As some commenters here like to note Seattle is full of lib losers.

For such a low population area, we seem to be doing our part for capitalism. Like Nordstrom, Costco, Starbucks, Microsoft, REI, Amazon, Filson, Cutter & Buck, Real Networks, and a bunch of biotech.

Yes, the official headquarters of Boeing is now Chicago, but they still manufacture all over this area. And, we did snag Cray's headquarters from WI, so y'all live in your own proverbial glass house.

Not to mention that an unemployment rate with a 4% handle isn't so bad.

Just sayin.; 1/18/15, 8:45 PM

Guildofcannonballs said...: Titus is right. This NFL, which refused Limbaugh ownership because they claim and feel Limbaugh is a bigot, is all blue.

Wake up fools.

Let the players jump and run, Americans have concerns.

If you think America has problems yet expend emotion on a ball, fuck off.

And you wife beaters better
Watch more cause they got lessons for you.; 1/18/15, 9:36 PM

Not TV spots. A hero like that breads reasons for Planned Parenthood to murder soon-to-be babies.; 1/18/15, 9:38 PM

Why do we let them divide us like that?; 1/18/15, 9:40 PM
Guildofcannonballs said...: You gave up on the NBA, and now I declare you shall give up on the NFL.

mccullough said...: Frustrating loss for the Packers. A season bookended by road losses at Seattle. Rodgers injury hampered his effectiveness, much like Manning's last week.

Brady and Belichick breathe easier since they won't face Eli Manning and The Giants again in The Super Bowl.; 1/18/15, 10:25 PM
David said...: Not a born killer among them, unfortunately. The Pack needed some wolves.

It's a short trip from R-E-L-A-X to R-E-L-O-A-D.; 1/18/15, 10:46 PM
chillblaine said...: Get the domestic violence hotlines prepared for the rush! Mika asserts that wife-beating spikes during the big game.

First we have to survive the MLK rioting, er, civil disobedience, er, protests, er. peaceful marches.; 1/18/15, 10:59 PM

furious_a said...: I heard that John Kerry and James Taylor flew back with the Pack from Seattle.; 1/19/15, 1:54 AM
SomeoneHasToSayIt said...: Mental mistakes cost the Packer's the game. By the head coach, on several over-cautious occasions, and by at least two of the players (Burnett and Bostick).

Thinking with situational contextual awareness, folks. There is no substitute for that. In football or in life.; 1/19/15, 6:01 AM
Phil 314 said...: furious,
My thoughts exactly. Wisconsin needs a hug.; 1/19/15, 6:37 AM
SomeoneHasToSayIt said...: I think I know how to fix Packers.

McCarthy needs to give up play calling. He is so focused the entire game on 'the next play', down, distance, run/pass mix - in other words, 'the trees' - that he misses the critical 'forest'. The macro ebb and flow of the game, what sort of aggressiveness is called for, or not. He just flat out misses it.

Look at Pete Carroll and Bill Belichek. You don't see their noses in the playbook the whole game, and so they have a better feel for how the game is going.; 1/19/15, 7:07 AM
Humperdink said...: You can lay the blame for Packer loss directly at the feet of the coach. On the onside kick, instead of putting the "hands" team out, he puts out the "facemask" team. Tough to recover a football in your grille.

Not real smart.; 1/19/15, 7:09 AM

Pretty sure the "hands" team was out there...Jordie Nelson isn't on the return team.; 1/19/15, 7:52 AM

@Curious doesn't get jokes, Humperdink.

Not when there as dumb and unfunny as yours. And his. But mostly yours.; 1/19/15, 9:58 AM

Yeah, after that last interception it looked like they decided they'd already won and decided to coast. I almost jumped out of my chair when Burnett slid after the interception, like there were 30 seconds left instead of 3 minutes.

You can bet New England won't let up on the gas like the Packers did.; 1/19/15, 10:31 AM
