I mean, so is Detroit.

This is a quality burn, though I'd wager it applies to most of the country outside the Northeast and Midwest regions,not just the West Coast. On the other hand, if the NFL really cared about that kind of thing, the Dallas Cowboys wouldn't be in the NFC East.

In the NFL, with its limited number of games and rigid start times, your point is valid. But how many east coast folks are staying up to watch Mariners/Kraken/Blazers/etc games that start at 10pm Eastern? That said, these days, I think a lot of the "bias" people hear is more properly described...

This is my main concern for the Seahawks in 2026.

This is why I listen to the Seahawks radio call when I watch TV if possible. If I'm gonna hear biased announcers, I want to hear ones that know and care about the Hawks. Plus, like the M's with Niehaus and the Sonics with Collabro, it isn't a Hawks game without Raible in my ears.

MVP is a regular season award. Has always been thus. Not that I'm arguing about Stafford. As much as I dislike the Rams, Stafford was amazing this year. The real argument about Maye winning the MVP is that the Pats had a weak strength of schedule. Not Maye's fault, you can only play the teams...

I would buy into this statement, or at least be interested in seeing some data comparing the two. Regardless, anyone who thinks that the LoB was somehow significantly better than this group is mistaken. I'll listen to opinions about one over the other, I'm sure there are arguments to be made...

Stoked to see the win! Very unexpectedly enjoyable season. I mean, I felt like the hawks were a team on the way up, but not quite this fast! Defense was amazing. Didn't let their foot off the gas until garbage time. Very few mistakes and some amazing plays. Special teams could easily get the SB...

I was surprised this morning when Evan pointed out that we were up to 4 years. How about that! Thank you to everyone who makes this place what it is. All those who answer newbie questions, share the website with fisherfolk they meet, chip in a few bucks to support us, help encourage the...

This might be the best OMJ anecdote on the thread. And hell, he wasn't wrong.

The sports world HOT TAKES melting down over belichick not getting in the HOF on the first ballot is kinda funny. I mean, don't get me wrong, the guy deserves to be in the HOF for his on field work. But I also have little sympathy for him. Treat people like a jerk for years, have your team...

There's also an argument to be made that the taunting penalties are really dumb (and unevenly enforced). Are players hurting other player's feelings? Unless they are dropping slurs or getting personal about families and whatnot, I have a hard time caring. Yes, rules are rules even if they are...

It did for sure. But there's a strong argument that Macdonald should have pulled him from that next play to get his head back in the game. Because that didn't happen, Stafford/McVay were savvy enough to go right at him.

The NFL's gambling overlords would not allow such a thing. HEADS WOULD ROLL

I suspect he gets it and feels extremely lucky. He's a fairly young guy playing in the biggest game of his career. Made a mistake, and not even a mistake with his play (until the next snap, anyway). But a silly mistake after the whistle. Just got too excited and acted stupid. I suspect we all...

Ehhhh, how many of those names would have been called "star power" before the season? JSN for sure, Williams for those who know, maybe stat heads making a case for someone like Spoon or Love. But Darnold? K9? Jones III? They didn't get national respect or the star label. Especially before this...

Football has nothing on hockey announcers for that kind of stuff.

I find the fact that neither of these teams were given any chance pre-season to make the SB to be a pretty cool thing. Hawks were 60-1 and Pats 80-1. Far more interesting than the "SUPERBOWL XLIX REMATCH" drivel we're going to hear for the next two weeks.

I feel good about the Hawks against the Pats. On the surface it seems tough for the Pats to match up. Vegas generally agrees, with the opening line being Hawks -5. That said, teams don't get to the Superbowl because they are shitty. And there's a lot more luck in winning one individual game...

Refs taking the L. Fans who just like watching good football taking the W.
