Cut to the BULLSHIT!
I have had enough of watching these dam Seahawks get trounce every dam week for a month straight now. The game against Tampa Bay wasn't a must have but at least put up a fucking fight. Dam you Seachickens dam you Charlie and dam you the whole fucking team. Matt gets hurt and bye fucking gosh Whitehurst plays like a fucking bitch that he his. His first pass was a quick pass that goes 8 fucking feet in the air. I have lost all faith that this team can beat the St. Louis Rams on Sunday. I can't even stand to watch this team on Sunday's now. I honestly don't know what the fuck just happen the last 9 games. This teams has more holes than a donkeys asshole. The more I think about it the more I get frustrated that Fox can't show a game worth watching. Maybe the answer to next season is to get PLAYERS that WANT to fucking WIN Pete. Get rid of the whole offensive staff because Jeremy Bates can't find his balls and cock. That moron calls the worst plays in the NFL. Get rid of Sean Locklear that fat fuck can't play even if he knows the proper techniques as a matter of fact get rid of the whole dame offensive line that includes Russell Okung and has brittle injured fucking ankle. The defense is constantly on the dam field because the offense licks monkeys ass. I had high hopes for this season but it has been all but gone now that the Rams are the team to BEAT. Charlie I hope you fucking play like a man and prove me wrong on why the Hawks gave up a good third round pick for your bitch ass. Maybe after the game you should announce your retirement and go back to where ever you came from because you can't play in this league. What the Hawks should do is trade up to the top half of the draft and take either Ryan Mallet of Arkansas or if Blaine Gabbert of Missouri comes out take him in the bottom half of the first round but in all they NEED to address the quarterback position and they need to do it fast. This should have been taken care of a few years ago when the SIGNS of Matt was getting hurt. All this talk of we are still in the hunt for a division title is BULLSHIT. Get your SHIT TOGETHER Pete or get the FUCK OUT OF TOWN. Don't preach to me this RAH RAH shit because it is getting old and this is not college where you can turn a blind eye to the fans. Didn't you learn from the two jobs you had with the Jets and Patriots Pete? The NFL is built for players and coaches who want to WIN. This is a league where the BEST comes to play and WIN GAMES not a league built for LOSERS like the Seahawks. Keep losing and you will soon find yourself out of a job and the League Pete. It goes the same for the players too. With that said this team better prove me wrong and put up a good fucking game but those chances are slim to none with Whitehurst at the helm. Sam Bradford and Steven Jackson are probably going to have a field day because the offense can't score and the defense will eventually tire out and give up big plays. If the Hawks defense score three touchdowns that might help but that is probably not going to happen.

Michael Vick and DeSean Jackson
Vick and Jackson are the two most dangerous football players in the NFL right now. What Philadelphia did to the New York Giants was amazing. The Giants blew a 21 point lead with seven minutes left to let the game slip away on their home turf. Vick has been a outstanding quarterback all season and to his credit he has improve as one of the better quarterback of the NFL. Vick will be in the running for MVP along with Tom Brady. DeSean Jackson is a dynamite waiting to explode every time he touches the ball. Teams has to game plan around Jackson because of his ability to take a short pass and turn it into a touchdown. Jackson is a player every team wants to have because of his skill set. His ability to take punts and take them home is dangerous. The Giants punter made a huge mistake by not kicking the ball out of bounds. Jackson fumbles the ball first and then picks it up and runs it back 65 yards with no time left on the clock and the Eagles win and take a one game lead over the Giants in the NFC East. The Eagles will be a team to be reckoning with when the playoffs start. Vick is playing like a beast and willing the Eagles to wins when the team is down. This Eagles team is a tough team to beat especially when they are playing like this. All I have to say is keep it up Eagles and this team and ownership found their quarterback in Michael Vick. Be on the straight path Michael and all the success you had in Atlanta will come back to you again.
Two Straight weeks and not a single improvement!
Alright I've been gone long enough without saying anything due to my work load at work. But lets rewind the last two weeks of what is going on the the Seattle Seahawks. First off the lost to the San Francisco 49ners was a blow and thankfully the St. Louis Rams lost to the New Orleans Saints. Now forward to December 19, 2010 against the Atlanta Falcons. This game was a lost from the start and the Hawks played like they are ready to pack it up and go into the off season. Matt has been a prime reason for the losses but it is the whole dam team that continues to regress and not help out the cause of winning. Yes people are calling for Charlie Whitehurst but in the end this team will have the same results with Matt in the game. Again I would like to thank the St. Louis Rams for losing against the Kansas City Chiefs to help us out. The NFC West is a joke and everybody is laughing at this division. No matter who comes out of this division they will get stomped out. I still cling to some hope that the Hawks will get it together but that hope is going away really fast. There is a combination of things that needs to be fix with the Hawks and I think it will start with the quarterback being replace next season. This team can only get better but when it happens is the question that everybody is asking. The fans are impatience with Matt and I can see why. The offense is struggling mightily and the defense is being picked apart. I can't honestly tell you about the coaching staff right now. Pete might what to think about getting a new offensive coordinator because Jeremy Bates has been calling horrible plays throughout the season. There is two games left, one on the road against Tampa Bay on Sunday and one at home against the St. Louis Rams that can decide the division. Just win both of these games please. That is all I'm asking of you Seattle.

Seahawks finally come Alive vs the Carolina Panthers
What a ride the Hawks has put the fans through on a very special Sunday that included the jersey hanging of the BEST left tackle to ever play the game in a Hawks uniform. I wished the Hawks wouldn't wait so long to finally trounce the dead-end last place Panthers yesterday. In all phases of the game they finally put together a game plan and stuck to the script. The Hawks are in dire need to fix the receivers core with big Mike Williams and Ben Obomanu hurt. But I was glad to see that the running game came alive somewhat and that Marshawn Lynch scored three times. Matt still has the interception bug a boo but I will live with it as long as the Hawks win. Everything about yesterday in the second half finally clicked and the team started to play like a team. The first two quarters was awful but they kept it manageable and came out strong in the second half. It was also great to see Lofa Tatupu make that pick six and energize the defense. The defensive players of the game to me are Lofa and Chris Clemons. I can't wait for this team to get Colin Cole back so we can finally have some of the big ugly back to strengthen that front seven. Even though this win came against the 1 win Panthers it was a very important game for the Hawks to win to keep in line with the St. Louis Rams. Now we need to take care of the San Francisco 49ners on Sunday and hope that the New Orleans Saints take care of the Rams so the Hawks can take the lead again in the division. I have a feeling that the division will not be settled until the last game of the season when the Hawks play the Rams. Big shout out to the coaching staff for finally making the correct moves for this game. I still believe the division is ours to take. Stay focus Hawks. Please don't disappoint the thousands of fans that support you 365 days a year.
Huskies Are HOLIDAY BOWL bound.
This has been one great and interesting season for the Washington Huskies. The decision for Jake Locker to come back for his last season was a good one and well worth it. For this team the sky is the limit. Chris Polk is one heck of a running back. Coach Sark made the correct calls by giving him the ball and letting him run over and around Washington State defenders. There was a tremendous about of pressure from the public on this team with how the 2009 season ended with a 5-7 record. Coming into the 2010 season the public expected this team to be a 7-8 winning team. I'm just happy for a bowl game let alone 6 wins to get to the Holiday Bowl versus Nebraska. Yes I understand that the Corn Huskers put a ass whooping to the DAWGS earlier this year but that was a Washington that was reeling and was playing without a whole lot of confidence. This game will be a lot different for the Huskies for the fact that this is the first time in 8 years that they have been to a bowl game. Congratulations to the whole team and the coaches for putting together a great game plan against the Washington State Cougars. Now let take it to Nebraska and send Jake Locker out with a bowl win and look forward to the 2011 season.

Chiefs run wild on Seahawks
What is going on over there at Seahawks headquarters that the Kansas City Chiefs and their power running game can come into Qwest Field and stomp them out. This game was a big let down for the team and fans. I was expecting a good game and a good out come but I end up getting a ugly result on both sides of the ball. Yes Mike Williams was out with a foot sprain but that doesn't mean the passing game should be off. Yes Matt had another decent game with 250 plus yards and 2 touchdowns and 2 picks but gosh dang it he is doing what he can with who is out there. Once again Pete decides to piss away 3 points on the first possession at the goal line with a 4th down pass in the end zone, agressive move yes maybe too agressive. This team at one point in the season looked ready to take the lead in the division but now it has looked like they have taken a few steps back to regroup and gain some new confidence. Everything starts with coaching and maybe Pete needs to look at the game tapes and figure out what he is doing wrong. The defense was getting pummeled in every direction on the field weather it be the passing or running game. At one point of the season the defense was the strength of the team, now it is one of the weakness that needs to fixed and once again it starts with coaching either its Pete or Gus Bradley needs to take control and fix this problem. The Seahawks running game was by far the biggest disappoint other than the defense. What are the Hawks doing with this running game. How do they only manage 20 yards on 12 attemps? This kind of running numbers worries me about this team. I have no clue on how to get a quick fix for the running game but as of right now the Hawks will not have a running game for the rest of the season as I see it. They have moved away from running and have gone to a all out passing game. The defense that was play yesterday was horrordous and embrassing. Jamaal Charles ran over, around and through all the Hawks defense for 173 yards on 22 attemps. Matt Cassel 22-32 for 233 yards and 4 touchdowns. Dwayne Bowe 13 catches for 170 yards and 3 touchdowns. The Chiefs are a good team and they came in ready to put a beat down on the Hawks and that is excatly what they did at Qwest. The Hawks have 3 of the next 5 at home there are some games that needs to be won at home or they can forget about making it to the playoffs. As of right now St. Louis has grab the lead for the NFC West. The Carolina Panthers come in on Sunday with a 1-10 and 0-5 on the road, this should be a winnable game. If they think this is a easy game the Hawks mind as well pack up and go on vacation and refund their fans their money. I still believe we can make the playoffs but this is the last straw that will break the camels back if they lose to the Panthers. The numbers don't lie Pete, Jeremy Bates and Gus Bradley get this team on the right track before you start losing the support of the fans.

Brees has a field day with Hawks Secondary
The New Orleans Saints is a all out passing team with great height with their wide receivers. The Saints use the passing game to set up the run game because they don't have a every down back. It was a site to see with the Hawks corners going up against Robert Meachem, Lance Moore and Marques Colston all standing 6'4" and above going up against 5'11" corners. Seattle secondary has always been small in size and that has been their biggest weakness on defense because the other teams continue to pick on Kelly Jennings and Marcus Trufant. There was countless times that Brees would throw the ball up and one of the tall receivers would go up and grab it. Now to the Hawks credit they didn't give up, they all continued to compete and give it their best. Matt had another good passing game and pretty much carried the offense with Mike Williams and the receivers getting the most attention. I'm disappointed in the run game right now because it is not doing what its suppose to do. Also the offensive line looks good with Russell Okung back at left tackle and they kept Matt up right for most of the game. It was good to see that Matt is playing well with that wrist injury and not making dumb decision with the ball. Once again Earl Thomas Jr. comes up with a interception that makes it 5 for the year. All in all this game would have been a tough one from the get go. New Orleans needed this to keep pace with Atlanta in the division and wild card spot. Every team in the NFC West lost on Sunday so the Hawks still have the lead on the division. Now this coming Sunday they have the Kansas City Chiefs coming to Qwest and they need to win this game for the fact that it's a home game and the same applies to the week after when Carolina Panthers come in. But they need to focus this week on the Chiefs and how to stop their run game with Thomas Jones and Jamaal Charles. Let's go Hawks bring it home.

Crown Him- Here comes the KING
For once the Baseball Writers of America Associations got the Cy Young right. The voters finally see that wins and losses doesn't matter when it comes to a individual award. Felix Hernandez played on a crappy Seattle Mariners team that lost 101 games, but his performance on the mound every five days was something the voters could not over look. He either was 1st or second in all major league pitching catagories this year. Yes he only has 13 wins but his ERA, innings pitch and strikeouts were out of this world for a guy playing on a losing team. People can argue all they want about David Price and C.C. Sabithia getting robbed but those two guys are playing on teams that are going to make the post season every year and both of their teams has great pitching rotation. The Seattle Mariners don't have much of a rotation all they have is King Felix. The Mariners offense was so horrible that Felix had to pitch great games with a one or two run lead and make it work to a victory, now that's is dominate pitching for you. Way to go King Felix Herandez keep it up and continue to bring home the awards that you deserves. Dave Niehaus is probably singing a tune for you and is looking down on you Felix.

Michael Vick is back to being himself on the Field
Records are meant to be broken and replace by others and that is exactly what Michael Vick and the Philadelphia Eagles did on Monday against the Washington Redskins. The Redskins defense had no answer on how to stop Andy Reid's play calling. The first play of the game Vick's bombs a 88 yards pass to Desean Jackson for a touchdown and it starts a series of scores from there on. By the end of the first quarter it was 28-0 and after that the vleeding didn't stop.Vick completed his first 10 passes in the first quarter and was unstoppable. He ended the game with 20-28 for 333 yards passing and 80 yards rushing. He passed Steve Young for second place behind Randall Cunningham for most quarterback rushing yards. Vick in this season has not thrown a interception all year and has the hightest rated quarterback rating in the league. He is back to his old self you can say by the way he is moving and finding the open targets. Defense has to account and game plan around this guy because he will kill the defense on a given play. Even when the Redskins tried to put a spy on Vick it still didn't work because he was to elusive for the spy. His legs is dangerous but his arm and accuracy is what makes him special right now. During his time in Atlanta he would run every time he got pressued, now he takes the time to go through his reads and makes the correct pass or takes off and get yards with his legs. Vick is the third person to have 300 yards plus, 4 touchdown passes and 2 rushing touchdowns in NFL history. This season has been really good for a guy that hasn't played a full season in a long time. Vick has done what is asked of him since the dog killings and he is taking everything in stride. Way to go Michael. Keep it up man. And thanks for being there for me in my fastany league. Big props to the Philly front office to sign and put Vick in the drivers seat this season.

Great Win Over Arizona
What a great game Matt Hasselbeck had yesterday over the Arizona Cardinals. This is after missing last weeks game versus the New York Giants due to a minor head injury. Nobody can predict that number 8 will go 22-34 for 333 yards and 1 touchdown and 0 interception for the game. For the first time since 2005 the Seahawks swept the two games they have played. The Hawks defense was outstanding yesterday with holding the Cardinals on third downs forcing them to go 2-11 and then 0-2 on fourth downs. Chris Clemons and company made life really hard on Derek Anderson in the pocket. everybody on defense did their job. Thank you Mike Williams for showing up and giving his all. Williams had 11 catches for 145 yards, only thing missing is a touchdown or two but Williams played a awesome game. The running game did their part and got it going with Lynch and Foresett gashing through the defensive line and getting positive yards.Overall there was minimal mistakes that was made yesterday. My only grip is that Pete Carrol decided to go for it at the goal line and Matt hurts his non throwing hand and to start the third quarter Whitehurst comes in and throws a pick. Matt has proved time and time again that he is the best option at the quarterback spot until the Hawks find his replacement. The Hawks are 3-1 in division play and can take the NFC West with wins over the 49ners and St. Louis Rams. They play really tough teams to close out the season starting with going to New Orleans and playing the Saints. After the Saints they play Kansas City, Carolina, Atlanta, San Francisco, Tampa Bay and St. Louis. It is really important that they get focused and close out the games to remain atop of the division. The Hawks have a two game lead over everybody else in the division. So in ending lets go to New Orleans and get a key win and show the league the Hawks will be a team to wreck with win the playoffs start. I'm all in.

R.I.P. Dave Niehaus
Thank you for all the great memories you have bought to me Mr. Dave Niehaus. Baseball will never be the same again for us in the city of Seattle. It will be very tough to listen to somebody else calling the game on radio broadcast. You will be missed sorely from the whole city. Today we lost the greatest announcer to ever call a game in baseball. This is one of the best memories I have of Mr. Niehaus calling a game the 1995 ALDS versus the New York Yankees:
"Right now, the Mariners looking for the tie. They would take a fly ball, they would love a base hit into the gap and they could win it with Junior's speed. The stretch ... and the 0-1 pitch on the way to Edgar Martinez, swung on and LINED DOWN THE LEFT-FIELD LINE FOR A BASE HIT! HERE COMES JOEY, HERE IS JUNIOR TO THIRD BASE, THEY'RE GOING TO WAVE HIM IN! THE THROW TO THE PLATE WILL BE ... LATE! THE MARINERS ARE GOING TO PLAY FOR THE AMERICAN LEAGUE CHAMPIONSHIP! I DON'T BELIEVE IT! IT JUST CONTINUES! MY OH MY!"
May you, Mr. Niehaus brings us the M's fan and organization a World Series from the Heavens above us.

Dallas Cowboys
This has been a long time coming for this team to fire Wade Phillips, so many problems that needs to be resolve and Jerry Jones knows its starts with the head coach. The Cowboys are currently 1-7 and is in dead last in the division. This team had high expectations coming into this season but all was lost when they went 1-2 thru three games and then losing five straight with the last two games being by major blow outs. Yeah the injury lost of Tony Romo hurt them badly but it is no excuse to be losing like how they lost. This is the right move by Jerry Jones to fire Wade at the mid way point of the season and let Jason Garrett take over. I'm not a Dallas fan but everybody knew that this was coming. Also every Sunday people on ESPN, Sunday Night Football, CBS and Fox continue to hound the living crap about Phillips head being chopped of and today it finally happen. This team could be good if they had the mental capacity to pull it together and compete but all was lost when Romo broke his collar bone. The Cowboys have former Seahawks and Bengals quarterback Jon Kitna as their starter now and it will be a very long eight games for this team. In the second half of the season they play teams that will be in the playoff hunt so the margin of victory is very slim. This team is looking to finish second to the Buffalo Bills who are in dead last in the league without a win. This kind of start for Dallas is unusual but this team and organization will eventually bounce back and be good again.

Just Keep the Losses coming.
From the start of the game I knew this was going to be a horrible game by the shithawks. The New York Giants came into Qwest Field and absolutely took a fat shit on the Hawks. I have now lost all hope for this season. There is no chance this team gets to the playoffs even if they do get to the playoff they will be bounce from the playoff in a quick way. I turned the game off at halftime when it was 35-0. What a disappoint the last three weeks it has been rooting for this team to get a win. Like I said all is lost when it comes to winning the division and getting into the playoffs. Like Jim Mora said about the Colts "Playoffs, what playoffs?". At the end of the first quarter the Giants had 160 yards total to Shithawks 16 yards. Three three and outs, penalties, third down defense was horrible, this team is a total fucking mess. I might just have to stop watching them for a week or two. I will live and die a Seahawks fan but not when they are just going to roll over and take it up the ass like they have been doing the last three games. The numbers don't lie this is a really bad team with or without Matt Hasselbeck. Charlie Whitehurst is now the future of this team and this is who Seattle fans better get use to seeing back there. As I am writing this the current score in the fourth quarter is 41-7 so this have mean that the shithawks have been outscored 74-10 in the last two games. This team is a embarrassment to its beloved fan base that goes to and watches the game from home. Everybody played like shit today and it showed. It's a dam shame that we the people have to suffering once again through a season that once had promise now just a season of well lets just hope this team doesn't get ass fucked again. Next week this team is in Arizona a place where they haven't done shit in a long time. This might be a good place to get a win but I really doubt that with how this team has played the last three games including today debacle.

Missing in Seattle are the Sonics
I will never forgive Howard Schultz, David Stern and Clay Bennett for taking my beloved Seattle SuperSonics away from the people and city of Seattle. David Stern you need to step down as commissioner of the NBA and let somebody else take control. Forty-one years of Seattle basketball was gone in a flash. Seattle was once known as one of the top 5 difficult places to play in the league. From first players that became household names in old school players Lenny Wilkins, Slick Watts, Jack Sikma, Fred Brown, Gus Williams, Dennis Johnson to the new modern players like Gary Payton, Shawn Kemp, Sam Perkins, Michael Cage, Steve Scheffler, Detlef Schempf, Dale Ellis, Hersey Hawkins, Nate McMillan, and Ray Allen these are the players that help put Seattle pro basketball one the map. Wait one player to add to this list the youngster of them all Kevin Durant. I known once this kid put his name in the draft that he is going to be a special player coming out of the University of Texas. I had the privilege to watch Durant play in his rookie season before the team was uprooted to Oklahoma City and I must say his is a one of a kind player that will be a franchise changer and look at what he has done. Rookie of the year, 2009-2010 scoring champion at 30 points per game, getting the OKC Thunder to the playoffs versus the best team in the West and losing in game seven. With the SuperSonics gone the Key Arena is now filled with concerts instead of NBA basketball. The city could use the revenues that was once generated by having a pro team here right now. If the team was still here people would be rooting for them to get back to the playoffs like the old days of the Glove and Reign Man. Dam I missing having the SuperSoincs around. Since the team has left the state, Washington is still producing top notch high school and college players. Seattle is a hotbed for college recruiters that is looking for talent. Currently right now there is fourteen players in the NBA that is from the state of Washington. So what does that number tell you? It tells me that the city wants its team back because there is talent that runs deep in this state. Players currently on NBA rosters are Brandon Roy Portland, Nate Robinson and Avery Bradley Boston, Jason Terry Dallas, Jamal Crawford and Marvin Williams Atlanta, Jon Brockman Milwaukee, Aaron Brooks Houston, Terrance Williams New Jersey, Luke Ridnour and Martell Webster Minnesota, Spencer Hawes Philadelphia, Rodney Stuckey Detroit and Brian Scalabrine Chicago. The people will continue to find ways to bring back the NBA to Seattle.
Randy Moss has lost his dam mind.
Hey Randy you had a great chance to make a impact with a hall a fame quarterback in Brett Favre, but you end up eating your own shit. Don't complain about food that is being catered to you. If you didn't like it then don't eat it but don't open your trap and put down the mom and pop joint that made the whole damn team food for the sorry ass Minnesota Vikings. You should be the last person to ever open your mouth you punk. Go back to being the same lame ass player you were when you were in Oakland. As a matter of fact just retire and stay the fuck out of the NFL. Tennessee Titans are giving you a third chance this year wonder what you have to say when some company cooks up some food for this fucker. Randy you were once great now you are just a Terell Owens wannabe. Stop crying you fucking punk you get paid millions to catch a fucking ball and you can't even do that.

Washington Sports gets Hammered
Washington sports team was out scored this weekend by 117-3. The sports team included in the monster ass kicking was the Washington Huskies ass kicking by the Stanford Cardinals 41-0, Washington State Cougars losing 42-0 to Arizona St Sun Devils, Seattle Seahawks 33-3 butt kicking by the Oakland Raiders and the Seattle Sounders playoff lost to the LA Galaxy 1-0. This was a truly bad sports week in the state of Washington.

Taking a step in the WRONG direction
What the HELL just happen to the Seattle Seahawks, this team was outplayed, out classed and out coached by the Oakland Raiders. The Raiders came out and played a hell of a game with destroying the line on both sides of the ball. Raiders defense mauled the living shit out of the Hawks o line and just shitted on them like little kids. Hawks o line gave up so many sacks that Matt looked like a whore laying on her back and getting screwed over and over by the defense. The whole team played like shit and they deserved to lose like how they lost. Once again the Hawks has proved to everyone in the league that they can't win on the road. How does a team be ranked 2nd in rushing defense and just get bull dozed over to a team that is ranked 28th in the league in rushing defense. Both offense and defense played like little girls out there. Too many mistakes by this team was the down fall of this game. They can't expect to win if they continue to play like this. The o line is a major concern now with how they played against the Raiders. Give the Raiders credit for punishing the living shit out of the shithawks on the run and pass. Just remember the score 33-3 a fucking thirty point ass whooping for a team that was once known as the laughingstock of the league. Seahawks I really hope all of you guys work out the fucking problems soon because you now have a very very good New York Giants coming into Qwest Field your home field looking to beat the living shit out of you. Get your SHIT together before the season is a lost. Nothing good came out of this game nothing. I'm not even going to give the stats for this game because of how they played. This was nothing but frustration and seeing a team just get ass fucked.

Top of the Division Alone in a very long time!
Alright sitting a full game ahead of eveybody in the NFC West is the Seattle Seahawks. A sub par game they play yesterday against the Arizona Cardinals. Offense was out of sync at times when it came to the passing game but overall Matt and the receivers got the job done. A shout out to Big Mike Williams for hauling in 12 passes for 80+ and 1 touchdown. My biggest disappointment would have to be Sean Locklear for the two dumb holding calls on him for Marshawn Lynch runs of 10+ yards. IF it wasn't for those two holding infractions Lynch would be over 100 yards running. A huge game performance by Olindo Mare for his 5 field goals that just happens to be the Seahawks offense on Sunday. On the defensive side of the ball, it was good seeing the Hawks defenders get to Max Hall the rookie qb and force him into bad playmaking decision. Earl Thomas Jr. once again comes up big with a interception and continues to show why his is a first round pick. Thomas could of had three picks but I will live with the one he got. Everyone on defense had a great game. Chris Clemons is showing he is a reliable pass rusher with the big DT Colin Cole, Craig Terill, Raheem Brock and Red Bryant doing their job of getting push up front to free a blitzer. Overall this game was not as bad but it was frustating to watch with all the offensive opportunites being passed up. Plus the offensive line was getting Matt killed back there. I'm praying that Russell Okung will come back soon from the left ankle sprain. I'll take a victory like this but please continue to improve the o-line situation because it can and will become a mess again like the last three years. My vote for player of the game would have to be Mike Williams and Earl Thomas for their improved plays the last couple weeks. On to Oakland for a Halloween Treat against the Raiders. Please do not take this team lightly because they did put a huge ASS whipping on the Denver Broncos. Keep it up Hawks. I'm IN.

Two wins in one weekend
It all started Saturday night with a fantastic ending with the Washington Huskies prevailing in double overtime against 24th ranked Oregon St. This was a game for the ages, with the Huskies ripping off 21 straight points then the Beavers running back in the game for 21 straight points. Both teams fought hard until the end. A lot of props has to go out to Jacquizz Rodgers of OSU, this is a small player in stature but plays with a big heart and willed his team to a losing victory. Rodgers is one of those players that do not get the publicity he deserves because he plays out in the west coast where the east coast people do not get the chance to see him. OSU did the right thing by trying to win the game by going for the two point conversion in the second overtime but it just slipped out of the tight ends hand. Ryan Katz also showed that he will be a good quarterback in the Pac-12 for some years. On the Huskies side they showed a lot of promise on the defensive side of the ball by picking off Katz 3 times and sacking him more than once. Offensively Jermaine Kearse had a great game going over 100 yards receiving and 4 touchdowns. Jake Locker played a good game with finishing over 200 yards passing and 5 touchdowns. Chris Polk finished the game 25 carries and 105 yards on the ground. The only thing that bugged me the most was the offense kept stalling when the defense would get them the ball in good field position. This Huskies team has a long way to go to become a consistent team and contender for the Pac-12.
Now on the my beloved Seattle Seahawks, my love for this team is a love-hate relationship. I'll be the first to admit my disgust against them but in the end it is all love. The game that they played against the Chicago Bears I thought they would not stand a chance with the Bears defense ranking in the top 5 of the NFL. The Hawks got down early but came back and held on to the lead and won their first road game outside of the division since 2007. I could see that this team is now starting to play with more intensity with the addition of Marshawn Lynch in the backfield. With ML in the starting line up the Hawks now have Justin Forsett coming in on third downs where he can come out of the backfield and give Matt another option to throw to. Mike Williams had a great game with 10 catches for 123 yards. Williams size created a lot of opportunity for him because the Bears had nobody to match up against him.The ground game was very effective on Sunday and it helped Matt settle down and get in a grove of not worrying about making bad decision. This was the first game in a long time for Matt to not throw a pick. The defense was all over Jay Cutler and had him on the ground for 6 sacks. Gus Bradly the defensive coordinator must have watched the NY Giants game tapes when the Bears o-line let the Giants sack Cutler 9 times in the first half. Both sides of the ball played well and this was a needed victory for the Hawks. Now the task is to continue playing hard on both sides and capture the NFC West title. This teams has the talent to do it and they have the right personnel to lead them there to the promise land. It all starts this Sunday when the Arizona Cardinals come into town. The Hawks now have to get it in their heads that they the Cardinals are to team to beat to get back the TITLE that once belonged to them for four straight years. Lets go SEAHAWKS. WIN FOREVER.

Seattle Mariners Coaching job
The Seattle Mariners coaching job is going to be handed down to Eric Wedge a former manager of the Cleveland Indians. This organization has had two 100 loss season within a three year span. The team needs a coach that will play for him. I don't think Wedge is the answer to this solution. Chuck Armstrong and Howard Lincoln need to step down and get out of town. Those two are one of many reason why this team constantly fail and is the laughingstock of Major League Baseball. The joke is on the city and people that continue to go see a losing product that is out on the field. Long gone are the good days of baseball here in Seattle when sweet Lou Pinella left town. Players played for Lou because they knew he wouldn't let them run over him. Didn't the Mariners learn their lesson when they hired former Indians manager Mike Hargrove. This is absolutely pathetic that this front office has no sense of direction.

Deion Branch gone
The Seattle Seahawks finally did something right for once in their team history and that was to trade Deion Branch back to New England where he first came from. The past four years I have been saying why Seattle why give a guy that kind of a contract. Answer is this was a Tim Ruskell move. Well we as Seahawks fans can say the Ruskell era is finally over with Branch gone. The Hawks gave up a first round pick for this injury prone guy that didn't even see the field half the time he was here. Business is business but when you pay a person to do nothing but catch footballs you would expect that person to show up every Sunday to play and not be a cheerleader in street clothes. With this move it allows Deon Butler to start and get experience playing in the league. The Hawks can have a very good receiving core if everybody stays healthy and catch balls coming their way. I remember saying to a friend of my when the Hawks traded for Branch, I told him they will regret it because this dude was coming off a Super Bowl MVP victory and it was his contract year so Branch wanted to get paid and he did by forcing his way out of New England because the Patriots were not going to give him a long term deal. With the Patriots dealing Randy Moss back to Minnesota this move paved way for Branch being out of Seattle. Good bye Deion Branch hello new receivers. Now step it up or you might be the next one out the door to a new team or the unemployment line.
Agents in college sports
College sports is turning into a hot bed for sports agents that is willing to do anything to get these young athletes to sign with them. It is hard to tell a 18-20 year old to follow the right path and stay in school when they are a hot commodity's in their respective sport. The NCAA and professional leagues need to do a better job advising these young athletes so they can retain their eligibility if they decide to return to school. Sports agents are like leeches they will suck the blood until its dry and then move on to the next person. I'm not saying they are bad people but their job entails them to sell themselves to these kids that don't know no better than to look at the money being thrown at them. College players taking money is not old news these days players have been taking money from agents for a very long time but now the NCAA is trying to clean up its image to look good for the world. There are so many college players in sports that come from a poor back ground that it's hard from them to resist the money put in front of their face. College football is a huge money maker for the university. No matter what conference that team is playing in they the team is making a lot of money for the school. These football players are given a free scholarship to come and play football and get a education. But factor in where some of these players come from the scholarship doesn't mean anything if they can't help their struggling family back home. It's hard enough for the college coaches to keep track of their players but they try their best to do it. But when you are a highly touted football or basketball player the wolves will come at you and they will hunt to get what they want and that is the prize the money you can make for them. Look at the case of USC, North Carolina, Washington, Kentucky, Memphis all these school have rich traditions that has ties to sports agent. Recently the world came crumbling down on Reggie Bush for his parents wrong doing of his time at USC. Look at the North Carolina football team right now, they started the season with nearly half of their defensive players suspended for taking improper benefits from a sports agent. If the school and NCAA wants to protect their players and image then stop giving free access to the sports agents that hang around their school. I feel sorry for the college athletes because the schools make so much money off of them and the school just says will we gave you a free ride so be grateful for it. It's great that these young kids are getting a free education but when the school are making millions upon millions off of them it is grossly disgusting. Winning a national championship in college football brings in 15 million plus for the winners. You can not tell me that the school can't help some of their players that come from a poor back ground while that school president is getting vacations on private trips with whores on the school's air planes.

Randy Moss back at his old stomping ground
Brett Favre asked for a tall and talented wide receiver. Well the Minnesota Vikings ownership gave Farve his wish and got him Randy aka The Freak Moss. Remember people this is the same team that drafted him in 1998 out of Marshall University. Moss is everything you call ask for in a wide out. Tall and dominate against puny corners that try but usually end up chasing him. Darelle Revis calls him the "Slouch" for the simply fact that Moss doesn't give his best efforts against him. Well Revis you can call him whatever you want but just remember that Moss gave you a pulled hamstring and you went to the locker room limping like a little girl who just got her candy stolen. This move allows the Vikings to go vertical again until they get Sidney Rice back. Vikes did strike out on getting Vincent Jackson but they did the right thing and bought back Randy Moss to his stomping ground. Moss should be very familiar with the city for the sake that he did dragged a parking officer a couple blocks with a joint in the ash tray. Adrian Peterson will the benefit from this move for the fact that teams will have to worry bout Moss going off and taking it to the house. Really now it is up to Brett to get Moss the ball and let him be the one who corners are chasing down. Moss knew that he was not going to get a extension from the NE Patriots so he did what is best for him to continue and that was ask for a trade to a good team that has a legit shot of making it to the Super Bowl. The Patriots didn't need Moss to catch pass from Tom Brady they have a stable of receivers that are waiting in the wings for that. For all that Moss has done in his NFL career it was best for him to go back to Minnesota and finish it off with a gunslinger like Brett Favre. Welcome back to Minnesota Randy Moss may you do nothing but get to the Super Bowl and finish your career the right way.

Marshawn Lynch to Hawks
Welcome to Seattle Marshawn Lynch. Lets hope you can be a key to the ground game. You can forget about your troubles in Buffalo and play with reckless abandon that you use to play with in your early years. Don't forget you and Justin Forsett was a bad ass tandem in your days at Cal U. For once the Seahawks did a move that was a long time coming. Lets just hope that this gamble will payoff and help this team win some ball games. Lynch fits perfectly in the zone blocking scheme because Carroll has seen him run in college. Now it's up to the players to piece it together and get chemistry going on both sides of the ball. This bye week should help them get back to the basics of playing sound football. In no way they should be taking time off. Matt and the receivers should be out there on the field passing and catching. The offensive line should be able to look at film and see where the protection is breaking down and Russell Okung will have time to heal that ankle of his. Earl Thomas Jr. is the lone bright spot as of right now on both sides of the ball. He is playing a lot better than everybody on the team. Pete just stop with the dumb trick plays remember this the NFL not USC where you got away with it. The play calling better step up against the Chicago Bears after the bye. The Bears will be wanting to eat this team alive after surrounding 10 sacks against the NY Giants. Jay Cutler I feel sorry for you after that horrid first half on Sunday night football with 9 sackd in the first half. The thought of this Seahawks team playing well in Soldier Field doesn't sit well in my stomach because this could be a game that will end Matt's run at the helm. This will be a big game for Matt because of his play early in the season. People are already calling for Charlie Whitehurst to play and they will get the chance if Matt continues to have a shit can of a game.

ShitHawks
This is the Seattle Seahawks new nickname The Seattle Shithawks. Way to let the St.Louis Rams kick your guys ass. Once again they can not get a dam win on the road versus a team they have beaten twice in 2009. Offense played like crap and the defense played well to help the offense get the ball back. Matt continues to make horrible decisions that is getting this team to be the laughing stock of the league. Hasselbeck you need to go look at your old game tapes and go find that form you use to have that put in the top half of decent quarterbacks. Time and time again the offense stalls and Pete Carroll just rah rah rah them like a college coach. Message to Carroll continue to do fake field goals you will find yourself out of the league again. NFL= Not For Long. Everybody on the Shithawks need a reality check and go find some fucken heart once they step on the field. Home or away this team constantly make stupid mistakes that cost them the game.

King Felix deserves the Cy Young
After tonight's game against Texas Rangers Felix Hernandez is clearly the prime favorite to win the Cy Young. He has dominated all the pitching categories except for wins and complete games. His 13-12 record is grossly disputed up against CC Sabbathia of the New York Yankees with 21-7. King Felix is taking his throne on the Cy Young award on a losing team that is not going to the playoffs, just like last year's winner Zack Grienke, Felix finished second with 19 wins to Grienke 15 wins. Even though the Mariners had 80+ wins last year he still dominated the pitching stats. Felix is almost a full point above CC in era with a 2.28 to CC 3.18. Felix has 227 strikeouts and is a inning behind Roy Halladay for the major league innings pitch. This award is not a team award this is a individual accomplishment given to the best pitch from each league. How and why does the team make it a factor for a individual to win a pitching award that is base solely on the pitching stats. This is award is not for the MVP of each league which usually go to the best hitter or a player that is in the triple crown race. Felix is hands down by far the most dominate pitcher in the American League. If he doesn't win this award it will be a tragedy and will absolutely say to every pitcher that has a dream to win the Cy Young to play for a winning team. What should matter in picking the award winner should be performance on the mound not how many wins the pitcher has.

College Football Prediction Week 5 Top 10 Teams
#1 Alabama vs #7 Florida
This game will tell the nation how good the Tide offense and defense really are. Florida is still trying to find their identity on offense with Jonathan Brantley under center. The Gators will be the underdogs going into this battle in Alabama. Crimson Tide should have no problems taking care of these young Gators at home and maintain their number one ranking. Both Mark Ingram and Trent Richardson will have a good game on the ground which will set up the passing game.
#Ohio State vs Illinois
Terrelle Pryor will again show case his arm and legs in this game. Buckeyes open their conference games with a victory in Illinois with a semi blow out. This game will be tight in the first half but the Buckeyes will come alive in the second half with Pryor and offense burning the Illini up and down the field. Pryor will get a invite to New York for the Heisman Trophy Award.
#3 Boise State vs New Mexico State
Cake walk game for the Broncos. Will not be a contest. Kellen Moore will have a nice game passing wise.
#4 Oregon vs #9 Stanford
PAC 10 game of the week. Game is played in Oregon so this will be a tough match up for the Cardinals and Andrew Luck. Oregon offense is blaze like fire with LaMichael James and Darron Thomas leading the way. This game might serve as who will represent the PAC 10 in the BCS. The Cardinals come in riding a great victory over Notre Dame and will look to stop this spread attack offense from the Quacks. This will be a close game to the end and the Cardinals will prevail with a seven point win. This game will highlight two teams that has Heisman contenders in LaMichael James of Oregon and Andrew Luck of Stanford.
#5 TCU vs Colorado State
TCU will look to roll throw their conference schedule starting with the Rams. Andy Dalton is the real deal under center for the Horned Frogs. TCU passing attack will give Colorado St. trouble and the Frogs will roll to their first conference victory. TCU will be tested by Utah when they meet Nov. 6 in Utah. Until then they will be on a roll and looking to move up in the polls.
#6 Nebraska bye
Will play Kansas St on Thursday Oct 7 in Manhattan, KS
#7 Florida vs #1 Alabama
Top two teams in the SEC will have a night game in Alabama. Gators better show up and play. They will need every ounce of Gatorade to keep up with the Tide. In the end the Gators will fall to the Mighty Crimson Tide who are looking to repeat and defend their national title. Speed will be a factor on both side of the ball and team.
#8 Oklahoma vs #21 Texas
The Red River Shootout. This game will feature one new quarterback in Garrett Gilbert of Texas and a second year starter in Landry Jones. The Sooners feature DeMarco Murray at running back and Ryan Broyles at wide out. The three headed monster of Jones, Murray and Broyles on offense will be to much for this young Longhorns team that just lost to UCLA in a bad way. The UCLA lost was one of the worst lost in coach Mack Brown coaching career. The Longhorns will fight to the end but will not have enough to beat a will prepared Mark Stoops team that is looking to roll throw the Big 12 South and meet Nebraska in the Big 12 title game. Gilbert will have to grow up and lead this offense that stalled against a UCLA team that handled them 34-12.
#9 Stanford vs #4 Oregon
Andrew Luck will need all the luck to beat this Oregon team that is out to prove to the nation they deserve national attention for the BCS Championship. Cardinals will have to play a near perfect game to beat the Ducks on their home pond. This will be a prime time game on ABC at 5 pacific time. The Cardinals will have to defend the spread attack and make Darron Thomas uncomfortable in the pocket and force him to throw the ball. LaMichael James will spearhead the rushing attack and will need to be contain in the box. Cardinals take the game and move up in the rankings. Very important game for both teams with BCS implications.
#10 Auburn vs Louisiana-Monroe
Quick possible a game that will be a cup cake for the Tigers of Auburn. This offense is lead by Cam Newton a former Florida Gator and JUCO transfer and freshman Michael Dyer. This game will serve as a tune up game for the Tigers as they are coming off a victory against South Carolina Gamecocks 35-27. Auburn is coming into the meat of the conference games so this will be one of their few lets roll up the score board and get the back up some reps game.

Chargers vs Hawks
This was a hard game to sit through with all the offensive deficiencies and all the soft cover zone the defense was playing. The Seahawks got real lucky with this win. They looked really good in the first half moving the ball down field and flying around on defense. Leon Washington is dynamite in a bottle, if it wasn't for his two kick returns for touchdown the Hawks would be 1-2 instead of 2-1. The second half was atrocious and disappointing. It was a tale of two stories just like any other sports team in Seattle. The hawks had a 17-0 lead and let it evaporate in a few plays. The offense sputtered in the second half and the defense was leaving receivers wide open. The Chargers had no running game and they still manged to keep the game close with Phillp Rivers going to the air. Just watching Rivers disect the Hawks defense made me realize how bad our secondary is. Antonio Gates was Rivers go to man on third down and the Hawks would some how lose track of him and give up a first down. Once again Matt Hasslebeck continues to make mistakes and throw the ball to the wrong team. Even though he had a decent game numbers wise he still needs to be more effective in the passing game. My other question is with the Chargers missing their top players like Shawn Merrimen, Vincent Jackson, Marcus McNeil and two other linebackers why couldn't Seattle take advantage of running the ball on the outside of the defense. The whole game Rivers was going down field and getting the ball to tall receivers like Malcom Floyd, Patrick Crayton, Ligdeu Nanne and Gates. The Hawks did do a good job of getting to Rivers and sacking him more than once and stuffing the running game. The defensive player of the game might have to go to Chris Clemens for putting constant pressure on Rivers. The offensive player of the game will have to be Leon Washington for his two kick returns for touch down. Lucky charms was in Seattle today looking after the Seahawks. Play another game like this and they are asking to lose big to a good team that will take advantage of how the Hawks play. It was incredle that Rivers throws for 450 plus yards and still lose. The Hawks would have major problems if the Chargers were at full health. But the game is over and the Hawks managed to hold on for a win and now it's on to next week against the Rams in St.Louis. The Hawks better prepare for this Rams team that is riding a high by beating the Washington Redskins. My message to Pete Carroll and the Hawks play for a full 60 minutes and play tough.
KC Chiefs go 3-0
Impressive is the one word that comes to my mind when I saw the Chiefs beat the SF 49ers. Both Thomas Jones and Jamaal Charles are hard nose runner and Matt Cassel is directing this offense with the same confidence that bought him to Kansas City from New England. They beat the Chargers the first week, Cleveland the second week and San Francisco this week. For a team that had only 4 wins last season they are on their way to be a challenger in the AFC West.

Felix and the CY Young
The Seattle Mariners has to be the most disappointing team of the year in Major League Baseball. How does a team that has a flame thrower like Felix Hernandez and one point had Cliff Lee in their rotation go down hill so quick? This team had high expectations this season and they failed in all categories. Felix is leading the league in most of the pitching stats except the win column where he is 12-12. Last year the Cy Young winner was Zack Grienke of the Kansas City Royals with 15 wins and Felix was second. If you put Felix on a winning team i.e. Tampa, Yankees, Boston he would be blowing the talk with him and C.C. Sabathia and David Price. When a team that has a talent like Felix wouldn't you want to find batters that will give him run support to make him feel like he is doing his job. This is absolutely a embarrassment that the M's can't give this young man more than two runs per game and expect him to pitch a dominate game every time he takes the mound. This whole teams needs to be blown up and start over with the front office cleaning house. I knew this season was going to be a rough one once they traded for Milton Bradley and Ken Griffey Jr coming back. The problems kept coming and looked what happen, Don Wakamatsu gets fired not even three years on the job, Junior retires in the middle of the season, Bradley has a mental meltdown, then they trade away Lee to the Texas Rangers for prospects that are not ready to help this team out. One of their prospect has a sexual assault charge on him that stems from his minor league team in Sacramento. The Mariners are quickly losing its identity with all these problems they are having and the fans still go out and support this team. The lone bright spot on this team is Felix and his phenomenal pitching. Felix is simply keeping this team on the radar of the baseball world. He deserves this year Cy Young for the fact that he leads the league in innings pitch, strikeouts,earned run average and quality starts. Wins are a rarity for this gas thrower. Felix you are a pleasure to watch and you are the only reason right now that people go to Mariners game. It would be a shame if Felix gets snub two years in a row to win this prestige's award.

Michael Vick starting on Sunday vs Jaguars
Andy Reid might have put more fuel to the fire this week by saying Kevin Kolb will start on Sunday against Jacksonville then a day later take back those words and say Vick will play because he is more mobile than Kolb. This case was handled very poorly by the head coach. Vick should have been their starter since the announcement of the Eagles trading away Donovon Mcnabb to their rivals the Redskins. Kolb will be a good quarterback for a team but not in Philly. Reid's offense calls for a skilled quarterback like Vick. This move allows Vick to show the world that he is back on top of his game. Given the nature of what Vick has done in the past off the field it is now time to let the man play and get his due credit on the field. Vick is a amazing athlete that has lots of speed to get past defenders in open field. If this plays out right he will remind people of how Randall Cunningham and Donovon Mcnabb played during their time in Philly. Vick deserves a shot at directing this offense because of what he brings to the Eagles play book. This Eagles team is better off with Vick under center than Kolb because of Vick's ability to gain yards with his legs. Even though Vick has said he is fine being Kolb's back up it still sucks seeing a player like Vick being regulated to holding a clip board and playing a few snaps in the so called wild cat formation. I really hope that the Eagles blow out the Jaguars and Vick proves to the Eagles front office and Andy Reid that he is the right quarterback for this team and city, if not this team will lose Vick to some other team that will make him their starting quarterback next season.
Minnesota and Brett Favre
Alright losing to the Saints whens a good loss but losing to the Dolphins was just plain horrible. Why weren't the Vikings running the ball more often with one of the best running backs in Adrian Peterson? Minnesota passing game is free falling and fast, no Sidney Rice as a deep threat and teams are loading the box up to stop the run. The real question is why does Brett not trust the other receivers like Percy Harvin and Bernard Berrian. It looks like the only receiver he does trust is his tight end Visanthe Shaincoe. This team could go far as long as Brett will trust the other players not to drop the ball. The Vikings offense line is a load with all of them average 300 pounds in weight. Their defense will once again be in the top half of the league lead by Jarad Allen. The lose to Miami and them going 0-2 can have a lingering effect if they continue to play like this on offense. Their best bet is to put the ball in Adrian Peterson hand and let him run loose. Ownership lucked out on getting Vincent Jackson from the Chargers but the season can still be saved if Brett just put a little more trust into the other receivers. The Vikings defense is scary to any quarterback that likes to stand in the pocket. This team has all the tools it needs to get to the playoffs as either a division title holder or wild card team. The NFC North will be a tough division to win with Green Bay and Chicago waiting for their chances to dethrone the great one in Brett Favre.

San Diego Chargers G.M. A.J. Smith is dumb
The Chargers front office is dealing with a mess right now with two of their most important players sitting out. Vincent Jackson and Marcus McNeil who have out played their previous contract. I understand a contract is a contract and the player should play through it put but both of these position are at a premium price tag. In the case of Vincent Jackson the Chargers have turned down numerous offer at a reasonable deal. Why keep players who clearly don't want to be on their current team? The NFL has a short time for players who peak at the right time. Jackson is a threat every time he touches the ball. He commands teams to game plan around his skill set. In the case of Marcus McNeil he plays a position that commands he to protect the blindside of his quarterback. Left tackle is a position that demands him to be on top if his game. Yes left tackles in the NFL demands a lot of money these days but when a player goes to the pro bowl year after year that must say something about their ability to protect their QB.

Athletes and DUI
What is wrong with athletes and drinking and driving? You don't get away with it just because you play a professional sport. It is disgusting that they get caught and it is no big deal to them. All these so called sport stars are making a ton of money and they feel the need to get behind the wheel with three other people in the car. There is a service and it is called a taxi or hire someone to drive you around so you can get messed up. Braylon Edwards you are one dumb rock to have illegal tinted windows and then get pulled over for a dwi. Did you not learn from all the other football players that got caught? Donte Stallworth, Vincent Jackson to name a few. Come does it cost that much to hire someone to drive you around when you are making more than a million a year. This is not just in football it is in all sports. Is this really the athletes that are younger generation is looking up to. I guess the motto Charles Barkley is correct "I am not your role model just a basketball player". Spot on Charles but it is your duty when you are in the spot light to act properly in public.

Washington vs Nebraska
4 for 20 for 71 yards is not Heisman worthy numbers. This loss is not on Jake Locker shoulder, this loss is on the whole team. The huskers came to play and husky stadium was their playground. Nebraska was clearly more talented and faster team than the huskies. Taylor Martinez is a very, very fast quarterback once he gets a edge he is gone like flash and his counter partners were just putting a hurting on the defense up the middle. Three one hundred yards rushers were featured in this game. Everything about this game smelled like a loss from the start. Even though Nebraska had two cup cake games at home before traveling to Seattle, I had a feeling that this husky team was not prepared for this team that has a ton of talent that from top to bottom. The huskers secondary feature three players that the NFL covet and that is speed, range and ball skills. Taylor Martinez showed the nation he could handle the crowd noise with has short range passes and running skills. The huskies couldn't do anything do stop this team from running them over. Watching this game bought back memories of the Tyrone Willingham era of 0-12. This was maybe the hardest game to sit through and watch the dawgs get manhandled by a team that is enormously big on offense and defense. What do they feed these kids in Nebraska? What was even worse was going to downtown and seeing all the Nebraska fans walking around in their red gear and enjoying this win in my home state.
Seahawks vs Broncos
This was a absolutely horrible game from the start to end. Dam you Sean Locklear with that hold and Stacy Andrews with the false start. Dam you Matt Hasslebeck with the picks. Dam you Walter Thurmond with the punt return fumble at the nine yard line. Dam you Pete Carroll for going for it on 4th and 2 and leaving points on the field. Dam you Seahawks defense for not showing up to play. All in all there was not one bright spot during this game. Play like this again and they will get tramped over during the season. The Hawks looked good in the first game of the season against the SF Niners but it was totally a melt down in week 2. No I take that back there was two bright spot and that was Deon Butler and Golden Tate showing up and playing hard from start to end. Thank you Seattle for losing to Denver in a ass whooping fashion and me having to pay Anthony 5 bucks and a six pack of beer.
