Sports Monday Morning Sports Report
posted by on November 20 at 9:38 AM
Seahawks: 20-14. Ouch. The highlights: Seneca Wallace’s TD passes to Deion Branch and Darrell Jackson. The lowlights: Let’s see… there was Shaun Alexander’s return (17 carries, 37 yards), Wallace’s three INTs, Jerramy Stevens’s fumble, and the Hawks’ D giving up 212 rushing yards to Frank Gore.
(Alexander’s meager outing can be forgiven. Seneca Wallace’s rookie-like bungling, on the other hand…)
Over at the Seattle Times, Steve Kelley is calling the Hawks’ Super Bowl dreams over.
On the Hawks blog Field Gulls, “Shrug” is a tad angry:
Our defense: Terrible.Our mental mistakes: Terrible.
Our playcalling on 4th-and-1-or-2 situations: Skull-crushingly, eye-gougingly, brow-beatingly, intelligence-insultingly, head-rammingly awful pathetic bad wrong sick ugly stupid stupid stupid TERRIBLE.
At the P.I., Art Thiel sums up the game nicely:
In the world of large, sweaty, mean men, it is unacceptable to show up with a canoe and picnic basket expecting a delightful day on the lake.
The Hawks are now 6-4. San Francisco is 5-5. One small silver lining: Mike in MO’s Rams got shut out by the Carolina Panthers, are now two games back at 4-6.
Up next: Monday Night Football returns, this time for the Hawks vs. Green Bay. Tony Kornheiser’s lame coffee and rain quips start NOW.
Apple Cup: Ty Willingham gets it. Beat the Cougs and the boosters won’t be as quick to call for your head.
Mariners: Japanese pitcher Kei Igawa posts today, and the M’s might make an offer.
Elsewhere: As pointed out by Chicago Fan, the Cubs are going to pay Alfonso Soriano $136 million for eight years, prompting Slog regular Gomez to comment:
Enjoy your 95 losses in 2007, Cubbies, along with those 35 errors at 2nd base or right field or wherever you stash ol’ High-sox the Hacker.
Also: Ohio State 1, Michigan 2, USC 3; Donovan McNabb is done for the season; and, in the freakish stat department, San Diego RB LaDainian Tomlinson has scored 14 touchdowns in his last four games.
Thanks for reminding me. How many days 'til spring training?
My Husky fiance won an Apple Cup bet with a typical conservative bigot Coug, and now gets to plaster the loser's car with bumper stickers. So we were shocked at the paucity of big gay bumper stickers in Capitol Hill's retail district... where does one go to get a giant rainbow "Oy vey, I'm gay!" sticker in this town, anyway?
I cringed when they gave the ball to Alexander on 4th and 2, even though there was only one defender in the backfield by the time he got the ball, rather than the normal two or three. Alexander did well to lose only one yard.
Michigan deserves a rematch, pure and simple. They only lost by three points—at Ohio State. It’s not like this game was in a neutral venue. Besides…..screw Ohio State. They needed a blown call do-over to get their phony BS National Championship over Miami. That was even worse than Colorado’s 5th down championship.
I say this as 1980s UW alum. As such, the axis of evil is: 1) Miami, 2) Michigan, and 3) Satan—in that order. Sorry Cougs, you ain’t on the list, ‘tho it is funny to see how much you suck when you’re supposed to win—even worse than us, or the Seaslugs.
My god. The Huskies have become the new Oregon State Beavers of the 21st century. I'll expect a winning season in, lets say 25 years.
Neuheisel is better off staying far, far away from college ball causing the eventual ruin of NFL teams...
Ah, yes, Spring Training. Thursday, 1 March. 100 days from today.
Oh, it's not that long. Remember the most beautiful words in the English language: "pitchers and catchers report today". less than three months!
Agreed FNARF, agreed. I feel lost until baseball is in the air.
For the M's , it is quite simple:
Get Kei Igawa I mean he is no Daisuke Matsuzaka, but he will get us 12 to 14 wins.
If you guys missed Matsuzaka at the baseball world baseball classic tournament, you missed a true ace. That guy has it all. Think Nuomo with more control. The Bo Sox did the right thing, I wish Bavasi had gone after him, but the M's just dont get it.
Ann Arbor is a whore!!
USC deserves to play the Buckeyes. I dont like SC, but they deserve to play them, Wolverines had their chance. Just give the Buckeyes the title. Woody Hayes has risen from the grave.
Fuck Michigan and Fuck Notre Dame!!
Long live Penn State and Joe Pa!!
HOORAY for being quoted.
Seeing teams throw stupid-large money at free agents makes me feel better and better about the idea of the M's not doing much this offseason, though since Bill Bavasi knows his ass is on the line this year, and knowing his fetish for the big-splash signing, I have a feeling he's gonna throw dumb money towards at least one free agent. Suddenly, Jason Schmidt at 4/60 is looking more and more attractive (though he might command more than that in this market).
Hell, I could even live with 2-3 years of Adam Eaton at Washburn money if it means minimizing the M's participation in what has become a ridiculous offseason.
In trying to find a silver lining this weekend I realized my weekends are now free to do other things as Penn State (We are!) is finished and, for all intents and purposes, so are my Eagles.
Be happy your franchise QB is coming back this season from his knee injury Seahawks fans. Mine is done for a year...and my team for longer than that.
As far as bowls go, I hope there's a way Oklahoma gets to play Oregon to make up for that BS loss.
The Niners decided to take away the run and challenge Wallace to throw the ball. Wallace looked both off-target and over-confident yesterday. A bad combo for a qb -- with no Rams-like D help. Frank Gore tops the 1000 yd mark with a 200 yard rushing effort. Thump-a-lump!
Credit to the D, though, for another late-game turnover that gave us a chance. But, say cheese! -- Wallace throws the pick.
Just sayin', too, but the Niners are now 5-5 and in 2nd place in the division. 4-12, and 2-14 over the last two seasons, yes, but not so "lowly" this year, are they?
The worst time of the year? The period between the Super Bowl and Spring Training. Dark days, indeed.
Horrible call by Holmgren on 4th and 2. And Jerramy Stevens is a drunken piece of shit.
fnarf wins.
and jerramy stevens IS drunk!
dark days between Super Bowl and Spring Training?!? College hoops, hombre! UW may suck at football, but their b-ball team is a force to reckon with.
USC will top Michigan at #2 if they beat UCLA and Notre Dame. Oh, and the axis of evil is:
1. Miami, 2. Notre Dame, 3. Michigan, 4. BYU, 5. Satan.
You forgot a couple in there.
I haven't been able to conjure up any feelings for college sports, ever. Too much to keep track of, and I always worry if those little Lottery Tickets have done their homework.
Doba gets one more season, if that.
I can't believe we're already yearning for baseball. Didn't we just get over that shit?
Thanks for the quote, Slog! Wish it came under better circumstances of course...
