  1. I'm in Seattle. At one time I had both Bills and Seahawks season tickets (Bills since 1987, Seahawks since 1993). Used to enjoy Seahawks game and cheered for them except when they played Buffalo.

     

    The second year of Pete Carroll I dumped my tickets. The bandwagon was overloaded with people who don't know @#$@ about football, they're obnoxious and ignorant. No way am I ever cheering for Richard Sherman, Marshawn Lynch of a bunch of guys on adderol who cheat their way through games. Ugh.

  2. Training camp starts in what, 2 weeks? Unload him NOW before he becomes a mid-season distraction. It's one thing for two coaches to fight and have one put the other's head through the locker room wall...but going "high school macho" on a bunch of kids, in front of YOUR kid (who from the story was probably embarrassed and ashamed of his dad) is outside of enough.

     

    I vote he goes. As Sam Wyche once said 'YOU'RE NOT IN CLEVELAND!"

  3. I got ST free and they also cut my monthly bill by $30 (for 12 months).

     

    I was nice. My talk track was that I've been a customer for over 10 years, and it hurts to go to the website and see $200 gift cards (but not for me) and $19.99 programming (but not for me). I said if I had to cancel my service and then come back to get those deals I would, but it didn't make sense. And she agreed with me.

     

    She said to call back after the Superbowl next year to get more free stuff.

  4. i was hoping you would weigh in on the local pulse of this! Must be a lot of chicken littles in the Pacific NW right about now.

    It's a roller coaster for them. One day they're in your face and the next they are rending their garments. This is just not a great sports town. They actually BRAG about being recent newcomers to football. Many of the diehards are almost longing for the days when the Seahawks were marginal just so they can have their team back. I used to enjoy going to games but then it just became a hassle. Do you know, the Jumbotron is used to tell those idiots to be quiet while the team's on offense? Never saw that in another stadium.

  5. It's fun to watch. Every year, Least Mode (the guy who's 2-for-7 inside the 5 for TD's, which is why Carroll opted to pass) plays hard to get and they throw money at him. He tells everyone to !@#$ off, more money. Meanwhile Russell Wilson, Mr. Nice Guy (and average QB at best) is ignored, still playing Nice Guy. While the ethically-challenged Pete Carroll, who'll throw his mom under the bus if he furthers his cause, is on a pedestal even higher than Lynch.

     

    Since most of the "fans" here don't remember the name of the last coach before Carroll (Mora), never heard of Shaun Alexander or can't recall if it's "Krieg" or "Kreig" or "Craig"....its just fun to watch.

     

    The Seahawks don't have an allegiance to Wilson. Unless he has an amazing year, or unless there's no-one else available, he'll be gone in 2016. The Seahawks made their bones on defense and just enough offense, plus a whole lotta luck. It won't last.

     

    Fun fun fun!

  6. The families of the victims have set forth the example of what it means to be Christian. When someone wrongs you, you forgive. You don't judge. You don't use Jesus as a sledge to force people to see things your way, or act as you think they should.

  7. Does anyone know if the Cowboys is sold out? I'm not eligible until tomorrow at 9AM. Thanks.

    Cowboys, Pats, Colts, Giants all gone.

    I haven't lived in Western NY since 1995 but faithfully renewed and upgraded my tickets to Club Seats over the years. I don't even want to know how much money I've lost when I couldn't even GIVE my tickets away. I try not to think about it. This year, however, I might even be able to get a little $ for the pre-season tickets. I'll be attending 4 games also, I can't wait!

  8. No kidding - was online at 6 am this morning to buy some pre-sale tickets for a friend. The website wait was 30 minutes and it took me 45 minutes to get through on the phone. I'm limited to 2 transactions, and total of 6 tickets, per game. The agent told me that the only thing available for the season opener now is club seats (starting at $179 each).

     

    I do see there are some good seats on eBay.

  9. I always liked Taylor. But accuracy is easy when you're not in imminent danger of being crushed by an opponent. Most of what I saw when he played was him running for his life. Russell Wilson is accurate while running for his life (which he wasn't on that last pass in the SB), if Taylor has that skill I'll jump off the EJ bandwagon. For right now though I think we haven't really seen what EJ is capable of. This is his pivotal year - he's going to have to show something early. IMHO.
