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?

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.

the problem though, is that the final in on Monday at like 5:30 which means you lose at least a half-day of work if you work in San Diego

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.

Matt Hasselbeck

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

by abender20 on Dec 30, 2008 10:16 AM PST up reply 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.

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.

2009's so in flux to start out that I really have no idea what I'm looking forward to.

I’m looking for a job, so I’m looking forward to that… or if I don’t get a job, I’m looking forward to getting out of class in May.

Oh and a few other things I'm looking forward to in 2009

New Neko Case album. Which hopefully means tour.
A resumption of my Summer Tour Of Baseball Stadia, which has taken a back seat to other crap in previous years.
Arsene Wenger spending money in January for a change.

Looking forward to:

2. Outfield defense
3. I think I’m going to buy a suit for the first time in my life.

Things I hope to see but probably won’t:
1. “The State” finally being released on DVD
2. Seattle
3. A WSU team performing well.

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.

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.

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.

I have my guitar that I still haven’t learned how to play. It’s for my 15 year old, he wants a new trumpet and the one he REALLY wants is over a thousand bucks. He’s been playing for about five years, and he’s in Marching Band, so it’s probably a good long term investment, but WOW!!
