[pangaia]

[tk2kewl]

1. an old-fashioned whoopin' in progess

[spanone]

2. a bad football game.

[fleur-de-lisa]

3. Ugh! I'm watching too and this game blows!

[muntrv]

4. Don't forget the 1992 AFC wildcard game when Buffalo came

back from 35-3 to beat Houston.

[WhaTHellsgoingonhere]

12. Hehehehe

[403Forbidden]

5. The Seahawks are hemorrhaging from everywhere. Red Cross mobile blood bank has been requested.

[a kennedy]

6. Ha ha, isn't Carolina just getting revenge for the loss to the seahags last year?

Don't really care who wins either game today....my Packers lost yesterday.

[pangaia]

8. Yea, mine too.

[fizzgig]

9. that was a heartbreaker

[KamaAina]

11. "Seahags" FTW!

[Lizzie Poppet]

7. I don't watch a lot of pointyball.

Had this game on, for some reason, on a stream on my second monitor. What a terrible game...now turned off: Barcelona v Bilbao is on.

[KamaAina]

10. Clueless In Seattle!!

As announcer Nelson Muntz put it:

[PowerToThePeople]

13. People on DU watch football?

An extremely partisan, violent, winner take all game that sells women as sexual items and booze?

Not for me, no thanks.

[Brickbat]

14. "Sells woman as sexual items and booze."

NOT THE BOOZE.

[PowerToThePeople]

16. I used to partake often

Especially during the shrub years.

Any more I view it as a waste of money and I enjoy not being dehydrated with a headache in the morning.

I won't fault anyone else for their drinking, but I do think advertisers push it too much and it influences underage children towards it. I think advertising alcoholic beverages should go the way cigarette advertising went.

[Codeine]

20. Inevitable cartoon liberal post. nt

[nadinbrzezinski]

21. Well some of us enjoy the off the field game

Will they stay or will they go? (Chargers)

[cheapdate]

29. I've had this argument with my boss many times.

He says (paraphrasing) : 'Your hobbies and diversions (football) are senseless and inane but my hobbies and diversions (music) are purposeful and fulfilling.'

I say everyone has their hobbies and interests and far be it for me to judge one over the other.

Football is a sport, a spectacle, and a deep tradition where I'm from (Alabama). Thanksgiving as a child meant my cousins and I running around my grandparent's house while the men watched Alabama football on television. The football tradition is bone deep in my family.

[JanMichael]

30. it is a pretty awful cultural sport but i do partake.

i prefer college basketball and football though.

football is a violent land acquisition game (movie quote) but that is america...

[SMC22307]

35. "sells women as sexual items and booze?"... eats, shoots and leaves?

I'll be tuning into the Steelers, then Downton, then Sherlock. What a true Renaissance Woman!

[Dr. Strange]

37. Three points for the self-righteous use of sexual/violent imagery.

Minus one for failure to use terms like "hegemony" or "hetero-normative".

[cilla4progress]

15. Do any of you know the storyline of my Seahawks?

A bunch of 3rd round draft picks. Too small. Too slow. Always playing beyond their profile. No quit in them. Beginning with Steve Largent.

If you did you wouldn't be dissing them to this extent. I feel terrible for them. They are such competitors. So humble. Serve their community in so many ways.

Washington resident here. Football fan. Huge Seahawks fan. These guys owe me nothing. They have given me - and every other fan - so much fun and thrills over the years!

Any other 'Hawks fans out there? Help me out here.

If you're not - YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU'RE MISSING!

[403Forbidden]

17. But you guys already won a Superbowl...

... so it's not like the city is starving for a championship, like other cities..

[cilla4progress]

25. Ok, I'll definitely bite on that!

Didn't think of it that way.

I just want them to end the season feeling good about themselves, as they should. And not badly hurt.

[KamaAina]

36. If Kaenerpick had had one more inch of loft on that goddamn pass

the Sea Hags would not have had a sniff of the Superb Owl, and we would have walked all over the Donkos.

[OldHippieChick]

18. Looks like they'll have a little more

time to do all those good works.

[mnhtnbb]

19. Seahawks forgot to have their Starbucks this morning.

I'm lovin' it!

[pangaia]

22. Second half return OK HERE WE GO..

[pangaia]

23. OK THAT's ONE !!!

[cilla4progress]

26. Woot!

Go D!

[ChisolmTrailDem]

24. 31-7, Panthers. nt

[pangaia]

28. THAT'S TWO !!!

[mnhtnbb]

31. A WIN for the Panthers! Hooray!

[X_Digger]

32. Why is this sports shit in GD? n/t

[Aerows]

34. Because people in GD are interested

in commenting on this sports shit in GD. It's the playoffs. It's not like anyone is running up stats or anything, just commenting on scores.

[Aerows]

33. I think the Panthers

gave them a few just so the Seahawks wouldn't feel so badly about themselves.

[pangaia]

38. LOL !!
