    faith and contracts.

    Ugggggghhhhhh Has nobody here ever negotiated a salary? Character/faith/loyalty is not a factor. You get as much money as you can using leverage and pressure. Don't read anything else into the process; it's just business.

    Deflategate basically over after today's press conf

    One thing that's clear is they're not going to be able to pull this crap in the SB, like they've been doing at least all year. The over-under on number of Pats fumbles should be a gabillion.5, and take the over.

    Hello Hawks fans, your help is requested.

    - Sports are supposed to be fun. - If it's fun for people to jump on the Hawks' bandwagon, they should do that. - If it's fun for you to root for a team whose fans throw batteries at Santa Claus, that's fine too I guess.

    Bill Belicheat's Eligible Lineman Loophole

    Yes; no requirement that the interior linemen have to line up together. (The disadvantage in this formation is that the ineligible player isn't close enough to the ball to protect the QB, can't catch any forward pass, & can't go past the line of scrimmage on a pass that crosses the line.) The...

    NFL SHOULD NOT LET.......

    These guys need to be allowed to interview for these jobs to advance their careers. It's not like there are a ton of openings all the time.

    Levi Stadium predicted to be as loud as Seattle's

    Apropos of nothing, but how come nobody ever listens to me? I am ALWAYS RIGHT. People should listen to me, dammit. That is all.

    Customs screw job on my 'Hawks Season Tix---advice please

    Just another reason why I love this franchise. I seriously doubt any other team would do this for its season ticket holders... at least, they wouldn't make it this easy.

    Best of Rice tribute thread

    I'll always remember the Chicago TD in '12... amazing effort to get to the goal line FTW in OT, and then KTFO'd. And that win felt like a definitive turning point.

    Seahawks Vs. Texans

    This was basically my favorite game of the regular season. Big win on the road against a tough team. Richard Sherman basically broke the Texans. Schaub was never the same, and Houston didn't win a game the rest of the way (from Week 4!).

    Advice needed for a fan in limbo!

    Sports is supposed to be fun; root for whoever you want. There are people who get resentful when the bandwagon fills up because they suffered through bad seasons following a team, and they consider that some kind of badge of honor; it's not. Have fun.

    Ok, we need real advice for scoring NFCC Tickets

    - Don't count on getting tickets Monday morning. There won't be that many available; last week I believe we heard there were about 200. - Keep monitoring online sites. I've had success in the past using eBay to get playoff tickets in various cities at a good value; look for reputable sellers...

    Accessing I-90E from Centurylink Garage after the game?

    The garage has an entrance/exit to the south on Royal Brougham. There's a corkscrew ramp that takes Royal Brougham over the train tracks east of the garage exit; you'll have to go over that, turn right on 4th, then up a ramp and left a the light on the SR-519/Edgar Martinez Rd. overpass, which...

    Levi Stadium predicted to be as loud as Seattle's

    That's the same general design as Philips Arena in Atlanta; all the luxury boxes/suites are stacked on one side. Did not really make things louder there; you wind up sacrificing any noise coming from that side (people in suites don't yell). One of the reasons CenturyLink works is because the...

    Vegas Sportsbook Question

    For actually watching games I like Blondie's, a sports bar/restaurant in the Miracle Mile shops adjacent to Planet Hollywood casino. You can wager at PH and then walk over the Blondie's, which actually has really good wings and beer choices. (Just got back from my 14th annual Vegas trip & had...

    Lynch misses second straight practice

    This sounds like one of those "injuries". They have to report something when he doesn't practice. Marshawn takes a beating all season, starting way back in training camp, and he doesn't really need to practice, does he? This gives him a couple days off.
