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.
