Not a bad start.

I've not watched enough of ARI to make an educated evaluation, but I know this Seattle team. The defensive front is dominate. Williams and Murphy make one of the best DT tandems in the league. If a team wants to lineup and try to run the ball on Seattle they should expect bad results. The...

This statement sounds reasonable, but it's uneducated. If you saw what we see in the hallways every day you would have a different opinion. Further, asking a kid not to keep their phone in their pocket isn't reasonable. It's going to be in the pocket, and they are constantly being called to...

Perhaps the team knows he's not that great. His hands aren't great. He doesn't catch balls in traffic (Had a deep ball tonight that he should have caught). And he's a lock to draw a personal foul when he loses control of his emotions (again, another one tonight). I think Gil Brandt put it...

33 year high school math teacher here. I have a caddy on the wall just inside my door. I greet students as they enter every period and they place their phones in the caddy. Does it work great during class? Sure. I haven't had a single phone issue during class since I've started using this...

Oh, that makes total sense. I tend to forget it's a fantasy football website. I haven't had my own fantasy team for a couple years now.

WR2?

Game against Seattle seemed to validate my assessment. Hands not great, but he's big, strong, and fast. Random thought I had today. Looking ahead to next year... it might get ugly if Pittsburgh doesn't have a reliable QB (assuming ARod is done). No way DK keeps his emotions in check playing. a...

Seahawk homer here. Can't say I was heart-broken when they sent DK packing. There are both positives and negatives, but eventually we saw enough of the negatives. Most Seattle fans were glad to see him get a chance with anther team. He's passionate. He will work hard. He'll block on running...

My journey with this has come to an end. My mom passed this past month. The past year I made the trip twice a month to see my mom in a memory care unit. She was slipping quickly and it was noticeable. I could just see it in her eyes. A doctor warned me that psychotropic drugs were going to...

The return of my annual thread. Did this for years and then got away from it. I still love the draft and plan to keep doing this year after year. Journalists keep saying they're forced to give grades. They know it's a stupid activity. They routinely admit it and proceed to throw down the...

Was it really 45 years ago that I watched my man Buddy Baker win? Dang. Still has the fastest average speed during his win, and the first driver to top 200mph.

If you apply the standard of a reception I don’t thank that gets ruled a catch. There was no football move after the ball got there. It looked like it came loose almost immediately.

Saw that too. Not a catch. That wasn’t an interception.

Reasons for Seattle optimism: The Seattle defense has shown dramatic improvement since the beginning of the season. Everyone has been put on notice. Don’t produce and you’ll get replaced. It has reminded me of the beginning of the Pete Carroll era. Some coaches give it lip service. Others...
