Are you READY for some FOOTBALL!!!

Congrats to OSU even though we still don't like you! lol

Tebow? You know if Tebow really had that so-called Christian humility he would have allowed himself to be converted to a DIFFERENT position rather than being so "PRIDEFUL" that it had to be QB or nothing. Anyone remember where PRIDE comes from, by any chance? lol

If that's the best you can come up with to mock his Christianity then I think he's doing better than most of us.

BUT, maybe it's not pride. Maybe he just didn't want to play another position. Maybe he'd rather have the gig he has now instead of playing another position.

Ouch, how a football discussion turned to religion is beyond me... Go Hawks!

Ooops! Didn't intend that, really. It's just something I've always thought about.

I'm just asking why would you insist on being a QB and not pursuing other options some of which WERE offered to you? I mean, you have to admit it's a little odd, especially when QB is NOT an option but you still have athletic gifts? If nothing else it's irrational-you don't even need to say anything about religion here! That stuff becomes a "superfluous" part of the argument.

Of course it may be possible that Mr. Tebow is happier with what he is now doing. I grant you that. But NEITHER of us can know that. So there's no real argument here just a lot of guess work. Two people with two opinions. Who would've thunk it? Difference! Wow!

Well, here in our little berg, it is not only customary but encouraged to mix religion and sports, particularly football.
So as not to offend any one religion, suffice it to say that the phrase, "Awwww, ***** H. ******* ******" is freuently invoked/shouted during St Louis Rams games.
Sometimes at the players, but more often at the coaches and coordinators.

Sometimes we use it for the folks who are in charge of draft picks.

"Hey, let's draft Heisman Trophy winner Eric Crouch (Nebraska, set all kinds of college records) and make him a wide receiver !!! Do we need a wide reciever ? No, but .... man, that'll really be cool !!!"

Didn't work out too well, btw. Mr. Crouch took a good hit in practice, had to have a couple hundred CC's of blood drained out of his leg, and he said "No thanks" to the Rams offer to make hin a wide receiver.

Sometimes the Rams have been able to pick a pearl out ot the cesspool. Kurt Warner is a good example.
But whenever the draft department would come up with a pearl, the on-field management would take care of that oversight.

"Okay, we're beating Cleveland 45-3 with 7 minutes left in the game. Let's run THREE sweeps to the right, and have Kurt Warner LEAD the sweeps !! That will be AWESOME !!"

Yes, that sort of play calling resulted in many invocations of " ***** H. ******* ****** ! ".
(I believe Kurt Warner also said that as he limped off the field holding his fractured right hand. He's kind of religious, too, I guess).

Well, I certainly don't want to bring religion into this argument, other than to say that in the privacy of one's home, it's A-OK. Cheaper in the long run than throwing things at the T.V. Less messy, too.

That has nothing to do with class...passionate fans celebrating...no harm done...no big deal. Go Bucks!!!

I'm all for passionate fans, but no harm done ? Really ?

Tearing down a goal post, starting fires, breaking into the school, not to mention the additional costs of all those cops, probably on overtime too. Maybe if they got a bill in the mail, they'd think twice.

Yet, you did. Not unlike your "superfluous" political comments.

Guess so, think I'll BAN myself for a week or more. Month, year! Just how long would you all like to see me say nothing about politics that does not agree with the "right", etc.? Nor mention belief and responsibility! Who should be "allowed" to speak, I wonder, and who should NOT criticize!

Don't worry about it. I'm GONE for a while! Thanks to everyone! Hope Psovlsk feels better!

And much as I love Jesse. He's never "political"?

BANNED!

Mariota just might make a decent NFL QB. He is very accurate and seems to have a good head on his shoulders. He will need to be more vocal and more of a leader, but that can come with time and maturity.

Welcome to Seattle Pack. It's going to be a fun game. Go Hawks!

Announced today that Alice in Chains is playing the halftime show. Love it! Go Hawks!

I wish they'd show that instead of the talking heads.

Supposed to be windy/rainy in Seattle tomorrow. I don't see the Packers offense having much luck....

Go Pack Go!

And I've been up all night cause the Colts are gonna get "Luck"y!!!

The birds are being shot down from every angle

The 'she'-hawks are getting plucked and fried.

Sneaky Sneaky,

Green Bay should come back with a pass from Cobb if they get back into red zone.

Cobb is a good passer

At least this game is finally picking up momentum
