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?

1) Ghostbusters: The Video Game
2) Billy Joel and Elton John’s Face to Face tour (shut up I like their music)
3) Finding true love on Flag Day.

What am I excited for?

I’m turning 40 in 2009. I don’t know why, but this prospect is oddly exciting and fascinating.

The last few episodes of the season were very strong. I think it was just a minor setback.

Bad phrasing on my part.

I’m just saying the whole novelty of the show is wearing off a little bit, I guess. I still love it and will watch every episode, but I think it may have peaked. And that’s fine.

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.

Also the artificial selection process wouldn't necessarily select for brains or fiscal robustness.

It may select for proximity to chainsaws or flamethrowers, or perhaps ability to run faster than your neighbors.

What I'm excited for in 2009

  • Lost. The best show eever.
  • 24. It’s going to suck, but hey, Tony’s back!
  • The NFL draft. Our next franchise QB or OT, here we come!
  • Marriage.
  • Going to Iceland for my honeymoon.
  • The ‘09 Sasquatch festival. I’m 90% sure that Art Brut will be there, and this pleases me immensely.

I refuse to believe that we are talking about ditching Hass this quickly

EVERYBODY ON OFFENSE EXCEPT FOREVERTOWN DIED AT LEAST FOR A FEW GAMES THIS YEAR.

by Robert on Dec 30, 2008 9:55 AM PST to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

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 to parent up reply reply actions 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.

by Robert on Dec 30, 2008 10:02 AM PST to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

And he's only 33.

If he can stay healthy, he can play for years to come.

by abender20 on Dec 30, 2008 10:05 AM PST to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

But with Hass that's the problem

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

Yeah there are the Jeff Garcias and Brett Farves, but I tend to view them a bit more as the exception.

Matt Hasselbeck

I DRINK YOUR MILKSHAKE!!! I DRINK IT UP!!

by abender20 on Dec 30, 2008 10:16 AM PST to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

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.

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.

Probably would.

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.

by Phildopip on Dec 30, 2008 10:44 AM PST to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

last time he toured it was $95 plus service charges

so that probably drops the odds even that much more, which I completely understand.

I did like Magic better than The Rising

but the song he did for the Wrestler soundtrack is just sorta generic – not bad, not great – and I fear the new album will be like that, unremarkable but not actually bad. I hope I’m pleasantly surprised.

I heard an interview with Michael Ian Black a while back

and he seemed to think a State DVD release would never happen, due to music rights issues and general State-member indifference to the idea.

Yes.

If it has MIB in it, I watch it. It’s awesome.

I remember it on tv a while back but never liked it.

that was when I was fairly young though, so I’ll have to give it another shake

Do.

It’s totally off-the-wall, but freakin’ hilarious.

I never found that show funny

which is odd because it’s a good cast.

It gets old fast.

I can watch an episode and really enjoy it, but after two, I’m done for a while.

The first season was freakin' awesome

the second season was decent, so was the movie, but otherwise I lost interest a long time ago.

It's out there.

I’ve managed to convert my girlfriend into a fan to pretty much every show I love, from The Wire to Aqua Teen Hunger Force, but she thinks Stella is the stupidest show she’s ever seen. And she’s watched like half the episodes, so there’s no SSS issues. She just despises it.

It’s quite odd.

We just started re-watching Space Ghost Coast To Coast

I forgot how completely awesome it was.

The episode where the captain is stuck under the soda machine

is one of the funniest things that show ever did.

I love that show so much.

The first season starts slow, but becomes hysterical about half way through.

enjoyed The Boondocks as well.

Agreed.

That's right.

I also liked the one where granddad picks up a “ho” at the grocery store from “A Pimp Named Slickback”.

Once they hit their stride it was unbeatable

and the spinoffs were great too. The Brak Show should have lasted longer than it did.

I watch it while she's at work.

It’s like my secret porn stash or something.

That's me and bad horror movies.

My wife HATES them, so I have to watch ‘em when she’s not home.

I'm not holding out too much hope,

but the box set — complete with extras — is already made and ready to go.

The State’s website posted this note in March:

We are sorry to report The State DVD is STILL has no release date. We worked closely with MTV last year to make a wonderful DVD set with lots of extras, and the DVDs are completed, but they have chosen not to release the set at this time. We don’t know why.

What I'm looking forward to:

1) My wedding
2) My honeymoon
3) A better sports year for the PNW.

Gotta love the auto-Google-mapping that AP does.

Pointing toward the city in the dateline, which is nowhere near Yellowstone. Sigh.

I figure smoke 'em if you've got 'em.

Not all that worried about the apocalypse.

Screw you, Mariners. I'm back in football's loving arms. *edit: well, shit. This isn't going well.

And if you don't got 'em,

take someone else’s and smoke ’em.

Me neither

I can’t control when the apocalypse arrives, so all I can do is make sure I’ve had enough beer to cope with it when it does.

If the apocolypse hits,

I may need more than just beer.
