Good Luck to the Seahawks

by The Bradfather Strikes Back on Sep 3, 2011 11:27 PM PDT

In case any of you are not familiar with my ID, this is really The New Bradfather, and I use a new title because SB Nation nailed me for a throttle violation.

Anyway, I am going through NFL teams alphabetically in my preview and today is Seahawks Day so here we go.

Already, Pete Carroll has ushered in a new quarterback era and if my Facebook friends, WeeHawk Seahawk and gorgeous Sea Gal Rachel Collins are any indication, Charlie Whitehurst should get the nod over Tarvaris Jackson and when the Seahawks played my Broncos last week, t looked like Mr. Jesus Beard was the better option.

Of course, that's what I thought in the Vikings' game the week before, but when I have seen Tarvaris Jackson, it just seems like he's punchless and doesn't have the fire Whitehurst has. Of course, if I'm wrong, feel free to call me out.

I do think Golden Tate has an opportunity to do some great things at wideout and I thank you so much for taking one of the Faiders' few reliable options away, in new tight end Zach Miller.

Marshawn Lynch and Justin Forsett are solid options in the backfield and I think Sidney Rice will be a much better Vikings acquisition than T-Jack for what it is worth.

Defensively, I think Aaron Curry and Chris Clemons can make solid contributions and like several Seahawks fans friends I have stated, there seems to be a youth movement while Carroll has instilled a more propitious attitude for Seahawks players than previous regimes have shown, so that is also a positive.

Incidentally, Atari was always my favorite toy when I was a little kid, so I have always been a fan of Atari Bigby's name, as well as his game and I trust he will provide solid leadership for the Hawks.

While the Rams look really good on paper, I think the Seahawks have enough pieces in place to challenge for the NFC West crown once again, if Charlie gets the nod anyway.

In closing, I am so glad that the Broncos and Seahawks are no longer divisional rivals, because now I don't have to feel guilty about Seattle doing well.

The gray helmets with the blue hawk and the blue jerseys from the Kingdome era were epic and since I am a devout, practicing Mormon, my church owns the Seahawks' flagship radio station as part of Bonneville International, so that's another asset!

Additionally, in the past few months, for some strange reason, I've become an addict of the TV show Frasier and the actor that plays Martin shares a birthday with me (June 20) so I wish good luck to the Seahawks while Frasier and Niles eat at some snooty French restaurant.

Thanks for reading and I shall return!

I haven’t thought about that show in years.

Really an awesome show.

Seasons 2ish to 7ish are in my top 3 of shows ever.

Agreed, when it's on it's fantastic.

Pitch-perfect satire with “machine-tooled one-liners”. That quote, by the way, was from John Cleese, citing Fraser as Exhibit A for— at the time— the supremacy of American sitcoms to British ones.

What's a throttle violation?

The only thought I have about the QBOTF is how big Carroll's smile would be if he snatched Andrew Luck away from Jim Harbaugh.

When you allegedly post spam

SB Nation executes you, it was unjust but I can’t take these dolts to court, so I did what I could to get back in the game. It really sucks

Surely there was at least a private review of your case.

Was your content truly 100% spam-free? I don’t mean to sound like an asshole, just curious.

Yeah, that's not an answer.

I would like to point out that this guy scored five throttle violations in just one day and was banned from several blogs for trolling.

So you’re on a pretty short leash already.

That really sucks Bradfather

I’m sure of your innocence and am disgusted at your unjust mistreatment. By the way everyone, a friend of mine set up a website selling discounted designer clothes and penis enlargement pills. Their prices can’t be beat. Let me know if interested

They were all divisional rivals

except for the Bears, but I’m sure you have great rapports with Niners, Cards and Rams fans, right?

I was banned for a throttle violation once

It was obviously in error, so I just mailed a blog manager (John Morgan) to get him to ask a SBN higherup to take a look at it, and I was unbanned within a day. Your story doesn’t add up.

I'm wishing the Seahawks good luck as well...

I am the Vikings fan that went site to site trying to get the fan’s opinions on who their teams might draft… don’t know if you remember me…

Anyways, I picked the Seahawks, but I’m cringing, because they aren’t starting Whitehurst… as far as I can tell.
I’m scared about this pick, it could be worth a pretty penny to me.

I would feel a little more confident if Whitehurst were playing. I was never a Vikings fan that truly hated TJax… He was alright… But I’m not sure how he will handle the transition to another team. He lacks that “it” factor. I feel that Charlie has that passion, he has the fight in him, he just needs to get on the field for an extended amount of time. He looked pretty impressive this pre-season.

Again, GOOD LUCK SEAHAWKS!
