    Schneider on WA income tax affect on FA

    This bill has a long way to go before it actually becomes law. In my opinion, it is almost certainly against the state constitution, which says that any "property" tax be graduated, in other words, that it not apply to a single class of taxpayers. For example, federal income tax is a graduated...

    Woolen, How Much

    Woolen is definitely one of those "wait and see" types of decisions. If someone is dumb enough to offer him a $20M/year contract, then let him walk. Make him come back to us on his knees begging. Otherwise, don't let the door hit ya where the Good Lord split ya.

    Geno Smith done in Vegas after one season

    Geno's behavior during his DUI arrest and his implying that multiple coaches of his were racists by rationalizing his failure to win a starting job in the 6–7-year interim between his Jets and Hawks gigs really soured me on him. One of the plays that sticks out in my mind was vs. the Niners in...

    SI SBLX Edition

    Hehe! Not with her. It's a little hard for me to explain. Despite her looks, which obviously were over the top, I never fantasized about her. I've known her since 7th grade, and at no time was there any hint of a romance on either of our parts. Even though she was always friendly towards...

    SI SBLX Edition

    Yeah, no silicone enhancements in Africa back then. One of my high school graduating class's claims to fame is that one of my classmates was a Playboy Playmate of the Month. Prior to her appearance in the magazine, there were all sorts of rumors floating around town, then the month she was...

    Imagine.

    I wouldn't say that I wasn't worried. I watched every single play from the edge of my seat, uptight the entire time. Any bad play, like when Woolen got that taunting penalty vs. the Rams in the NFCCG, it would send me into a tirade laced with 4 letter words.

    SI SBLX Edition

    Do you remember the SI jinx, where it was a curse for which ever CFB team they ranked #1? That issue was always one that I started reading as soon as it arrived. I remember going into my favorite barber shop and I could never find the proprietor's copy of SI as inevitably someone was reading...

    Imagine.

    I wouldn't say that our Lombardi still hasn't hit me, but I understand the sentiment. I started getting a very subjective, championship-type feeling sometime around Thanksgiving and the first Rams game, and it wasn't just from looking at our team. The two defending conference champs, Chiefs...

    Imagine.

    One of those "if your aunt had balls, she'd be your uncle" thoughts.

    SI SBLX Edition

    Sports Illustrated magazine. What a blast from the past! I subscribed to it for at least 30 years. Their photography was always top notch. I used to hold the swimsuit issue up with one hand. Along with newspapers, magazines are nothing more than museum pieces anymore. I used to subscribe...

    NFL and Obesity

    That's true. I worked for 40 years in the potato processing industry. In all of our research, the only spice or additive we could identify that actually increased the amount of French fries a person eats is salt. Our customers, fast food restaurants like McD's, BK, et al, know this, so...

    NFL and Obesity

    My doctor prescribed Zepbound for me almost exactly one year ago. I lost 45 pounds, or about 20% of my body weight. Doc told me that there was a 95% chance that I'd regain it all within 2 years after going off the drug. I've been off it for 3 months and so far, I'm within 5 pounds of my...

    NFL and Obesity

    All of that is true, but even if it accounts for half of those technically considered obese, that still leaves over 1/4 of all players. I'm no doctor, but my guess is that for the NFL, it's not a huge issue as you're talking about players that are in their 20's and 30's, but they really should...

    I asked AI who would buy the Seahawks

    Not knowing much about most of those people mentioned, Balmer would be at the top of my list. Gates has taken himself out of the running as he's said publicly that he has no interest in owning a sports franchise, and even if he was interested, there's no way the league is going to take on...

    Seahawks.NET Memorial Forum - Please Read First

    My dad was an avid Seahawk fan and lifelong football fan in general. He died of lung cancer in 1985, two days before his 60th birthday. He was a 2-3 pack a day smoker for the majority of his adult life. With his generation, i.e. the Greatest Generation, if you were a male that didn't smoke...

    Why did Zack wait this long?

    That's probably the most likely reason.

    Any time limit on how long a fan has been deceased? My dad was a big Seahawks fan and passed away in 1985. I have some pretty interesting tidbits associated with him that people might enjoy.

    Why did Zack wait this long?

    I'm not sure if it has anything to do with Zach's surgery, but my wife was diagnosed with kidney cancer on Feb. 3rd, surgery proposed on 2/5, and she's yet to even talk to a surgeon not to mention getting one scheduled. My PCP, who is also a personal friend, tells me that he's seen cases where...

    Seahawks are officially up for sale

    I don't think you need to worry about DJT. As you said, the other owners wouldn't allow it. It takes 24 out of the 32 to approve an ownership change. But I'm a little mystified about your charge that Bezos "runs everything into the ground for profit." Certainly, Amazon wasn't "run into the...

    Bears relocating to Indiana?

    That's what I thought about when I saw this story, too, along with the Chiefs bid to move to Kansas.
