Slog - Comments on Seattle Will Win, and Barry Bonds indicted http://slog.thestranger.com/2007/11/seattle_will_win_and_barry_bonds_indicte Seattle will win Sunday. I say this because the geniuses that run the Chicago Bears have decided Rex Grossman will start while Brian Griese lets his injured non-throwing shoulder owie heal. Grossman's only problem as a starter is that he rattles easily, he cannot handle anything resembling an unpredictable blitz, and if it's too noisy, he's useless. Seattle will rush unpredictably, rattle him, and the noise makes the over-under on fumbles on the exchange with center 3.5, with the over-under for false start penalties 7.5. So. I surrender. The Chicago Tribune even ran a fawning story on Mike Holmgren's genius,...

Barry's rich. He'll get away with lying to the Feds. After paying his lawyers, he'll be slightly less rich when it's over, but he'll get away with it.

The last row still puts you inside the stadium. Hope you don't have a bladder the size of a broken record. At least you won't get rained on.

I'm HH so that makes me 11 rows cooler than you. Also, if you're on the west side of the field that far up, you'll get a nice cold breeze straight off the sound down your neck for the whole game.

That's football!

But seriously, there isn't a bad view in the place. Even that high up you have a great view of the action, and the jumbotrons w/ replays make up for anything you miss. plus, for 30 bucks, you can get a hand-held direct-tv-enabled tv that carries stats for all the games as well as replays. steep price, but if you have a fantasy team it's kind of nice to be able to keep up.

or you can do like i do, which is peer over the guy in front of you and watch his.

so sit back, have some garlic fries, let your nephew sip off your beer, and make sure he's cheering for his home team!

GO HAWKS!

Sometimes, you gotta unleash the dragon.

And I approve of performance-enhancing drugs in sports. Even if he did everything he is accused of doing, he still hit those balls over the fence.

And I wonder what Giants fan among the Feds managed to keep the indictment on the back burner for so long. . .
