Sports Jock Itch Strikes Back
posted by on January 11 at 16:37 PM
All day, Brad and I have been meaning to post about tomorrow’s big Hawks/Pack playoff game. However, we’re both too busy to do a proper write up. So, we decided to poll the Stranger staff on the game’s outcome. Watch out, Skip Bayless. With analysis like this, you could be out of a job soon.
Who’s going to win tomorrow?
Stranger editor Christopher Frizzelle pondered the question for a moment before blurting out “Diane Keaton. Maybe Meryl Streep, but probably Diane Keaton.”
Sigh.
Jen Graves told me “All I know is it’s not going to be the Huskies.” Too true, Jen. Too true.
Megan Seling correctly answered “Uh…the Hawks!” Then she asked if there was a Seahawk named “Toopoo.”
However, Josh Feit believes the Washington Wizards will go on to play either Dallas or New York next week, and he puts the point spread at 97-94.
Eric Grandy thinks Canadian hardcore band Fucked Up will make it all the way to the Super Bowl, compeletely disregarding the fact that Canadians know absolutely nothing about football.
And finally, Annie Wagner proudly proclaims “The only thing I know about the Seahawks is they won because Barack Obama said they did during the debate.”
Anyhow, Brad thinks the Seahawks are going to take it 24-21 but said he’s really only sure of one thing: he won’t be sober by the end of the game.
Meanwhile, I refuse to make a prediction outside of the fact that I think the game is going to become a field-goal fest, and Josh Brown will finally win Carrie Underwood’s heart.
Also, I hope the Jags stomp Tom Brady and Co. into the turf.
And now, a heartwarming tune sung by Brett Favre’s children. Every time Brett throws a pick, the city of Green Bay makes him adopt a kid.
And remember, Mike McCarthy has to drive down Holmgren Way to get to the game on Saturday.

I predict Brett Favre will win my lonely gay heart with his sweet, sweet hotness.
Live Slog?
skip bayless should be out of a job period
thank god you finally posted about the game - i had no where else to post the dream I had last night where the Hawks win, 36-34 or 34-32? It was in the 30s with 2 points between them. I don't know if that score is possible, as I know nothing about football. or the seahawks
The KSK link is broken.
Sick, totally sick. Poor Abused kids singing some political anthem. Those were Young Pioneer scouts from the Moscow region right?
Thanks UnoriginalAndrew. The link's been fixed.
Gotta go with Favre! Love that over the hill QB. And I, too, hope that the Jags will stomp that Brady Bastard into the turf. I fear, however, that the crushing of his skull is merely a dream :(
Go, Pack, Go!
Though I like the Squawks well enough, I was cheering for Washington last week because I didn't want the Packers to face the Walrus and Hasselbeck tomorrow. This should be a good game, but god, I hope the Pack sends the Walrus into his post-football life with a playoff loss!
Bellevue Ave is absolutely on point. It'll be a TD fest. I'm worried.
hey Jonah, watch your mouth. modern day footbal was developed in Canada.
"On November 23, 1876, representatives from Harvard, Yale, Princeton, and Columbia met at the Massasoit House in Springfield, Massachusetts to standardize a new code of rules based on the rugby game first introduced to Harvard by McGill University in 1874."
Word.
My problem with football is that the athletes are not even remotely close to naked.
Could they make the uniforms transparent maybe? Please?
Holy Mary, mother of god:

Great day of football Saturday.
Hawks / Pack is tough to call. Though I agree that it could go to lots of FG's. I ain't predicting shit. Should, could, ought to be a great game, it could go in any direction. I do hope that both teams have their quality game in 'em and that it isn't a blow out either way. It'd be sweet poetry to see another OT coin toss.
Pats / Jags - I think the game could play out similarly to the Chargers / Titans game of last weekend, where the teams were pretty even in the first half, then the Chargers out-paced the Titans, who slowly came apart in the second half.
I've liked the Jags all season - a similar, but way better version of the Ravens, who nearly took the Pats down. The Jags ' D has to keep the Pats from scoring big, and the Patriots D can't have a soft game. The Patriots, though, sorry to say, will cause many a bitter Slogger to raise their fist and shout "Curses!" at the end of the day.
