's not Chicago
I give up on the NBA. Although after that awful NBA Finals I’m already headed there.
The Dos Equis guy wishes he was Brock Lesnar.
They've also run out of top class free agents to sign
LeBron needs his Pau Gasol. Kobe got over the hump once they traded Kwame Brown for Gasol in a highway robbery. Stoudemire was available and Cleveland didn’t bite.
If LeBron wants to win a ring this year he can’t stay in Cleveland.
The Dos Equis guy wishes he was Brock Lesnar.
Well if LeBron really wants to play with Stoudemire he's got the chance to now.
I keep thinking I want him to go to New York and then I remember D’Antoni and I change my mind.
It's entirely possible LeBron is announcing he's playing wideout for the Browns

He'll have to beat out Engram for a roster spot.

Awful?
I thought it was an exciting series.
Granted, I didn’t really care for a Lakers vs. Celtics rematch, because I wanted a Finals where two teams hadn’t faced each in the finals before (Phoenix and Orlando), but it was pretty exciting overall.
Golden!
by Carl Shinyama on Jul 8, 2010 7:33 PM PDT up reply actions
Lots of close games, lots of ugly basketball, lots of terrible offense
If this wasn’t Lakers/Celtics the media would not consider this a classic.
The only thing good was the outcome and it’s Boston not winning a title.
The Dos Equis guy wishes he was Brock Lesnar.
Don't care what the media says or think.
I was just happy that it went 7 games, and game 7 was bad to the bone!
Golden!
by Carl Shinyama on Jul 8, 2010 8:51 PM PDT up reply actions
That game was terrible
But the last minute pretty much made up for it. Artest making that three had me out of my chair.
The Dos Equis guy wishes he was Brock Lesnar.
Agreed.
My interest in the NBA is only slightly more than my interest in soccer.

That's the way I feel about baseball now.
Since the team with the highest payroll wins – and that is always NY, fuck baseball. They need some form of salary cap like the NBA or NFL. Baseball has gotten is ridiculous.
Red Bryant: surprise us!
The more I think about it, the more I can't wait for August so we can restart
ME! BANE!
The Dos Equis guy wishes he was Brock Lesnar.
So the 'Hawks are due to be good this year, right?
I mean the Mariners and Sounders suck and the Storm don’t count. So we have to have one good team, right? Right??!
Jake Locker is playing defense.
Linebacker, safety, and end.
The Dos Equis guy wishes he was Brock Lesnar.
I heard that Reed is going to disguise himself...
as Nick Reed the walkon. The NCAA will grant him 11 years of eligibility, he will use them all up in one year playing for 11 teams, including both the Ducks and Huskies. He will wear a Nike custom uni that features a chromatic purple/green/silver/gold finish, and holographically displays teh correct emblem based on the earth’s rotation.
He is awarded, but refuses to accept, the Heisman trophy because it will interfere with his court appearance for decapitating all 11 players on a kickoff return team in a Seahawks game in early October.

Actually, I'd like some thoughts...
what does a player have to do to be Jersey-able?
No idea, but I'd buy happily the jersey of the following:
Carlson
Big Walt
Mebane
Pistol
Schmitt
Tate
Lofa
by Mickapeckalin on Jul 8, 2010 4:13 PM PDT up reply actions
Yes, I also would like a Pistol jersey.
Haven’t seen one available, though.
And it’s probably the only jersey I could wear in which I look semi-close to the appropriate size. Other than Jennings. And we know that’s just not going to happen.
They're definitely available
at those lame stores in the mall that have jerseys of every popular player from around the league. This is the case for Tacoma, at least.
I'd get an Okung jersey
Offensive linemen seem to have the most longevity when it comes to NFL careers, and The O-King should kick ass for a long time to boot!
I bought a replica Shaun Alexander after he won the MVP
and I bought a #5 USC jersey the season before Reggie won the Heisman.
[DELETED ZOMG NO POLITICS]
Great question
I’m more cautious with it. I’ve got walt, Shawn springs and Tats. Been hesitant to get the next one.
by jacobstevens on Jul 8, 2010 7:15 PM PDT via mobile up reply actions
Haha, I have the most random two jerseys.
Both pre-Seahawk loving days.
Keyshawn Johnson, Jets
Air McNair, Titans.
I ran across a Michael Bennet one
The other day at Value Village
2/3 of the world is covered by water. The rest is covered by Marcus Trufant.
I'm kinda poor
So I bought the jersey of a guy who I predicted would be a Seahawk and good for most of his career: Carlson. Really close to Burleson, kinda wanted Forsett.
Though they sink through the Sea, they shall rise again...Death shall have no dominion...
I've actually never owned one!
But I wanted to buy one this last year, thought I was going to get one for Christmas, but Santa left me hangin. I’m also an ND fan, so Tate or Carlson would be a good one for me to get.
I saw a green Ford Escape Hybrid in my neighborhood today
With a Seahawks season ticket holder license plate frame and Washington plates.
I live in Los Angeles

I'm guessing it drove

I saw about 20 times more hate for the televised announcement than I still have seen for the announcement itself.
by jacobstevens on Jul 8, 2010 7:17 PM PDT via mobile up reply actions
That's such BS
He played for a team for 7 years, now he is playing for a different team. How many people do you know (from his generation) that works for the same company for more than 7 years? And when they leave, everyone wishes them good luck.
Really?
Don’t have to show off ignorance that blatantly. This is not A-Rod the second, or Josh Brown who went to one of the worst teams in the league for more money, this is a guy that is taking LESS and didn’t get a sign and trade.
That would have been better for Cleveland, so I’m guessing if he asked for it, he would have gotten it.
This is clearly about playing with these particular players and winning.
I'ts not that he left,
it’s how he left. It was a pretty dick move, I think, to hype up the announcement with his own 1 hour special and then turn on his hometown like that. If he wanted to play for a championship, that’s great, but he could have been a little more discreet in order to show some respect to the people in Cleveland who have supported him for the last 7 years.
Also, you gotta love this quote.
One thing I didn’t want to do was make an emotional decision. I wanted to do what’s best for LeBron James and to do what makes LeBron James happy.
by Mind of no mind on Jul 9, 2010 2:28 AM PDT up reply actions
So... happiness is not an emotion?
Or LeBron meant that his own emotions weren’t involved, he was acting for LeBron’s happiness. Jason_D understands.
About 30 million less, from my understanding.
And he has to share the spotlight in Miami. I think it’s a refreshing discard of ego, money in favor of team and winning. And locale. ;)
Red Bryant: surprise us!
If LeBron's move to Miami made him a heel, Dan Gilbert made him a face again.
I mean, have you read the temper tantrum he wrote for the team website after the announcement? Seriously. Dude has nobody to blame for what’s happened but himself. Maybe if they didn’t surround LeBron with stiffs like Varejao, Mo Williams and Shaq’s reanimated corpse, he wouldn’t have felt the need to move. Maybe if they made any sort of moves at all to trade or sign some other players in the past week, he has a change of heart. He knew that that team was never going to win a title, and didn’t want to spend another 6 years putting himself through the meat grinder just for another second-round exit while the rest of the team stands and watches, then misses any open shot they get.
And I’d love to see how they plan to win a title before LeBron does. Right now I’m setting the over-under for Cav wins at a very generous 29 1/2.
FG's second favorite football-illiterate semi-troll.
I can't wait to see Mebane smash the hell out of
Sam Bradford.
It's Great to be a Florida Gator!
What the french, toast?
I want to see:
Mebane, Vickerson, and Red sitting in the backfield around Bradford’s dismembered corpse, laughing and swapping stories, like the 3 trolls from The Hobbit.
My Mebane gets all the dwarves in the pot.
My 3 tech is better than yours.
No! I says we sit on 'im and squish 'im.
’E’d make fine stew though…

The Hawks will go deep into the playoffs, if not to the superbowl
Let explain. I was based overseas from 2000 until 2008, which means that I had to hope AFN would cover the games and then watch them at around midnight to 1 in the morning. The Hawks were good during most of this time and I lost a lot of sleep in the fall.
I’ve been in the states the last three years and have paid for NFL sunday ticket superfan to watch in HD. We have sucked since I have been back in the states.
So on to my prediction.
I’m deploying in January. Which means I will the playoffs. Which means that the Seahawks will naturally be in the playoffs, because thats how it always ends up happening.
CHANGE THE HOMEFIELD SONG
“Bittersweet Symphony” is NOT a football song!!
