    Teams "lining up down the block" to sign Daniel Jones.

    Jones just made $46M in a year, on top of earnings of $26.13M from his rookie contract, so his financial security is guaranteed. He's already "playing with house money" in the sense that he's already had more of an NFL career and a lot more career earnings than you'd expect from a guy who was...

    Geno Smith is Dave Krieg….

    Haha... that reminds me of me celebrating the Seahawks beating the Dolphins in Miami in the divisional round of the playoffs after the magical 1983 season. I think I was wearing my numberless royal-blue Seahawks jersey, and I was definitely wearing my Seahawks helmet. I ran around my...

    Geno Smith is Dave Krieg….

    In addition to beating both the Giants and hated Broncos that season (the Broncos only once - the Seahawks lost the game in Denver), Krieg and the Seahawks also went to Foxborough in September of '86 to face the team that had lost the previous Super Bowl. The Seahawks won that one, and I was in...

    Are you not entertained!?!

    Yeah, just so we're clear, I'm really happy with the defense and with the team being in first place in the division in late November. I wanted some of the folks who predicted 12-5 or better for the Seahawks to be right, and some of them made some interesting arguments in favor of their...

    Are you not entertained!?!

    I agree with you that that's really good, but... The answer to this question is the large number of .NETters who picked the Seahawks to go 12-5 or better this season. They wouldn't have been psyched at all for 6-5 and by-the-skin-of-their-teeth first place after 11 games.

    Who is this Kimes chick

    @hawks85, who the hell are you to question somebody else's right to be a Seahawks fan, no matter where she was born? I was born in New Jersey and grew up in Maine. I have lived in Brazil for over 24 years. I have no family from the Pacific Northwest, have never lived there, and have no...

    Can't copy & paste images

    I always forget that there are people who access .NET through their phones a lot more than I do.

    Can't copy & paste images

    I honestly don't know the details, but the image above was pasted into this message, so I'm gonna go out on a limb and diagnose this one as "PEBCAK."

    Which Of These Defines You As A 12

    I've told these things many times before around here, but I'll repeat them here. I grew up in Maine. I'm the same age as @AROS, so I was six in 1975, when my neighbors taught me to play football. The town police chief lived up near the end of our street, and his youngest son Chuck, three...

    Aros' Fearless Prediction Thread (vs Rams)

    ...and practice-squad call-up Thornton Mellon brings the Rams from behind to win the game by successfully performing a Triple Lindy, worth 33 points due to a near-forgotten rule.

    12th man advantage is gone?

    Home-field advantage is something about which I try not to think too much, because when you look at it carefully, the inescapable conclusion is that home-field advantage would disappear if the refs were all robots. It doesn't come from "sleeping in your own bed" or "eating home-cooked meals,"...

    Tennessee Volunteers are now a pro football team?

    Having gone and looked, and not being somebody who watches college football, I ask a different question. The Tennessee Volunteers copied the Buccaneers' "creamsicle" jersey from the '70s?

    Pffffffffft! You Chucky Come-Latelies obviously don't remember the glory days of Patera, back when Knox was head coach of the Rams and then the Bills, when you just knew some crazy $#!+ was gonna happen whenever the Seahawks were on MNF. Efren Herrera forever! Now get off my lawn!

    Baker, 4th to Titans for LB Ernest Jones IV

    Since you used the term "permissible overpayment," I'm pretty sure we agree on the trade.

    Baker, 4th to Titans for LB Ernest Jones IV

    The Seahawks gave up a player who is good enough to make an NFL roster plus a fourth-round draft pick for a player who looks like a clear upgrade. But it can be true that it's an upgrade, and simultaneously true that the Seahawks gave up too much for three months of control of the player who is...

    49ers fear WR Aiyuk tore ACL

    I can't believe the attitude among some here is to laugh at this. There are so many reasons it's not in the least bit funny. First and foremost, Aiyuk is a human being, and a major injury like that in a human being isn't funny. I guess I can imagine a situation in which somebody who tortured...

    RW3-and-out doing his thing...

    Yeah, the ideal situation is that he plays just well enough this year for the Title Stealers to give him a big multiyear contract, and then he reverts to form. I just don't think that's very likely. He might have a game or two in which he looks good, but he's not a top-half-of-the-league...

    RW3-and-out doing his thing...

    ...and Steelers fans are already booing him.

    Chiefs @ Niners

    Looks like the Gold Diggers' "get-right game" got them right for that game only. Gotta go. I want to watch the rest of this. Big game, Super Bowl rematch, and the home team is getting pantsed in Santa Clara.

    Will DK or Lockett get traded?

    (To OP) "Sir, there's a Mr. Betteridge on line one."
