    #DFG: Canceling the Noise

      He's been praising them pretty much every step of the way this year.   "As several teams aged out of the playoffs over the weekend, Dallas and Denver especially, New England plays on, thanks to a team that thinks."

    #DFG: Canceling the Noise

    My mistake, I guess I must be imagining all the praising of Belichick & co. that goes on during every broadcast, by Peter King, over at PFT, etc.    It is possible to understand that the media is blowing this out of proportion without thinking that it's due to some PATRIOTS HATE agenda.  I think...

    #DFG: Canceling the Noise

    There's a persecution complex going on here which is very strange to me.  The Patriots aren't some hated team, at all.  If anything, it's the opposite - Old White Men love fawning over The Patriot Way and the Genius of Belichick and whatnot.  If this happened to the Seahawks, or the 49ers, or...

    #DFG: Canceling the Noise

    With Browner it started with PEDs (well, Adderall) and then the following year it was supposedly weed (I think, I can't recall if it ever actually came out what he tested positive for).

    #DFG: Canceling the Noise

    Honest question - do people really think that if this story was coming from the other side, i.e. if the underinflated balls belonged to the Seahawks, that the media fire storm wouldn't be as bad? It's not about some grudge against the Patriots, it's about a semi-stupid "controversy" which can be...

    #DFG: Canceling the Noise

    Weirdly, the guy who got nailed the hardest for PED/drug use is now playing for the Patriots.  The rest aren't even on the Seahawks, and almost none were key contributors to last year's title.

    #DFG: Canceling the Noise

    Based upon what is generally understood about the personalities that make up the Seahawks, I can more or less guarantee that not a single one of them is walking around expecting anything less than an absolute onslaught from the Patriots.  I'd be surprised if guys like Earl Thomas have stopped...

    NFC Championship Game Thread

    Wait, what am I missing here?   From the NFL rules, Rule 6, Article 3(c): "At least four players of the kicking team must be on each side of the kicker."

    2014 Seattle Seahawks: Bittersweet Symphony

    It's weird, I switched jobs a while back and couldn't get on the site at work, so I more or less forgot this place existed.  Even after switching jobs again, when I could get on SoSH, I never got around to contributing again.   Anyway, the NFC championship nearly killed me last weekend, and I'm...

    2014 Seattle Seahawks: Bittersweet Symphony

    Hi folks.  Been a while.  Nice to see Danoooo still rolling around here.   Haven't visited this forum much for a couple years, but since the Seahawks are matched up against the Pats, I figured it was time for a return.    Cheers.

    Penn State AD and Sandusky Charged

    N...no. That's not even close to being correct. The "problem" for Penn State is that many of its alumni and fans are more outraged about an outside hire than they were about children getting raped in the football showers. Or, if you want to make it slightly less damning for Penn State, the...

    His insistence on trying to "figure out" these things is one of his most irritating traits. You know why Green Bay is so good? They've got the best quarterback on the planet right now. Period. The other star/skill players are a major asset, but Rodgers is the catalyst. And can he shut the...

    Why Do I Continue to Read Peter King?

    I continue to read Peter King so that I can laugh harder when Drew Magary eviscerates him every Monday morning over on Kissing Suzy Kolber.

    I actually came in here to post about Kang. I've thought that everything I've read of his thus far was complete garbage, but I just read his piece on the Marquez/Pacquiao fight. Now, I'm a casual boxing fan, but by no means am I a die-hard, and I didn't watch this particular fight. However, I...

    Holy fucking shit JackO. There are valid reasons to hate UConn - some of which he brings up. (Calhoun's a cranky old asshole, they've had some questionable clowns on the team, etc.) However, the examples he uses for these are completely ridiculous, particularly the bandwagon fans thing (which...

    It's an Easterbrook piece. That makes it a bad read by default.

    Funny, because I read that Lambert piece and thought it was completely terrible - just garbage.

    This statement makes so much more sense to me when I read your tagline first.
