Rip I go to baseball games only.

And.....I have a 54 in. Hi Def Television.

Why would I want to pay what are ridiculous prices to sit with drunken fools
in a football stadium?

IMHO baseball fans, and I do have over 50 years of experience in these sporting matters
are well mannered, it's played during the best part of the year, and in general the ticket prices
are significantly lower.  Don't get me wrong I love football.  But I'm not paying 100 dollars for a seat,
drive 60 miles and sit with a large number of drunken belligerents, when I can sit in the recliner, and the
Beer isn't 10 dollars per can  along with paying 20 dollars to park.  I take my family to baseball games
and I would not consider taking them to an NFL game.  It's not family friendly at all.

Unfortunately through the years things change, and in the NFLs case not for the better for the fans
who wish to bring and pay for family.   I'm not paying 400 dollars for seats, or a PSL which is three
times that amount.  To many ignorant Fans now I am afraid.  It's a pity.  Didn't used to be that way.
My 54 inch HD TV in the warmth of my home on a comfortable seat with anything I want trumps
attending an NFL game thank you very much.  I'll attend it from here and see oft times more things
from my recliner then the fans at the stadium.

Who goes to every game?  Ticket resales for 4X what you pay for them (on the good years like the past two) LOL!

We split season tickets with a friend, but we only go to 1 or 2 games a year out of 'our 5'.
Needless to say we didn't get picked in the lottery for the SB.
I'd definately go at $800 a piece but no way in hell I'm paying $2400 for an after market ticket. :bhead

Did anyone notice the expression on Harbaugh's face when he learned that it was Sherman that tipped the ball.... Priceless....

This was mentioned before but it's still no excuse for what he did. Still, he's a great guy regardless of what people think about him.  He's off to the best start of a 3 year corner in the history of the NFL. Stats don't lie.

Not making excuses. Payback is a squeak

Sorry Hawks fans, its not your year. Its the year of the bighead, he wants to retire but wants another ring so the NFL (errrr money) said ok its yours bighead. The story was written from the start of the season, all the records and stuff so after the season BigHead (Manning) and DonkeyTeeth(Elway) will buy the team, hold hands and skip off into the sunset smoking some MJ, cuz that's all of us here in Colorado do now. I would hope like heck that #25( not sure of his name or #) guy burns Bighead for 4 or more picks, but alas its not in the story line.

Sorry Hawks but you only https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SKRma7PDW10

Thank you for your sympathies, but for now your emotion is more urgently needed by the basketball team.  ;)

Touche. Our basketball team definitely is in an unusual slump as of late. Hopefully they pick up the slack and they get their game back together by the time March rolls around.

Nice 9 minute summary of the NFC Championship game, mic'd up. None of us Seahawk fans were surprised at Sherm's play at the end, we've watched him do it for 3 years now.

His antics are much more tolerable than Asante Samuel and Asomugha's. For two years those clowns were on the field at the same time, collectively lowering everyone's moral integrity simultaneously.
They're casting their bait over there, see?

A couple of updates:
You cannot find a Sherm jersey in this state unless it's a Triple XXX large.
Seahawk fans are out-buying Bronco fans by 20% on Super Bowl 48 tickets/packages.
As the Delta 767 arrived, a FA held the 12th man flag outside the cockpit, too low, and the heated pitot tube melted a hole in it. The pilot noticed when it became 'entangled' while wrapped around the pitot tube and he asked the FA to hold it up higher. The flag had a hole melted in it! LOL!
Sherm's press conference was a zoo, by far the largest so far when the planes landed for both teams.
Both teams flew AMERICAN ALUMINUM...If it ain't Boeing, THEY'RE NOT GOING.  :rock
I came close to pulling the trigger for wife and I to fly out to the Super Bowl this afternoon but common sense grabbed me by the balls. :)
And lastly, this city is ALIVE with Seahawk football. You cannot even stand in a check out line at a grocery store with a Seahawk story coming up!


GO HAWKS!

Trash talking is part of the NFL and it's a motivator for underpaid corners like Sherman. He's a colorful character who gives back so much to this community. He's our guy, trash him all you want...we LOVE Richard Sherman. Nothing will ever change that.

Seems like Simmons has been tripping over himself as off late trying to apologize for his actions.  If he would only just listen to the fans who find that behavior acceptable and even desirable   :rolleyes:
