OTFPOTD: 12/30/08 - Chase Daniel is a cabbage patch kid edition
Losing a bowl game in that fashion sucks. Hard. Never kick to Jeremy Maclin if your team is mostly slow and reasonably white. It's a bad idea. I got angrier than Charlie Kelly when Dee, Dennis, Mac and Frank are not cooperating on the set of his musical. Since I highhhhly doubt anyone else gives a grumpy about the outcome of the Valero Alamo Bowl, I will move on.
What are the top 3 things you are excited for in the coming year, sports or otherwise?

That was a fantastic bowl game.
I was really pulling for a Northwestern upset.
Screw you, Mariners. I'm back in football's loving arms. *edit: well, shit. This isn't going well.

classic NU game. I've been watching this stuff for 5 years now and they rarely get decimated.
Instead, the ’cats are brilliant at suckering us in enough to tear our hearts out.

I can't begin to count how many people I've turned onto that show
For months I’ve been half-interested in recording how many times I laugh out loud while watching an episode of Philadelphia vs. how often I laugh while watching 30 Rock. I’m curious as to which show is funnier.

I definitely prefer 30 Rock
I don’t know why but I find Philadelphia at best mildly amusing, and 30 Rock always makes me double over in hysterics.

It's not so much ditching Hass as it is preparing for the future.
Hass is an older QB and has a fairly extensive injury history, so it makes sense to select a new QB to groom for a couple of seasons.
by BrianL on Dec 30, 2008 10:00 AM PST up reply actions 0 recs
I have no problem with grooming a replacement
but with the money that Hass is due + the likely plus 6 million dollar contract that a top 4 pick would control would force our hand and push Hass out both before he’s done and before Bradford/Stafford would be ready.

He’s had a really hard time staying healthy and really, QBs that play well into their late 30s aren’t too common.

John David Booty had a bulging disk before the 06 season.
Jeff Garcia had one in 2003

Yes, but were those bulging discs causing their drive legs to weaken?
That was Matt’s problem this year. That particular disc was putting pressure on a nerve bundle that affected his push-off leg.
“As it turns out, the back situation that he had aggravated in our preseason was actually creating the problem with his leg,” Holmgren said. “Now we know where we’re headed with the treatment, and it’s tied in with the disc situation.”
Hasselbeck has been put on a series of rehab tests, Holmgren said, because the disc problem is creating a weakness in his leg.
per Seattle PI
Yes this problem might take care of itself, but there’s a good chance that it will be something he’d have to worry about for the rest of his career. If that bulging disc is a recurring thing and causes Matt to lose power in that leg, he’s got a serious problem.

Seeing Bruce the next time he hits Seattle is one of my resolutions.

Even to this day he puts on an amazing show
The duration has dropped – the first time I saw him it was almost five hours with only a 10 minute break, and this last tour was just a tick over 2.30 including two encores – but that is one of the tightest live bands you’ll ever see, and it’s clear that they still love what they do. Playing together for 35 years will do that for a band.

Are you a live music guy?
If so, and if you are open to having that opinion changed, go see the E Street Band live next time they tour. It may not make you the biggest fan ever, but you will definitely appreciate the music a lot more after having seen it performed by an amazing live band. I know it sounds like a hoary old cliche, but when the first few bars of Rosalita or Born To Run fly off that stage, it gives me goosebumps every single time.

I’ve definitely had live shows change my opinion many times (M.I.A., My Morning Jacket, Flaming Lips) whether it be from active dislike to like, or from like to love.
I don’t think I could ever fork out $70 for an experiment, though.

Given his tracks record, the incredible amount of songs he writes and records, and that he routinely discards some of those songs

Hawes is well better than swift petro and sene.
He is more polished, more skilled, and has a better bball IQ. Sene was drafted for his potential only(read: he is tall and has long arms but never played ball), and lord knows what they were thinking with Swift and Petro. Swift was a high schooler, and its hard to evaluate those guys properly until they get a year in college to see whats what. look what happned to DeAndre Jordan… Top high school prospect, would have been a top 5 pick out of high school. Had to go to the pros, and…. not so much. Second round flier by the clippers.

Not so much, no
But it was my first place and I had a lot of good times there. I knew almost everyone in the building and we were like a large dysfunctional family. That atmosphere allowed to start my first "business that later ended rather poorly.

Sounded like it was worth it then.
I miss some of the dumps I lived in for similar reasons.

I used to drop in there about once a year, have maybe a beer and split.
The bartender always remembered my name. People that can do that always amaze me.

Not really on both counts.
20 percent good service/10 for not making me wait all night. And really only ever stayed there for one beer, and sometimes didn’t finish it. The clientele in that joint can get on my nerves pretty fast sometimes. The guy had a great memory, and I’m not that memorable.
The Irish Emigrant had a bartender with a similar memory, but the owner sold the place ~3 years ago and bought a joint downtown somewhere, took the bartender with him.

Okay Lake City but anything north of 85th isn't Seattle.

Funny
I’ve lived in Maple Leaf/Lake City for almost a year. And, while I leave this weekend, it hasn’t treated me half bad. Nor did the ave really. Aside from the robbery and subsequent nunchuck to the side of the head. But that was kinda my fault for not being a little more savvy. But I miss the wide range of cheap food available late on the ave.Plus I was just down the street from Earls, the best cheap drunk in Seattle.

I actually like Maple Leaf just fine.
My drummer lives there. A bit subursy for my taste, but it’s pleasant enough. I’m talking the area northeast of Maple Leaf.
The U-District in general makes me want to set things on fire.

Lake City Way isn't so bad, anymore
they’ve done a lot to try to clean it up, more apartments, more businesses etc. Though I was in the area just northwest of Lake City was, picking up trash for work crew, I was a little sketched out.
The U-district wasn’t so bad. I had tons of food, bars, movie theatres and a toally bad ass video store(Scarecrow Video) all within easy walking distance. But I understand that most of the Ave’s denizens make most people hate it.
It’s never fun not being able to walk 10 ft without some methed out freak trying to sell you pot. For the most part if people want pot they know how to get it and aren’t about to buy it from some über creepy looking guy who’ll just sell you a tiny albeit laced amount.

I worked in the U-District for three years.
There are some great things about it to be sure, but the bad things are so bad I just couldn’t deal.

Top three things I'm excited about this year.
1. Living in one state for an entire fiscal year
2. Fairly consistent access to Mariners’ tickets (and the SF/SEA series)
3. Magically having the money appear so that I can finish my masters…or perhaps just impressing someone enough to get a real job.

Found a great article in the Washington Post archives.
Bud Selig, the Expos, contraction talks in ’01, near challenges to the anti-trust exemption for MLB. Nice piece of journalism, Expos for Sale.

Well that fact that LFOJL is banned probably gives you his answer
There is some thought that he occasionally posts under his brothers name.
